GAY DISTRICTS

How do I make Marathon less terrible

also why does Fraxis hate Domination, the entire end movie is "BUT WHAT IF YOU DIDN'T KILL EVERYONE?!?!?!?"

As a general rule, what's the ideal amount of cities you should have? With the way district costs go up, it seems like a lot of cities isn't the best way to go. Is it good to have a city specialized toward each district?

>>158520502

I am fond of having 5 or 6 cities usually

>>158520560
I like 4-6 cities all of them with industrial and commercial districts and then add districts according to victory I want

>>158520625
Do you treat your cities as equals?

>>158520506
>also why does Fraxis hate Domination

It does seem like they shit on that harder than any other victory. The few games I've played warmongering I end up with crippling war weariness due to having to mow through 50 fucking warriors with my infantry or muskets or whatever. Not to mention all the warmonger penalties due to CBs.

It's infinitely better than V, even better than V God's and Kings, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say personally for me it's better than BNW.

The core of the game is so full, I'm genuinely excited to see what they add. Likely corporations and diplo vic, but after that.

I would disagree with sucks and turd, but I have to admit after playing a few games of 6 I'm tempted to play 5 to refresh my memory since it's been a year or so since I played it last, or even expanded Beyond Earth because I bought the expansion for like $5 during the Christmas sale and have yet to play a full game of it, even though it looked like it dramatically improved the game.

Should I improve all my tiles? How do districts even work?

Click circles on the map to set specific tiles to be unworked or to lock them to be worked.

Bottom-right corner has priorities which you can use to get the AI to automatically assign citizens for you. This saves you from having to micromanage.

>>158522869

So, even if I have improved a tile, if there is not a citizen assigned to it I am not receiving any benefit from it?

I was figuratively drawing question marks in a bubble above my head when I saw that my cities could work tiles currently occupied by barbarians.

Why would they let you do that? It's retarded. How can you work a tile currently occupied by an enemy?

>>158522986
Correct.

Also, you can only work tiles a maximum of three spaces away from your city center. So keep that in mind when you're settling.

>>158523110
A "Citizen slot" refers to the district system. Tiles with districts can't be worked by citizens until you construct a building in that district that provides a "citizen slot".

>>158521125
It mildly improved the gameplay.

Now instead of being a poorfag all the time and drowning in unhealth, you get ridiculously unbalanced health buffs out of fucking nowhere all the time.

The point is it's still wildly unbalanced, but at least now you don't feel like a scrub as much.

>>158523110

With 0 context provided I would guess it's what you shove population into in districts, which is the civ6 equivalent of specialists.

And on a completely unrelated note, "Your ban was filed on October 24th, 2016 and expires on October 27th, 2016 at 01:11 ET, which is 2 hours and 35 minutes from now."

I think the key difference is he's no longer a designer or even a lead designer for any of them, he's just a regular programmer at Firaxis and is a sounding board if people want it. I know the Xcom dude over there talked about going to Sid a lot and bouncing ideas off him, which presumably worked out since Xcom EU was pretty good and Xcom 2 is fantastic.

Then again who knows because the less said about Starships the better.

>>158524903

Probably degradation on unit sell price based on use. Maybe make units sell less overall, but definitely a nerf to Scythias unit sell price and a reduction on chop production will be hotfixed.

I'm finishing off my coffee and trying to decide what if anything I want to play.

Civ6 kind of pissed me off since the last two games I started I picked a different early warmonger civ and ended up isolated on a shitty tundra and the jungle island, so I currently don't have a game up.

Been replaying D44m on ultra nightmare with the new arcade mode which is fun but I only want to do a level or two before I need a break.

Been considering playing with some modded Fallout 4 survival mode or preloading the Skyrim special edition but I'm not really feeling it.

Would be up for playing some Overwatch if an Overwatch buddy showed up but I can't be assed to play by myself.

Thinking about starting up Bastard Bonds or Overfall but recent civ6 play has reduced my desire for turn based tactics.

And then finally thinking about finishing my Bioshock 1 remaster replay just so I can delete it and free up some space. Was enjoying playing it again and then I just stopped.

So there you have it anon. That's why I'm not posting much but still have the thread up and keep glancing in from time to time.

Domination is ez though
Conquer 1-2 civs in the ancient era; then begin taking territory slowly over the following 100 or so turns

Or if you're playing on Huge: conquer 6-8 civs before the modern era, then conquer the remaining civs

Superwide is the most viable strat so the more competitors for territory you take out the easier the remainder are

>>158530232
You gain the ability to send another citizen to work that tile in the citizen management screen.

I think the problem is that rivers are considered "border" features

unless of course, you'd want boats to be able to occupy the two tiles the river affects?

>>158520386
This was absolutely fucking insane.

>>158530583

Just give the adjacent tiles the feature?

>Great Lighthouse requires a lighthouse
>Maracana requires a stadium

why

Great Lighthouse should just act like a super lighthouse. You get all the bonuses of a lighthouse and then some. Same with Maracana.

>>158530583
I was thinking it could be done in a custom map if you just drew out freshwater tiles like a very long lake.

>>158530583
>rivers are border features
>walls aren't

is there anything like military advising or any kind of stats like that? like i guess i can understand if they don't want to make it completely transparent to see whether you're stronger or not, but in that case wouldn't it make sense to at least add some kind of espionage where you could learn?

>>158530841

Rivers counted as a "road" way back in Civ 2. Units traveled faster along them

>>158530961
It was in 5, yeah, but I think that was purely visual.

holy shit playing russia on higher difficulties with more aggro barbs so annoying

fucking barb camps all over tundra then in usual spots around the non tundra area

>>158530784
I think they stack.

