Expanding on this, I'd like to also propose that, because of Africa's abnormally high ethnic diversity, and thus the much larger number of tribal groups operating in any given portion of land, that this also negatively impacted the development of civilizations in Africa in general.

Early classical civilization, from which more advanced forms stemmed from, seemed to rely on a reasonable degree of consolidation of resources without massive amounts of immediate competition. While obviously jungle-hell isn't good for this, places in southern africa have similar climates to europe, but I think the massive quantity of competing groups just stunted any effort to sit down and build up shit. There was always so many parties bickering that it was never possible for one of them to gain enough of a resource advantage to settle down and begin major agricultural and infrastructural developments, which is why almost all noteable Sub-Saharan African civilizations were a result of people already "civilized" encroaching into Africa (ala Ethiopia), or being propped up by the wealth and resources of external powers (West Africa, Zanzibar, etc)

>>158356113
According to the script, Harald has the lowest priority for good tree spots, though the only other civ even specially competing is Kongo, and I'm not sure what the mechanics are beyond just what's in the .xml file.

He's got a moderate bias for coastal starts; that might override good forest spots? I'd like to see a more in-depth breakdown of the coding for that, to be honest.

Is Potala Palace worth the production?

Diplomacy policy slots are kind of pants.

Also, I know that Norway has been working on it for some turns now and I would have to race him for it, though I do know that my city is far more amazing than his in terms of production. Even though I have a spy in his city, I can't really tell how many turns away he is from completion (if there is one I haven't figured it out). I'm so far ahead in tech that I could start on some really awesome modern wonders instead.

It's also kind of funny how he only has one city after almost 300 turns. Poor guy really got fucked by geography.

It's a nice specialization tool. The only gripe I have with it outright is that for each district you make, the price of them increases, globally.

I'd be perfectly okay for each district in a given city being more expensive but when it's global like that it sort of fucks up new cities made in the later game.

Another issue is you can't remove them.

>>158356658
If you think you can beat him for it, I'd go for it. Diplos aren't amazing but if you're a gov without many slots and you have one stuck in a wildcard it's helpful, and besides, tourism is good and all that.

Funny how it doesn't say what the actual bonuses of the district is unless you go into the civlopedia, and even then it isn't highlighted and you have to know the difference just be comparison. Everywhere it just says 'a unique industrial district for Germany'

Turns out its +2 for each adjacent commercial hub and (I think) bonuses on top of the regular adjacency bonuses

but it'd also be a good idea to conquer the city it's built in instead

What the fuck do I do about amenities? It's one of the mechanics I don't understand at all.

What do multiple sources of the same luxury resource do?

Is there any way to build the Entertainment District early? Kongo Bongo dropped to -6 amenities because I was underpopulated for it (10 population).

Why are the sources of amenities so hecking rare?

>>158357806
Trade is important. If you don't intend to kill all of your neighbours for their phat lewt, you need to get duplicate resources or money and get their resources.

I do agree though, Luxury Resources seem to be fucked, spawn wise. I'll see only a handful of them on the entire map. I've done a few games partially through and never bumped into whales or pearls. It's bizarre.

So enlighten me a bit. Once I unlock factories, I only need 1 industrial district sitting between cities within a 6 tile radius? Does this actively discourage me from making more industry districts? Or does the bonus refer to that of the factory itself, and not the workshop, adjacency production, etc?

>8 civ deity game
>literally 6 civs all close together one stuck around 4 civs in the middle
>nobody takes anyone elses city all game AI literally only takes city states

>>158357806
multiple sources dont stack, trade them

trade different ressources if you lack amenities, also some particular buildings after you build the district can give amenities I believe besides entertainment.

Colosseum is a nice help.

civilopedia fucking sucks there is no way to find out how to satisfy a specific need, for example if you type amenity it will just tell you its needed for cities and you can get it with luxury ressources, it should give a list of all sources, fucking retarded.

Multiple sources kinda stack. I'd rather say they sort. rather than stack.

A luxury only affects 4 cities, so if you have 4 or less you can trade extras. but 8 or more you want to keep 2, 12 cities then keep 3, 16 then keep 4.

You're civ will automatically try to adjust your amenities for the most efficient per city level.

A single amenity will make 2 citizens in a city happy. so you need about half as much amenities as there is pop in a city.

