I know there's no actual answer to this, and it could vary wildly based on unit and time period.

Still, curious what you guys think in your head when you're playing. If you give it any thought at all that is lol.

Based on the roles your units play, taking and holding land, taking cities, ect, I'd say they probably represent a Division, at least in the modern age.

I have about 60 hours in, and I haven't had the AI declare on me or (more worryingly) on eachother... is this because I'm playing on King? It's really turning me off that I have never seen a war I didn't start even if I am aggressive and belligerent towards the AI.

Is there a mod that anyone knows of that will make the AI even slightly aggressive?

I feel like most wonders spiritually keep the same general ability or at least the vibe of one between games. Terracotta Army usually gives you military units, Colosseum gives you Happiness/Amenities, even more abstract wonders like Colossus are always about trade.

I know it must be hard designating an ability to a wonder that doesn’t have a very distinctive ability on paper but I’m curious as to what the rationale is between each iteration.

Civ 5: Gold on Quarries and from Expending Great People.
This makes sense to my limited knowledge. The great person thing I’m assuming is because it represents those individuals passing, and the gold I assume represents the opulence afforded to their internment. As for the quarry I assume that just builds on that idea.

Civ 6: +1 Charge on Great Engineers and increased yields on coastal tiles.
Pretty big change. I know it’s one of the wonders of the world but I don’t know what designates this as the wonder representative of engineering. I’m assuming given that since it’s where we get the term mausoleum it was truly an engineering marvel. As for the coastal yields I’m assuming that’s because the ruins fell into the ocean? Feels weird though that a wonder would be defined by its fall.

Civ 7: Defeated cavalry units return to the capital once.
Yet another switch up. I’m assuming the tomb was built for someone known for their military feats? This one beats me.

I found the bug while waging war with a neighboring nation when my ally had a scout over my harbor.

I've owned two PC-based games in my life: MS Links 2000 (on CD) and Out of the Park Baseball. This is my third, and my first foray into the world of Steam.

I know that mods were initially disabled with this latest update and that many (most?) of the original mods either stopped working or haven't been updated yet. So I'm curious which working mods you would recommend to a first-time PC player.

And they never declare war on me either. Is it just me?

I remember playing the game when it came out and while you could use the resources tab to see how many of each unit you had, there was no way to find them.
Is this still the case? I’m messing around with it again and I don’t see any such options

I JUST realized that back in 2000, I started playing 'Call To Power', and NOT Sid's game.

I was reading the comments on the CTP post from yesterday. First, that is the box I had. Second, I always wondered what happened to the underwater cities.

After years away, I bought Civ's 3 and have been playing Sid since. Anyone else have this experience?

EDIT: I was looking for a turn based game and bought CTP cause it looked interesting, I wasn't looking for Civ.
