GAY DISTRICTS

>>158422471
I like districts, I think the core of all civ 6's problems is just the AI really

I just want the clean looking borders for my empire back. The hex system and the way you expand cities makes it look so ugly in 5 and 6, even really late in games.

im really fucking shit at counting hex tiles

so it's worth building a shitty city with no luxuries or bonuses if it gets you all those district overlap?

>>158422834
no, you should definitely be building cities in good spots or on top of useful resources because the production cost increase can fuck you

Does Sins of a Solar Empire belong here? It's kinda 4x-ish and wouldn't really fit anywhere else.

Anyone here play Civ like they're NTR? I setup a game with only 3 civs: myself, Gilgamesh, and Cleo. I build up my capital a little bit and then setup an auto-hotkey script to click next turn endlessly. I then leave my room and sit outside it for a few hours while the game plays. If I come back into the room and the game is still going I mumble a few apologies and excuse myself again. I've thought about knocking on the door before I enter but I don't want the noise to potentially disturb them. A few times my mom has asked why I sit outside the door of my room and I tell her each time "It's my new meta" (she has no idea what that means).

>>158422935

It's been a while since I played any Civ, and my last was 5 - how do I get back into gud for six now?

I started a multiplayer game with some friends as China to try and turtle up with my walls and pursue a science victory, but immediately I was losing to a bunch of unmet civs.

Then I tried arabia in singleplayer for religious victory but norway kept fucking dominating the map with apostles.

Am I missing some key element? I seem to be disadvantaged every time by turn 10.

So at what city sizes should I be building settlers? And should I always make them from my capital or what?

I've tried two games so far. Both were boring as fuck, felt like nothing happened and just kind of fizzled out. I didn't really know what I was meant to do - the forward planning for district thing is a real stumbling block when you don't know what other locations you're going to get for future cities. What if the current city is actually, in the end, the best for science even though it looks shit for science at the start of the game?

I had long stretches with nothing to build in various cities. I had a few patches where about 15-20 turns went by with nothing to do but click Next Turn. I want to like this but so far it feels like they've added in way more features yet managed to add in no more fun.

So it was asked last thread but didn't get a response, is there a torrent for Endless Legend that's not got adware?

I was just going to use the 300+ seeders one but now I'm paranoid after reading that since I don't have any way to reformat if I fuck up my PC.

Is the Stellaris DLC good?

>>158423747
Look for this: Endless Legend (v1.5.1 S3, all DLCs, Online Crack, MULTI7) [FitGirl Repack]

Does anyone what happens if you get wiped out if you've already won?

I'm newish to Civ (I've only played 4 but very rarely)

What Civs are vest for newcomers in 6?

>>158423903

>>158423624
Do people tend to play on faster speeds? I just got to about turn 150 or so and was still at around 600AD. Or does time start moving a lot faster?

>>158423972
Honestly, just play on a lower difficulty. If you're really inexperienced and play on a higher difficulty you're probably going to lose whatever civ you pick. If you go on about medium difficulty, or even lower, it doesn't matter who you are.

Anyway, Rome are considered very good. Though I'd still recommend just starting easier, like I said.

>>158423412
>Am I missing some key element? I seem to be disadvantaged every time by turn 10.

that's actually how it's supposed to go, you're always supposed to start winning later in the game. if you're winning from the start then the difficulty is too low

>>158423903
Thanks friendo, that saves me some degree of worry about torrenting since I've gotten FitGirl shit in the past without any issues instead of downloading something with 0 comments by someone with a chink name.

FitGirl's repacks should all be good as long as you get them from a trusted source. The torrents linked on her site or the ones on private trackers if you have access to them are all safe.

If you don't have enough amenities barbarians will spawn in your own lands because your people are rebelling. So technically he's right that, within a certain range, more amenities will decrease barbarian spawns.

>>158428432
>>158428578
>>158428676
What if, instead of having to research being able to stack 2 and 3 units on each other, you could stack them (with or without some arbitrary cap) as long as they're all from the same city? That's what the tech explains anyway, that you've been an expert in military organization and aren't just relying upon the lords, captains, whomever to handle their own troops.