Also iirc lighthouse boosts food while GL gives +1 naval movement, haven't built Maracana yet

>>158531082

Right, so just buff the Great Lighthouse accordingly so you don't need to build a regular one.

>>158531189
also I think there's the "building within the district" vs "wonder occupying a tile"

we'll see what they do

>>158531056
When you're stuck in the middle of the tundra by yourself there's only you and a city state to deal with all the barbarian spawns. Russia early game is kind of hard mode.

I find it strange that a Library wouldn't want a written work, but a Great Library would

then again it has been also a thing in Civ V

Is there a guide explaining all the different kind of fuckery you can do with the settings file?

Is this a good spot for a city? The game is recommending I settle by the river, but then I'd be missing the natural wonder and a lot of the luxuries. I plan on trying to build Petra there, since there is a ton of desert.

How do I raise appeal? I have one fucking area in my entire land that's suitable for a national park, but one of the tiles is average and not charming. Just cuck my shit up I had no idea it had to be four tiles large. Fuck

>>158531867

There's enough space there to do two cities

>launch an inquisition
>does literally nothing except destroy my apostle

>>158520506
I think it's because domination is extremely easy to do compared to the other victories

>>158532093
Eiffel tower.

Or use the appeal lens and settle a city literally just for the national park.

Civ II anon, plz post screenshots of the map from the WW79 scenario, that was my favorite.

>>158532127
You can now purchase Inquisitors you dumdumb.

>>158532127
launching it only gives you the ability to purchase inquisitors with faith

>>158532127
was that apostle made after the city has been converted

>>158532102
Where should I put the two then?

Everyone! Post your prettiest Civ VI cities. I like modern looking developed cities.

why does everybody connects citys with tiles what are the benefits i always build my cities at the best places but they arent connected is there a benefit for connecting cities?

>>158532705
>is there a benefit for connecting cities?

It's easier to move units between them

>>158532705
Districts benefit from adjacent districts. Including districts of other cities.

2MB, 1920x1080px

>>158532530
What about like this? I don't wanna settle between the mountain and the wonder since that is a prime spot for a holy site (would be like 4 or 5 faith, since I also have the desert pantheon).

>>158532848
Oh I didn't see that that was Crater Lake.

might not be enough space then

>>158532974
So you think maybe 1a (the original plan) is fine? I don't want to waste space, but I also like room for my cities to grow, especially my capital, and if I settled 1b, I wouldn't have a ton of room for my capital to grow.

>>158532705
You mean connecting with roads?

Roads move units faster along them. Easier to move your military around your empire if it has roads.

In Civ5 roads between cities would automatically generate gold, but I don't think that happens in Civ6.

>>158533114

I'd go with 1a

>>158533167
no not with roads just tiles that connects the tile area of one city woth an other

but this anon gave good answer
>>158532809

So apparently Policy slot wonders don't work if you conquer them from other civs, wish I've learnt about that sooner.

>>158533556
what do you mean

>higher difficulties give a flat combat power bonus
why
any other kind of cheating for the AI would be preferable to this

>>158533660
They don't give you any slot if you annex a city who built them, you have to built them yourself.

>>158533804
Ah right, basically even if they lose the wonder they still have the extra policy

>>158533770
>why
so it's more difficult

>win the war in heaven
>now control a sixth of the galaxy
>the unbidden show up
>one of their fleets has 411k power, another with 394k
>I'm barely passing 100k total over 4 fleets
>Awaken Empire that I'm allied with has a 75k fleet and 30k fleet
>another fallen empire awakens and doesn't have shit for fleets that I've seen

And I specifically avoided the psi jump drive, but some fuckers on the other side of the galaxy fucked it up. I think my total fleet power can max out at about 150k right now but I'm going to need to conquer more planets to increase my capacity. Unfortunately all the systems near me are also part of the dominion.

I can't fucking stand the production cost escalation system in Civ 6. It fucks up the entire game. Early tech/building is a suckers bet, you're best to go early military and grab a bunch of land, then shit out a thousand fucking settlers to settle every square inch in sight, and THEN you can start researching shit. And just pray you can actually finish the game before you're bored to goddamn tears having to micromanage a hundred goddamn cities.

>>158534283

One of my favorite things to do is to take the small map (for 6 civs) and then put all of the civs in the map. Makes for an interesting game. Sometimes the AI doesn't get the chance to actually place a settler.

>>158534283
District costs increase as you gain more techs/civics.

Building a campus or a theatre district actually disadvantages you, because suddenly your progression locks you out of building anything useful.

>>158523853
One leader could be Billy and another could be Kazuya

Civ unique district is Gym (unique district that replaces encampment, provides bonus amenities, and has increased production if built two blocks away from cattle)

Unique unit is Fucking Slave, replaces ranger, +5 strength when next to enemy districts and also can perform one action as a builder

Kazuya's bonus is (Gangin' up!) that gives his units a substantial bonus when flanking enemy units, Billy's bonus is (That's Power Son!) which makes his units receive combat bonuses when within 6 tiles of one of his industrial districts or encampments

Also adds the 'Dungeon' wonder that must be built on flat land next to the city center. Gain the 'Dungeon Master' civic (Military Civic that reads 'Every time one of your units defeats an enemy unit, add production based on the defeated unit's combat strength towards your next civilian (builder, settler, trader, military engineer) that you build. Adds great artist points.

So, lemmie get this straight, I can just bomb them from Orbit until they don't live anymore, correct?

The AI in this game is ridiculously incompetent.
They always start off super strong and then for the rest of the game they just fuck around and do fuck all.
