That game was stolen from them not once, not twice but atleast 3 times!

I find it really easy to be surprised when wondering around and sucks to lose a unit that you’ve spent so much time exploring with. It’s also easy to make movement cost mistakes when trying to move and attack. For these and other reasons, like getting a little too aggressive or really wanting to save that unit you worked hard to get 3 promotions on, reloading is an easy crutch in a turn based game.

But some may find this unsporting and ruin the game (not to mention slow it down). What HONESTLY is your policy?

Cause Chet ain’t it! Aday Mara is nearly as tall…

I’ve played 1.5 games with heroes and have gotten Hercules both times. Love the instant districts for new cities.

Anansi is cool but can sometimes regret removing luxuries cause makes me less likely to settle there.

Hippolyta is great for domination. Theres no limit on her ability and can make seiges move and attack or attack twice.

The twins seem awesome but alas someone always beats me to them.

I just got Maui and i don’t know if I got lucky but he gave me 3 luxuries that i don’t have. Only issue is I only got 5 charges and the hero card seemed to promise 8 so I was kind of underwhelmed (perhaps I read it wrong but still)

So my answer is Hercules, but my guess is Himiko will win this one.

I suck.

The thing is it’s not for lack of excitement about my game, more so just addiction to civ6.

Shame me!

With all the backwards looking on the run up and the Power gripping and supposed to not “let go”, I’ve lost the ability to aim. It’s rough out there on tree courses often hitting the closest tree. How am I supposed to throw straight if I can’t even look where I’m throwing or release when it makes sense? Please help

It appears that the production bonus from Liang’s fisheries doesn’t stack with Shipyard bonus, I’ve got her established in my city and all my sea tiles have 1 production from shipyard but I expected the fishery tiles to be +2.

Current cost is 94 prod, 375 gold

I'm creating 352 gold per turn, almost enough to buy 1 trader per turn.

However, just holistically it seems that spending 375 gold on a thing that is primarily there to get me more gold seems silly!

My current highest yields from trade routes are 10 to 12; so would take 35 or so turns to recoup the money spent, but I know that trade routes provide many other yields and I even have the +2 food +2 prod card for allied trades slotted. Trade routes also help with diplomatic relations so I want to get them out there.

I somehow have 4 more trader slots, and I have a lot of low production coastal cities 10-20 max. What should I do.... disrupt cities production and just produce traders or buy them?

Playing as Phoenicia in true Mediterranean

Phoenicia has the Cothon Harbor replacement which gives a 50% boost to Settler production. I messed up and did not put my governor tile in a city by the sea so I can’t double the bonus with Ancestral Hall.

I’m in Middle Ages. I can still expand to much of North Africa and figure I should do so soon before the rest of Europe figures it out.

Problem: most of my cities have low production (they are by the sea without hills to build mines or forest to build mills)

Production for a settler is at 230 rn and 920 gold to purchase. My civ is making 350 gold per turn.

the city that has the highest production that is near where I want to expand would take 9 turns to build a settler and 7 if I slot the policy card. Obviously slotting this policy card means I can’t slot others which may be more beneficial on a whole, so it seems like a waste just to make 1 city produce something 2 turns faster!

I just built an industrial zone in this city and it needs a workshop and factory to help itself and future cities. For comparison a workshop is 780 gold and a factory is 1320. Could also get a shipyard for 1160.

So at my income rate I could pump out a new settler every 3 turns or so. (I want to make 6 new ones) or I could sink that money into infrastructure like the aforementioned industrial buildings and maybe settler production time decreases a little but will still be slower than 3 turns but then when they settle they’ll get a boost from the nearby factory.

TLDR: It seems obvious that I should just buy settlers but I feel like I should lean into the Cothons unique 50% off settler production bonus, or maybe I should use the money to improve city production instead. WWYD?

You can use the purchase screen to buy low on civs luxuries and then sell your own luxuries at a higher price even ones you only have 1 of

Can literally print money this way

I guess without this screen you could keep tabs on which luxuries civs have too many of to sell and work it that way, but this screen makes it so easy!

Playing immortal, and went for an early hero rush to help capture a neighbor. Not sure I made the correct choice cause these leaders keep saying my civ is pathetic

Since factories and power stations give their bonuses to every city within 6 squares and the bonus can’t be doubled except through a 5th promotion magnus, doubling up an industrial zone is basically only worth an adjacency bonus and 3 for the workshop. A mine or lumber mill will typically be worth the same or even more (especially late game) and only costs 1 builder charge. Not to mention it doesn’t steal a district slot.

I will admit that my factory based cities tend to have more prods than others but I think that’s bias on my part-to produce Wonder/military unit creating cities and throw a bunch of mines in there too. I realize an industrial zone can give that production without a citizen working there but that’s sorta minor mid/late game.

What am I missing here? Are yall just settling on flatland and harvesting all the forests right away?

And if not, why? You hate expansion?