>>158358618
give more score points to things that you don't get through science

More importantly, greatly increase the effect of scientific diffusion between civs, both by improving any trade route bonuses and giving free science by being next to someone who produces a lot. If you make it so your neighbors benefit from your science it disincentivizes heavy investment in science since you'll not get as far ahead.

Civ 6 is basically meant to be played with abundant resources on.

>but anon, that's cheating, you'll have too many luxury resources and you won't need to plan your civs around resources
This would be true if the strategic resources weren't limited to like one or two per fucking continent. Also amenities needed scale with population so even if you have a ton of them, you still need to make deals with other civs into the late game. It only helps with your early game amenities-wise which everyone seems to have a problem with because of aggressive AI and barbs. If you build a city on top of iron or horses w/o abundant resources on, you basically starve every other civ out of building cavalry and swordsmen.

>>158358637
Every tile also needs to fulfill one of the requirements listed in the civilopedia.

if you have 4 or less cities then multiple luxuries won't. But the moment you have a 5th city up to 8 then the second luxury of the similar luxury resource will be used for that one. so yes they do something for your cities.

One luxury source won't satisfy 12 cities.

It gets more confusing, because certain luxuries (the ones that don't provide a tile bonus) actually provide 6 amenities.

So sometimes you need 3 copies of a luxury to satisfy 12 cities, and sometimes you only need 2.

During the mid-late game, Corporations begin to spawn in civs. These depend on the civ's tech, resources, and locations at the time but eventually everyone gets a corporation in each of the specific fields/industries. They provide bonuses for their civ, and eventually go global in the end game.

When the corporations go global they all begin to hold a certain market share based on cities they're most powerful in. To win a science victory, your corporations need to control 75% of the field in every field.

The fields would periodically wax and wane depending on events in the game, initially locally but later globally depending on what's going on (if a civ with lots of oil goes to war it makes industries that care about oil stronger, or clearing forests hurts industries that care about wood, and so on)

Space Exploration stops being the win condition, and instead opens up a final field and major bonuses for most fields, and gives increasing benefits and access to rare or unique strategic and luxury resources, boosts tourism (so it ties into culture victories) and so on.

tl;dr make Science Victory and Science + Economy Victory.

Crouching Tigers are so shit, what the fuck

>>158359278
from the manual

>Luxury resources provide a small bonus to the hex’s output and increase your civilization’s happiness by providing them amenities when improved. Only one source of a specific luxury provides amenities, shared with the four neediest cities in your empire. For example, if you have 2 Citrus resources improved around your capital, only the first will be providing amenities to your empire. You can choose to trade the second Citrus with another civilization for something else you need, like Gold, or another resource

it's intended

I feel like when ever I built a unit, a few turns later they're obsolete. I can't even make proper use of them because the age progresses faster than I build or can move them to actually use them. Not to speak of that I sometimes never build certain units of certain eras because I am busy building other shit..
Would putting the game on Marathon give me more turns for the eras or is this made obsolete because production takes longer, too?

Religious victory was cool for one game but it's so fucking one-note. You basically only do one thing over and over again. You don't even get military variety.

it will give you more time for conquering because regardless of the pace of the game you still get a limited number of hex moves per turn which makes it less likely that you will have an obsolete unit by the time it makes it to the destination.

Civ III was always overlooked, even on release it was often compared unfavorably to alpha centauri which had come out just two years earlier.

I've found that commerce + harbor in every city is pretty much the craziest way to get ahead. Just micro the trade routes to whichever city needs them and you will have insane growth.

Hey guys. Where should I settle my 5th city?

I'm Gilgamesh, I was planning to use this 5th city to fill in the gap here, get the pearls, copper, and use it as a staging area + camp in case India means business.

1,2,3,4 or somewhere else?

And if the map is familiar to you, it's because I restarted from scratch since yesterday. Felt like I learned the ropes of ancient era, at least

>>158360457
It was only going to get +1 there anyway you can put it in other places to get that bonus

>>158360496
On the forest hill south of 3 and 1. Puts you in range of the citrus and sheep, but you'll need to dump some gold into tile purchases to snipe them from India.

>>158360496
Adding: the only fresh water spots are 2, the hex immediately to its right, and the copper tile. The other ones by the coast don't count as a lake, so they're coastal only (1.4,and the hex between them)

>>158360475
walls are basically just improvements that need to be next to the border and each other wall and provide like... gold? and some culture later on.

