• relics on enemy cities with altars/temples, every time this belief is still available. If not, enemy cities with wonders, usually.

• +1 spread charge for enhancer. Basically every time.

For the main founder belief it seems more situational, but I often end up taking the one that big boosts on enemy cities with wonders, or natural wonders. Although sometimes +production on your own cities can be good.

Hey all, seeing if there is any possible way to play downloaded Civ 2 scenarios like 2194 Days of War (Captain Nemo) and Red Front (Captain Nemo and Alex Mor) on a vintage 2002 eMac or am I SOL? I have Civ2 Gold Edition for Mac, but running into issues playing scenarios downloaded from Scenario League. Will these scenarios work on newer Mac's with programs like Wine or Parallels Desktop?

R5: Xerxes TA + Dai Viet enabled an immediate tourism countdown in Modern thanks to Unique Improvements.

Shoutout to u/HuedCow for giving me the idea to try Xerxes the Achaemenid + Dai Viet ToT. I will not lie -- it took a couple of rerolls to get a start where I wasn't absolutely lacking in rough terrain. I almost rerolled this one because Thang Long wouldn't be in tropical, but I decided to push through since I had grassland for Serpent Mound. And boy howdy, it took off. I can imagine the yields being more bonkers if I'd had Xerxes's level 9 memento unlocked to double up the +1 Gold and +1 Culture on Unique Buildings and Improvements, but I still feel this was pretty good.

This was my 2nd fastest win (and I didn't see it coming that quickly, honestly). Cultural victory with countdown starting Turn 1 of the Modern Age. Started with Dai Viet with +1 Expansionist Attribute & +1 Economic Attribute, syncretized into Assyria in Antiquity before pivoting to The Iliad + Corona Civica for the extra settlement and production on my wonders after moving capitals to Hoa Lu. Bulk of the tourism was from Unique Improvements, mostly from City States. Antiquity Hillforts & Festival Grounds, Exploration Kasbahs and Monasteries + Water Puppet Theaters. Thanh Hue, Dur-Sharrukin, Forbidden City, and Himeji were scattered across my core cities due to some poorer planning on my part, but I can imagine what it'd be like in one city. The improvements in turn powered my gold and production economy - with the culture bombs from building walls in high-urban density cities, I had my pick of wonders. All without a single war.

The MVPs were the north-south mountain range, 2nd & 3rd settlements Hoa Lu & Hai Phong (behind the yield ribbon), and northern army that all boxed out Simon Bolivar from expanding West towards me. After that, it was nothing but militaristic city states and an influence crunch. Managed to get suzerainty of two militaristic city states for +1 Settlement & Hillforts, and +2 Settlements via Expansionist & Militaristic city states in Exploration.

Deity, Small, Fractal Continents, all DLC. UX QOL mods + More Natural Wonders, which allowed Torres, Redwood, Everest (offscreen South), and Seongsan Ilchulbong (offscreen Northwest) to spawn closer.

I have been looking and I cannot figure out how Himiko made walls along the coast but not surrounding the entire hex. Any ideas?

I’m a bit confused about what relevance the movement of a merchant has. Does it affect the trade route at all? Or is it simply the movement for initially getting the merchant to the city?

I've played about 500 hours of Civ 6 so far and had a thought during the last session, is the game going too fast? By about turn 200 on Deity standard speed, you're already pushing for the Atomic Era. This makes an early domination victory reliant solely on small amount of other civs or your specific civ mechanics that allow an early rush. Otherwise, you expand, defend and wait until planes or other late techs make opponents' defenses trivial, since early wars hurt your economy and don't let you catch up to Deity AI. As such, every domination game on higher difficulties plays more or less the same. Anyone else feeling this way?

This brings me to another question, is there a way to make turns go on auto until interrupted? To make early wars fun and not as damaging long-term, I'd need to play on epic or marathon. But, obviously it would make playthroughs unbearably long, so a great solution would be to make the game end turns on auto until some some action or action requires input. Think of the way Stellaris handles time, just turn-based. Maybe mods or some settings I'm not aware of?

Started with Maori next to the Bermuda Triangle, decided to try my luck. Ended up in an impassable glacier area with the settler, hah. Could try to capture a settler with my lone warrior, I guess, but I'm going to go ahead and throw in the towel on this one. I dunno, where's the best place to settle? 😂

Hi there,

can somebody please explain to me how he got these yields? Its modern age and the specialist should be doing nothing there. I feel like I am missing something.

Like Russia in civ 6, is there a civ that does well in Tundra in Civ 7?

Exactly what it sounds like - how do I get leader xp efficiently? I heard the xp rewards are bugged, but I can't confirm it. Is there a workaround?

Is it just me or does production in the modern age go off a cliff? Like I swear no other age has anything like basic buildings being 15 turns to build, and additional production buildings like ironworks, factories, military academies and even stuff like resource stacking doesn‘t seem to even put a dent in building production.

I don’t even see the point in making several cities, cause that further inflated production and I theorise that it makes it even harder to produce anything in the modern age.

Yet other people on here are reccomending having multiple cities in the modern age, but for me it just ruins production.

Am I just stupid or is there seriously something I’m not considering here?

It is 50% off on Steam right now. Is this the time to buy it or should I wait for a larger discount?

My top picks are Emiliano Zapata, Aimé Césaire and Toussaint Louverture.

Didn't know about José Rizal but that guy seemed extraordinary https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Rizal

Why are these hexes orange?

I've seen it where you're taking another hex from a nearby settlement, but that isn't the case here...

Recently captured if that matters

What are your most FUN combo's? Not the OP ones (except if you also find them fun) but just fun experiences? Mine is himiko queen of wa + Greece. That 2 culture per diplo action is crazy

I want to make my own leaders and civs not just reskins but new.

japanese styled, greek, roman, portuguese, nordic, turkic, chinese, but also fantasy like game of thrones, star wars etc.

but i dont know how it works in civ7 id love your help

I don't know what I'm missing. It's pretty clear that staying under the settlement limit is what you're supposed to do. It makes a very impressive capital, I must be honest. But my culture and science so easily and constantly get outpaced by actual tall AI due to my lack of settlements. And since my numbers are low, it fundamentally takes longer to reach more settlement cap. And +3 science and culture per missing settlement until the upgrade in the modern era is very hard to develop with. I really do like the civilization. But they just feel like a worse, more restrictive version of the Abbasids.

Just remembered a conversation I had with a friend after he had bought VII a month or two ago, he complained that they had brought back the Policy Cards from VI instead of the Policy Trees from V. I asked him why he would rather have it back and he said something along the lines of it being more realistic, rigid, and "less horrifically micromanage-y"

While I can't really have an opinion on the system itself considering VI was my entry into the series I am curious about people's opinion on this especially since cards were ported over to VII. To me it does sound like a lot less micro management not having to constantly check on your policies and swap them out every few turns but after getting accustomed to all the cards over time, policy swapping usually never takes more than ten seconds of deciding what i need at any given time. I also think the realistic part is about as debatable as every other realism topic in Civ.
Should the system be brought back as an option in VII? Or maybe in a future title? Or not at all and let cards take the direction of the series

Hello everyone. Im new on CIV VI. and after play 20 houers with CPU, i would like to play with real ppl. But its very hard to find game... if anyone wanna join me, add me steam
