Isn't that completely redundant, if not absolutely incompatible?

Do you use any mods beside the ones you listed? I was looking for some overhaul like Alphamod, or something that at least allows me to properly colonize/terraform and adds more variety in tech/infrastructure.

I was also looking for mods compatible with Megastructures

Are you supposed to stop building corvettes late game? I'm not losing any other ships unless I get flanked by another fleet. My last fight against the unbidden I lost nearly 150 corvettes, 12 destroyers, 0 cruisers and 5 battleships. They've all got the speed boost module too.

>getting a 100% production boost is the bigger culprit
It adds to the problem, but numbers is overrated. The problem is how much shit do horseman, as a class, have. Ignoring control zones alone is enormous. Movement speed, in system where moving more than 1 tile is an achievment is absurdly good, etc. Horses now are essencially what CB/XB were - absurdly good units that cheat the system.

>>158694509
>But they should be good if they are proportionately more expensive
No, it's not good to have one unit type be so OP. Even if they bring back limiting number of units by resources you have, this is too much. Good gameplay comes from strategy, spam horses is not a strategy, it's a bullet point.

Good would be if they had downsides and upsides like they did in 5. Granted 5 failed their balance too by making them utterly useless, but what can ya do.

You want to see good balance in 6? Spear vs Club have good balance. Spear is weaker in head on match, but gets to be better at killing horses. And I still would counter horse army with horse army in civ6 not with spear army.

>>158694813
they should just split the movement penalties from hills and forests

hills don't give a movement penalty to cavalry but do to non-cavalry, forests don't give a movement penalty to non-cavalry but do to cavalry. At least then you would have some reason to make non-cavalry.

>>158694998
Nah the movement system is sound as is. moving through forest IS harder than a plain. All you need to make it enjoyable is to bump movement of all units by 1 point. Horseman movement bonus should be their key selling point, case that's what they had going for them. The issue is few other things CAV get that should be nerfed to the ground, mainly avoiding control zones.

>>158694787
that failed but at least we learned the bugs use no shield technology so we can switch our weapons to fully penalise their silliness

>"We have a little joke—'We do the research after the game is done,'"

Explais why the last 3 games were kinda shit at launch.

So now that TachLance spam is no longer viable, how should I be building my fleets?

Right now I'm building Battleships with Tach Lances bows, Carrier cores, and Kinetic Artillery sterns, these are backed up by a pair of torpedo/career cruisers, which are in turn each backed up by a pair of missile/picket destroyers, which are in turn each backed up by a pair of torpedo boat corvettes. The build is designed to maximize the amount of torpedoes, lances, and amoeba swarms. Everything from destroyer on up has two point defenses and two small gamma lasers as secondary weapons, but I'm concerned that my fleet is built around fancy toys and that I have a serious lack of regular guns.

Should I have included some broadside/artillery type ships?

>>158696398
I'm about 100% certain that's the joke though

>>158696560

Spain's capital is Madrid, though. At least under Philip.

Found interesting stuff in the data file looking for the city names; there are 5 ethnicities currently in game- African (Kongo), Asian (China, Japan), Euro (America, England, France, Germany, Norway, Russia, Spain), Mediterranean (Arabia, Egypt, Greece, India, Rome, Scythia, Sumeria), and South American (Brazil)

Not sure what that defines specifically, Aztecs don't even appear to have a listing in their DLC folder.

All that is left in CIV VI is for me to get a Religious Victory.

Is it really just that? Going medium-wide, making the Religious District in each city and just quietly spam 3 units until you win or get bored?

I'm guessing I'd have to spend some time getting the science and money districts too to be up-to-date but that's that?

I once didn't settle a city in civ2, and only got the goodies huts.
So I had a horde of NONE-support units all over eurasia. Since I kept moving my settler while the others settled I got like all the goodie huts.
And since I had that vast army I could easily just move units close to their cities and demand tribute or technology.
I think the egyptians managed to seal of africa after I got 1 unit through and they expanded a bit so I couldn't demand stuff from them after a while.
I could trade tech with them with the techs I got from the other civs though.
I guess that's the most barbaric thing I've done.

It's called bloat. It makes no sense to have customisable units in a game where unit types change faster than you can produce them.