Tigers are shit because they're just super slingers. The range on Crossbowmen is infinitely superior.

Walls are a tile improvement that give anyone standing on it +4 combat strength. It gives adjacency bonuses once you get masonry and castles: masonry gives +1 gold per adjacent wall, castles gives +1 culture.

thing is, walls have to be linear: a given wall hex can only have two adjacent wall hexes, so the gold and culture both cap at two. The wall also can't bend sharply, your options are
***
and
*.*
.*.
if that makes any sense.

Add on to that the fact walls can only be built on the edges of your area. If you can reliably get loops with them they're pretty alright if still not very good defensively, but it's a pain to do so and if you don't get a decently long chain it would've been better to just use normal improvement anyway.

Tigers aren't really shit, but they're 1-range ranged units that aren't much stronger compared to everything else in their era.

>>158361541
You get more food/production sending a trade route from a new city to your capital, than vice versa.

Were you playing marathon speed? If you didn't rush for horse archers at the very least you deserved to die. Being able to get double units out is very useful even if it's just for barbs.

Just had a Horseman try to attack through an enemy Encampment to attack a Catapult in a straight line behind it. He actually attacked the encampment instead of going around the Encampment because that's what the movement indicator showed, even though his target was the Catapult according to the battle predictor.

This is a buggy game.

Religion needs work. There should be an option to close your borders to religious units.

I had a great situation of citystates being bros in my first game. Playing as Teddy, I had just finished a long war against Spain in which I had captured his capital. Nearly my entire Army was occupied at the far end of the continent when Ghandi somehow snuck a rather large army and a settler past my two frigates that were patrolling my Eastern sea. He dropped a city on my eastern shore right in between the two city-states. They were able to completely hold him off and once I was able to scramble my frigates back and bombard him for a while they took his city and razed it, so I didn't even have to take a warmonger penalty. It was great.

Isabella was one of them

How do I chop into my second city anyway? Wouldn't it go to the closest city? Barely any forests that are closer to the second spot.

Monty unless you're counting him

Yeah just checked that, a bunch of anniversary tracks from old civs.

And yet somehow still no Sogno Di Volare.

Deleting units shouldn't give gold to begin with. I don't understand why they made it that way when I'm pretty sure in previous games it didn't.

sweet domination victory

The AI chops too.

Civ 5 gave gold if the unit was deleted inside your territory.

the land on the other side of the channel is bound to have some forrests too.

Anyone know how to remove primitive and space monsters from spawning in Stellaris?

I want to try pitting AI empires together without any outside factors.

It's getting really fucking old when a civ settles a city on the opposite end of the continent, right next to you, at least two dozen tiles away from their capital, then when you settle one next to that city (right next to your own capital), they'll get pissy

This isn't how it fucking works

Same base civ ability, unique unit, and unique district as Pericles's Greece, all that changes is the leader ability, the border colors, and her capital is Sparta instead of Athens.

She's an alternate leader.

Not to the extend we do. But yeah they get in the occasional chop

I couldn't get Scythia's ability to trigger on Knights.

Just checked and yes you're right. The game also has 19 leaders(20 with Aztecs), when it was supposed to come with 18 civs. I just wasn't aware of her and Pericles' uniques so I didn't know

Then Civ VI's leader selection screen is really retarded. Gorgo and Pericles aren't even close to each other what the fuck, they don't look like alternate leaders at all. Civ V modders did better job than this shit

my though is you will be fine since AI dont rush/build petra that much, mostly is because regardless the level you play AI always avoid settling desert, so no reason for them to rush petra.
production output wont be a problem since those hill around camp got 2 points plus one food, idk how would you pick the ground but i always stick with water, i say, you build on the hill where your slinger stand, just IF you lose the rush game, can still have a good navy city or possible oil resource in late game.
my concern is your reserch, cant sure if you are able to make it. but you just hit 27 turn, is worth to try.

knights are heavy cavalry

Does Ghandi still go

The soundtrack is only 225 mb.

>>158364396
Clearly the leaders are who everyone knows, not the empires. Why would you want to see both Greeks next to each other if you're looking for Gorgo, bitch queen of Sparta?

>>158364563
The one my pirated game has is 612 mb. Also last time I used steam it had extras section where you would download extra shit, I think soundtrack would be there and not a fucking patch to the game
