In the last thread someone mentioned there's a pleddit screed somewhere articulating precisely why BERT is shit.
Anyone point me towards it?

Ever since i saw the Civ 6 trailer and i thought it was another facebook/table game so i've completely ignored it.

So my question is, is it better than civ V? dont give me that overused "it needs 5 years of expansions then it will be good!" as they do this with every civ it seems now.


I guess my my real issue is, has it been dumbed down?

>>158833705

I assume those porn makes wait for modding tools, taking the models from game after they're released is probably much easier

>>158833873
Only played it a little but seems like a fundamentally better game than V already, just crippled by bugs/AI shenanigans. Hopefully they'll be quicker with patches than DLC.

How's civ 6 because it looks like it has a lot of issues similar 5. Is diplomacy a thing yet or can i still expect surprise attack from once friendly civs and being called a warmonger for taking cities from people who attack me.

>conquer a city 3000 years ago because fuck not gonna get steamrolled by unga bungas
>3000 years later, get denounced by their allies that I occupy the city
Now thats some grudge, guess I should have done the human thing and genocided them from the face of the earth.

is it bad that i harvest stone

its such a shit tile

>>158835050
Its very different from Civ 6, I think only the 1UPT issues are similar.

Diplomacy does factually not exist in this game, its way worse than in Civ 5.

Is "Defensive Pact" the same thing as "Alliance" ?

nah not really, maybe don't do it at the start. but the way i see stone and other bonus resources that provide hammers is that its there to help rush wonders when needed. its not really worth anything if your citizens can't work it anyways or if you can put a district over it that would give good adjacency bonuses.

>>158835917
Once you stop building wonders and leave that for others they will hate each other even more than the player.

declare holy war and sweep up their religious units with a cavalry unit. peace out. do it again if he tries it again. eventually their religious units will be too expensive to make and you don't have to worry anymore

It's kinda irritating that they didn't include all of the Seven Wonders in Civ VI.

>>158836146
Yeah seems like all those should be a wonder in the game imo.

Which was the first to include all seven?
Was it 3, 4 or 5?

For fuck sake. The series is up to its sixth game and they still haven't revamped (or introduce as it seems) diplomacy. Every game has similar complaints in regards to how other civs interact with the player so we get a new fucking art style? I mad.

EVERY Civ from I-VI has had 4/7 at launch - the Colossus of Rhodes, the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the Hanging Gardens of Rhodes.

Civ III Conquests (the second expansion) was the first to add the Mausoleum of Mausollos. the Statue of Zeus, and the Temple of Artemis.

Civ IV Warlords added the Temple of Artemis, and Civ IV Beyond the Sword added the Mausoleum of Maussollos and the Statue of Zeus.

Civ V added the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (it's the same wonder- it was constructed for Maussollos), the Statue of Zeus, and the Temple of Artemis in the Wonders of the Ancient World DLC pack.

Those three have never been in a base game.

>apostles

when i see this i just think zodd and friends.

>>158837078
Hanging Gardens of Babylon*, how'd that even happen?

>>158836490
War weariness goes up from losing battles "nearby", pillaging, and attacks on the city centre.
Occupied cities get an automatic amount maybe.
In a defensive war in which I steam-rolled to enemy I had literally 0 WW in my cities and about -7 in theirs.
It goes down very slowly or not at all during war and goes down quite slowly in peace.

That's about as much as I've managed to figure out.

also enjoy spamming holy sites since that takes up the district slot for actual useful shit.

>>158837297
I'm guessing this: Our AI is absolute shit and won't upgrade troops, so we'll force extremely early combat during which we spawn a million units so it can seem competitive.

In practice you get forwarded by turn 4 then kill off his million units for 50 turns before agreeing to peace for all his GPT.

there are 7 religious buildings. That's one for every religion possiblein the largest games.

If i want to just spam cities and districts, what is the optimal district placement to get the most gold and production mainly?
My autism is killing me with indecision, which districts MUST be adjacent for a successful city spam strategy and which ones can be placed wherever i want? Also i guess districts are better placed 3 tiles away from the city center so it can be adjacent to those of other cities, right?

>>158835710

that pearl near the top, the third one from the top. the one that borders 4 others, would be a great place for a harbor that you could connect to a financial district. Loads of money.

I really am not enjoying districts system in Civ 6. Why are they so damn slow to construct. No matter what I do, it seems like they always take 14-24 turns as a minimum.

Why can't I just instantly zone a district and then have to deal with build times for the individual projects in it? Which actually would make sense, rather than hit me with these extra wastes of time.