Jesus wept, I just discovered that you can't destroy district. So I'm all pumped to start making my space shit to go for a science victory only to realize I'm fucked because my city needs to either grow 1 pop to allow for another district or I need to remove a district (Which I can't) to build the spaceport.

Growing the city is difficult because it requires amenities, which since you can't control where luxuries go even though I'm trading for luxuries none of them are hitting that city.

>>158705684
Corvettes die too quickly, so all I build are heavy kinetic battleships, (battleship) carriers, 'shoot smaller stuff' cruisers, torpedo cruisers and PD destroyers.

FEs launch huge amounts of strikecraft, but they're all actually bombers so having a single flight of fighters on the carriers each means that their strikecraft all go down before they can even get near the fleet. If fighters shoot down torpedoes and missles as well I wouldn't need the PD destroyers at all, either.

Torpedoes have problems with PD as usual but I put missles on the torpedo cruisers so that enemy PD has more things to choose from.

Don't you get the benefit of it? Every time I've had a strategic resource show up under a district I still get it.

>>158705764

Not a bad idea. I took a break to go make some tea and watch a little bit of the baseball game which brought the curse upon the Cubs since they shit the bed in the 7th inning while I was watching, but once I fire it back up I'll try to do that.

It may not matter much though, since it's some 30 turns until the city gets 1 more pop anyway without an amenity, and since I'm going for a science victory I have tons of tech which means districts are stupidly expensive. Probably would take a similar amount of time just for me to build a district in a neighboring city anyway.

HOWEVER, talking all this through to you just now just reminded me that there's a policy card or two that provide amenities. I could swap cards around to try to hurry that shit up. Forgot about them because it's normally not something important but at the moment it is. Thanks, anon! You are appointed honorary-waifu status.

Second is outside of keeping some of the jungle up for Science bonuses is there any other reason to keep them standing?

I played Stellaris when it came out.
Were the issues fixed in whatever patches have come out?
Does the game manage to keep up the fun of the early game into the mid and late game?
Or has the game been forgotten?

And it takes one X completely out of the 4X genre.

>Axe it. It's nice to have a boost, but it's ultimately unimportant. Unless something big changed that is.

Nope, it's the same that it always was.

Thanks, man. With Enduring they'll live to see five stars anyway.

Is scythia balanced?

new districts every 3 pop right? 1>4>7>10 etc?

and amenities every 2 from 3 pop? 3>5>7>9 ?

Not in the slightest.

Chop the jungle. Chop everything, if you really need production tiles you still chop em anyway and plant a forest and lumber mill it.

Best spot there though is probably your second choice, on the river between the win and horses. It gets the foxes and it's close enough to your other two cities to get an industrial district up north to stack factories.

>>158712297
at least you can get a national park easier :^)

>>158710582
If you don't get that one wonder that gives culture for each jungle, you might as well chop a few of them.

>>158712341
No you don't know what cities the AI have before you have explored them

>>158712562
I thought rainforest won't contribute to production when you chop it down, only forest?

and wait, you can replant forest?

Is it bad that when I saw Catherine I thought of Catherine the Great?

For me it's because there are no Earth-like maps.

The continents map places the continents way too close together and Terra doesn't spawn any civs in the New World.

Viccy please. I'm not going to invade my waifu, you forward settled outside my capital, that's why my troops are next door.

Mild quality of life improvements have smoothed down the particularly egregious failures of the AI and UI

Lol nope

Paradox studios has a long history of releasing barebones crap but actually turning it into something good over a couple of years of expansions and DLC. Expect to see gradual improvements but over a longer timescale.

>>158712994
Rainforest is half food half production so it's actually better than forest for boosting a new city. And yes you can replant forests late game. No chopping them for resources though, firaxis aren't that stupid.

>>158713520
oh so basically chop old forest, replant, put mill

Is the new stellaris thing any good? Does make the game f*n or is it still just a fun early game and then a snorefest and then fighting 8billionk stacks?
Is there still no reason to not make anything other than a single deathblob fleet armed with a trillion tachyon lances?
Is there a reason to have different ship types in a fleet or do you still just mass produce just a single ship?
