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).

Civ6 mod where district roofs correspond with nation's color instead of their resources' color when

I'm serious.

There were CIVBE mods that changed the color of your units according to the nation you were playing as.

Surely someone can recolor the district models to that they are less disparate?

>>159042126
They get more expensive as you research more techs and civics. No, you aren't punished for building lots of them, but you get a discount if you have less districts than average of a particular type.

>>159042237
>old cities can still make districts in 4 or 5 turns
>new cities take 60 turns to make a district

>>159042126
>>159042237
Cost goes up for specific districts if you build tons of them.

>>159042343
Your new cities don't have the same production as your old cities you know

>>159042406
that's my exact point, this mechanic literally doesn't matter for established cities but makes new cities impossible to properly industrialize

>impossible to properly industrialize

Just do what this anon says. >>159035719

>You send as many trade routes as you can To the new city and send it to whichever cities give you the most food and hammers. You also bring 2 or 3 workers to improve nearby mines, chop woods or farm stone. First district should be industrial to help everything be setup quicker. Then you keep developing until the city is self sustainable in food and housing. Then you start building other districts.

It's a chore because you cannot make cities grow by thenselves but you can get then online quicker than early game if you plan the city well. Also, techs and civics make possible to colonize more zones the further you go into the game.

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF MERCY TO YOU?

@stellaris
Are random civs completly random or choosen from the list?

I think in Civ VI what they voice act and what they say in subtitles don't match. In Philip's intro the subtitle says he's the king of Spain, Portugal, Sardinia and Sicily, Naples, Duke of Milan, etc. but in his voice acting I only heard Espana(I think Spain in Spanish) and Portugal, and not a single word close to rest of the shit listed in the subtitles. Can anyone who speaks Spanish confirm this?

>>159043450
randomly chosen from the list

>>159043627

Spaniard here. Yes, he doesn't mention all his titles, he simply says he's the king of Spain and Portugal.

Full translation would be:

>We are Phillip, king of Spain and Portugal, but above all we are loyal followers of the only true religion.

It's not because AI is retarded, it's because she really prioritizes the religion. A few leaders are like that, Haile and Harun also for example, they'll never stop converting you. In my experience most other civs stop when you tell them to

If she was talking about your Uxmal city, that is indeed close to Sewilla, she'll indeed complain about that. And AIs, depending on how close they are to you and how much expansionist they are will want your land. So you're learning how the game works at least

http://civdata.com/

Though to be honest if you know these leaders and the countries they rule, you can guess these things before looking at the site

>>159044848
Btw those variables are not static, every time you start a game they can change +2 to -2. Firaxis did this to not make every game same IIRC. For example Isabella's default religion variable is 8, it can be up to 10(max) where she goes crazy with religion, or down to 6 where she is much softer on religion.

This is also why Gandhi's nuke variables are at 12, so even if he gets -2 in a game you play it still stays at the max. Above the number 10 doesn't do anything else otherwise, just works the same as 10

I heard that Ghandi nuclear fetish was result of a bug in first game, where Democracy would lower his agressive level from minimal, causing it to go nuts and assume maximum value due to negative ones not being allowed. So when everyone else had agressive level at max 10, he would assume 255.

>>159046062
Correct, they were using unsigned values. Gandhi had 1 for warmonger and there were 2 -1 techs in game.

I love Victoria's voice acting but that model is really hard to look at

The default spawn of Civs is 9 tiles away, but you can go into the files and change it.

>>159046473
Yeah but aren't maps too small to change it? I assume if you do that the AIs would be too close to each other

>>159046526
I guess just play with less civs. I only play on huge and I think the maps are pretty big.

I wish there was an option for the player to have an advanced start in Stellaris.
The first hour of a new game is always unbelievably boring and after half an hour you might find out there's fuck-all for mineable resources in your sector and you have to restart.

Yeah I completely forgot you can change the number of civs. Because you can't change city states probably

>>159046674

I always play on Huge and I find there's a lot of empty space, especially since the AI is very stingy about building settlers.