Historically this works too, since until the Military Revolution in the 15th century most commanders didn't even know how many troops were fighting for them. They just called on their alliances and hoped to lead from the front.

>>158428778
Units can pass through other units if they have enough movement. Does Norway have no disembarkation penalty?

>>158429223
Yeah, Civ AI has always been significantly worse than what you'd expect from a human player, but 1UPT has made it much more obvious, which is the core of the problem really. You don't need an AI that can operate on the level of a human player, you want an AI that provides a challenging and engaging game for a player

1UPT is also responsible for the extremely slow production that causes the tech/production disparity that most people are noticing in VI, it has to be slow or else you will get even larger unit carpets than the AI already builds

>>158429921
There should be some kind of recurring cost for using units who are outdated. Like it would actually be hard for the US to maintain a corps of mustekmen, because we have built our military around modern arms, and thus muskets would require a whole different set of fixed costs.

>>158429921
The AI would really need a cheat for that because they have a hard time with strategic resources. If they can upgrade they generally do, it's just they can't a lot of the time. It's a problem with the game design.

Sometimes though the AI just sees that earlier era units have no maintenance so it spams those.

I don't really notice the tech/production disparity but I do mostly shit out horse archers and horsemen as Scythia. I didn't really feel it in my Russia game either though. When you have maybe 20 non-gimmick military units and knights upgrade straight into tanks, it takes forever for your army to obsolete. Not that having so few units is a good thing, mind you.

And this game is looking dick anyway.
No planets, no resources, got warp when i hit random, etc.

So I looked up what niter actually is. I've always heard it called by it's compound name: potassium nitrate.

I don't know. I've been upgrading using mid-tier parts for decades, to the point where the only original piece is a single white slot cover which is in a different (Now black) tower.

>>158431628

I will do absolutely nothing and even avoid playing any mods, like I did with 4, and like I did with 5. Such is the way of my people.

I actually played like 5 turns of FfH back in the day but then I almost instantly stopped giving a shit and went back to the regular game. Never cared about infoaddict for 5 either. I'll load up Bethesda games with all the rape mods I can find but strategy game mods basically never do anything for me.

>>158431390

Bad idea. Even if they spread your religion themselves it still counts for the purposes of breaking that promise. You should have an army big enough to scare those fuccbois into submission anyway.

Nope, I had pretty garbage science so I never reached that point. Someone else presumably had it since they opened up the eye for the unbidden which we promptly macro-cannoned back to the warp.

Ended up being spot on. Thought about it a bit, went with 8, 8 was most common rating. Definitely room for improvement but still really enjoyable at the moment.

No you rush buildINGS with chopping. Seriously it's dumb, you spend what, 5 turns? on a builder. Then have him chop twice and a 15 turn district is almost finished. Then you sell the 1 use left builder for lods of emone and pay for most of the cost of another builder. Or fuck just hard build it again, you've already saved like 10 turns on building. Who you then repeat the process with until the entire world is a deforested husk.

>>158438578
Wouldn't know, standard is already absurdly slow in the mid to late game. I hope they fix this stuff.

I actually got the hang of it now, starting on lakes and 2-3 hammers spots is fucking important and lumber mills are god tier. Plus im playing on quick not sure what that does but holy shit this is so much better than my England island play, that was so fucking slow and I usually use islands so no rivers and it sucks. Cleopatra is really good so far. I'm actually really liking the game so far now, once I understood how districts works and where to put my cities thing sped up. no more 50 turn wait times in the beginning with cities,

big stick teddy went to war with me out of nowhere on like turn 10 and things got real but then I made a simple trade with oranges and he was like looks good bro sure peace is good.

I can see why the ai is bad but I already knew that from my England play through. land civ is sadly so much better than sea civ right now. Also I know I should be lining up my districts but its not telling me which ones should be next to each other, i'm just making sure I have room for them and can keep my lumber mills.