Literally this is THE biggest thing that has killed my hype for this game, with probably housing being the next complaint (although that is fairly minor and kinda part of the reason I dislike the district system).

>>158838872

usually wide

>>158839114
literally the single interesting improvement is your biggest complaint, and not shit like the AI? k

>>158839114
The problem is mostly with the way district costs scale - it makes no sense for your districts to become more expensive as you progress through the tech tree.

>>158839114
because instant adjacency bonuses would be retardedly OP.

I just got Alpha Centauri, never played it before, should I play the expansion straight away or just vanilla first

>>158839217
Exactly, but that is how everything in this game is. Everything scales up. You can never push production high enough to beat the pace of the scale. Which is basically why the districts feels so bad to use and was my big complaint.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind districts themselves being in the game. In fact, I like how it makes the cities look larger and more spread out. However, I find myself constantly having to babysit my city having to spend eternities building various districts when I could have been building structures to put in them or units to defend them.

> HUGE: There is simply too much good territory to settle cities in Rising Tide... I know I don't stand alone in saying that I want to be in border conflict with AI far more often.

Yeah, this is my big annoyance and I did exactly as he suggests on my own - modded it so you have all 12 factions on Small / Dwarf. Default BERT is just wide open spaces, all over, all the time; you never have border wars with the AI because even if your borders touch at all its' over shit no-resource desert or something.

> As a completely random element to the game, it seems absurd to me (and to many people) that the bonuses you can get from Artifacts far exceed those you can get from Wonders. This is as much a problem with Artifacts being overpowered as it does with Wonders being bad, but let's just focus on Artifact balance here.

This one I disagree with; artifacts are wonderful. As with Stellaris anomalies, there's a bunch of cool ones to find that can drastically help you out; gives a sense of excitement and long-term utility to early-game exploration

I think the idea is that instead of having to fight against a stupid opponent with massive buffs is to fight a smart opponent on even ground.

What would you guys think of an option in advanced set-up that allows you to choose whether you want to start at the equator, far north or south, or at a temperate region?

i just got war-cart rushed by gilgamesh on turn 20

I'm playing a military dictatorship in Stellaris, my supreme leader died, the election held upon his death has concluded and now I got no leader. Is it because my admiral died a couple of days later than the big boss? It's the only thing that happened that could have had an impact, assuming it has one in the first place.
And how I get a leader now?

>>158844527

It's this >>158844681 . And not every game ends in horseman spam (I've actually only played 2 so far and neither one had it). A lot of times you can really dig in with defensive terrain and ranged units. My last game ended with someone getting a science victory by the skin of his teeth as his neighbor was invading.

Also Scythia is always banned so don't worry about them.

It's contextual. scout out whoever you're going to be attacking, find what weapons and armor build THEY'RE using, and then kit your fleet out with the counter.

I.e. avoid lasers if they're shield-heavy, avoid missiles if they're PD heavy, avoid kinetic if they're armour heavy

Early game is when you're scrubbing around for minerals.
Midgame is when you're scrubbing around for energy.
Lategame is when you're post-scarcity. Although I don't think that actually happens any more because retooled ship upkeep costs and a 9999 cap mean you never get to post-scarcity because your fleet is an insatiable beast.

So I am conflicted on what to choose. I couldn't land the Faith tundra pantheon but I also have a REALLY good starting area. Loads of room to expand and I am choked in on it so the ai can't fuck with me. I dont think I will have the faith for Jesuit education without a +faith pantheon belief.

I am also no locked in tundra, got plenty of places elsewhere to go too. So Anmities, food, or housing? Was gonna go with Cathedrals in the next slot.

Are districts mandatory improvements for all cities? Eg: I shoud build a campus in every city even if I don't have any adjacent mountain or rainforest?
Or are they just specialization for a particular city (science city - campus, cultural city - theatre, etc...)

Wish they would have done unique upgrades for your units depending on your country. Japan being able to put the samurai unique on any unit as an upgrade perk would be nice and give troops from countries more unique feel.

Good position to block the Japanese incursion, the bananas went well with my pantheon.

If it makes you happier I liberated Jakarta from the Aztecs.

After 1.3 every game I start gives me a one or two sub 16 planets, if any, near my homeworld and nothing else. But every system will have several 20+ worlds outside of my biome. The only way for me to expand is build a straight line of frontier outposts in the hopes of reaching the one decent planet near me. Any one else seeing this in their games?