Not just the quotes, but the texts narrator reads about your leader when you're starting a new game are also really shit imo. Civ V texts were much better than this

Just look at pic related and compare it to his Civ V intro which was this:
Greetings President Gandhi, great soul leader of India! You are the ruler of one of the oldest countries in the world with history stretching back almost 10,000 years. A spiritual country, India is the birthplace of three of the world's great religions - Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. This is a passionate land of music and color and it is a land of great wealth and grinding poverty. For centuries, India was divided into kingdoms who fought constantly with each other and against outside invaders. In the 12th century AD, India was conquered by Muslim Turks. In the early 17th century, the English arrived. Through a combination of shrewd diplomacy and technological superiority, they conquered your fragmented nation. England remained in power for some two centuries until driven out by a rising wave of Indian nationalism, a peaceful rebellion unlike any before seen in history.

Gandhi, your people look to you to lead them to even greater heights of glory! Can you help your people realize their great potential, to once again become the world's center of arts, culture and religion? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time?

Fucking only last paragraph of Civ V's intro is better than Civ VI one

the new cities you funded in 1579 don't have the +10 population and the industrial district of the cities you founded on 1000 BC.

This is insane. Who thought this shit was even remotely a good idea. It made more sense in Parameme's historical games, but this diplomacy system is simply infuriating in Stellaris, which is a different game in a different genre. Not only is peaceful expansion not a thing past a certain point in the game, but wars turn into a mind-wracking slog very quickly as well.

For the love of God, Paradox if you're reading this, I'm ready to buy Space Diplomacy DLC at a low price of $19,99 right now if it includes the following:

>ticking warscore
>warscore for ships tripled
>warscore cost per system halved
>armies removed completely as a mechanic, instead fleets automatically deploy marines who are resisted by planetary defence forces based on planet development and tech
>REWORK PROTECTORATES rework protectorates, as of now it's literally impossible to turn one into a vassal, I've literally never had it happen in a game, at least let us trade tech with them or something

There needs to be a mod or a patch that changes it so that religious units stack with enemy military units. Also builders and settlers should stack indefinitely on any tile, it's retarded the way it is.

Aside from "White Portraits and Names" and "uninstall", what are recomended mods for Stellaris?

Preferably something that overhauls the ethics so that they may change so that my pacifistic fungus people would become bitter militaristic xenophobes after few dozen wars with psychotic genocial neighbours. Making pops more reactive, planets more unique and tech choices more meaningful would also be a plus.

>>159060603

When they accepted my proposal for join war against other AI and then they attacked me instead of them the very next turn (no they're not on war with me), then yes.

The AI is indeed smarter than in Civ5.

I feel like each Ethos should have more unique abilities/units in order to help make them feel more varied and different from each other.

For example, Spiritualists should get access to "Missionary ships", that you can send to your neighbors or enemies, and they can cause huge ethic divergence within their populations.

Guys, please advise me on making a happiness build in Stellaris. Do I go with a Direct Democracy (Individualist/Materialist) or a Theocratic Republic (Individualist/Spiritualist)?

Of those choices, which do I make Fanatic?

Virtual Combat Arena has another happiness bonus, which will stack with the Hyper-Entertainment Forum.

I'll go Materialist for robots and the decreased build costs, which meshes nicely with Individualist's bonus to energy.

You should acquire things above before settler. AI warmongering pretty early.

I have question though, people. Is it viable to rush early empire and 6 population before creating any settler and then rush 4-5 settler with a policy that gives 50% discount on settler production?

>>159072435

fucking lel. That's if you want to conqueor the enemy and event hen all you need is 3 warriors before they have walls.

>>159072435
>Is it viable to rush early empire and 6 population before creating any settler and then rush 4-5 settler with a policy that gives 50% discount on settler production?
it depends on your production output and local competition. If there is a risk of getting cut off from land, than rush settler. If you aren't at risk tho - it's mostly worth waiting for 6 pop. Unless your capital is shit that is.

>>159072507
>fucking lel. That's if you want to conqueor the enemy and event hen all you need is 3 warriors before they have walls.

You are supposed to protect archers with warriors. If your warriors are alive and archers aren't you are doint it wrong

>>159073110

All it takes is 3 warriors to cap a city without walls that only has an archer defending it. It takes two turns.

mmh nice try

It's certainly got more unique flair to it.

Related question, how's the recent DLC for EL?

>>159079310
Wrong.

Rayman was a piece of shit.

>the recent DLC for EL
Sea is fucking rellevant now and not that thing you run to cheese pursuit and walk between oceans. Horray!

>>159079116
Almost, but not quite.

EL is very polished, it looks and sounds fantastic and is overall a comfy, complex and aesthetic game. But the ai sucks and combat is a drag which hinders the kind of replayability Civ has.

>>159079824
>ai sucks
It sucks much less than civ's mate.
>combat is a drag
nah, you are just bad

>>159079461
Only Rayman 1 was bad because of that obnoxious difficulty curve.

>>159079824
>combat is a drag
I hate this. Combat looks so cool from a first-glance, and it's great the first few times, but then you realise how much time you're wasting on each battle, and how deceptively obtuse and backwards some of the combat rules are, and soon you're just clicking "auto-battle" for every combat. It's a real damn shame.

>>159079990
It's like Sean Bean's intro narration. Novel the first few times then it's straight up annoying

>>159079170
>no fresh water
0/10 comfy

>>159080292
could that marsh count as fresh water or was it just a bug but the settler had a checkmark in the "fresh water" dark green part and I got +3 housing from water :v

I mean, I learned my lesson to never even try to tangle with the AI until you've abused their stupidity and gotten a massive tech lead, but holy fuck. I played pretty damn optimally as far as I could see and abused Scythia's severely OP ability and he still just drowned me out with his ridiculous free numbers.

I suppose it's what they have to do but I really wish someone would someday make an AI that's difficult because it's smart, not because it gets fuckoff huge bonuses.

How can you guys be this bad? Combat literally takes less time than moving units around in 6. It's decisive, easy to learn, and all round a better expirience than civs. Each unit has at most 2 abilities. Stats are self explanatory as hell. And initiative bar makes it very easy to see and control battle. The biggest problem with combat is that AI fucking sucks at it. RTFM people.

>>159080607
Nobody except you mentioned difficulty.

>>159080607
Why can't they just let us control our units individually rather than give directives

How am I doing?

Even the most complex life deciding battle takes less then a minute and a half for me, I am honeslty not getting where you are coming from.

Badly

>>159081479
Your research is fucking garbage, and somehow you're losing energy with that small a fleet. Fix your economy.

>>159080536
Wierd, I didn't think they gave fresh water but I guess it makes sense if they do. By the time you'll be able to clear the marsh, you'll have an aquaduct to connect yourself to those mountains anyway, so 7/10 comfiness I don't like coastal cities

Holy fuck
None of the randomize name buttons in Stellaris work anymore. I have to actually put in some fucking effort and come up with names for everything now. I hate it.
1.3.1 was a mistake.

>>159082413
Aquduct will give fresh water from the mountain.

>>159082413
the city isn't adjacent to the marsh either so idk if it was just the UI bugging out or what but isn't +3 from water a sign that the game does consider the city to have fresh water?

>>159080598
>seige tower
>horse archers

>no melee unit to take the city or make use of the seige tower
Am I missing something here?

And yeah it sucks that the only thing civ does to up the difficulty is to give the AI absurd bonuses to everything.

Building horse archers instead of horses as tommy. Scratch that. Building anything but horses as anyone.

Never said it was difficult, just that it was unfun and time-consuming.
>>159081601

That's impressive considering it takes a full minute just for all the units to execute their orders for just one turn of the six each combat takes place for.
>you literally can control units individually
Either you misunderstand or we're playing different games. Telling the units a rough idea of what you want them to do, and then having an AI execute what it feels most closely matches what you wanted is not directly controlling each unit individually.

>>159082551
You also only have 4 planets and a tiny fleet, you should have anywhere above 10-15+ by now
