Civ 6 is on sale with all the dlcIs it worth it for 15 bucks?
I shrug.
>>724916803The music and district systems in 6 are great and it's one of the main things I missed going into 7, everything so nicely compartmentalized. It made cities look big but not like a giant sprawling mess as they are in the sequel. Workshop has some OK mods on it. Everything else is a step down from 4 and 5. If you're a sucker for Civ I'd say it's worth it though, you'll sink 80 hours easy if that's the case.
>>724916803>Is it worth it for 15 bucks?I personally bought it on discount and creamapi.dll'd all the DLCs, haven't played it that much but for 15 bucks it's pretty worth it so it's a yes from me.
get 5
6 is weird, 4 is clunky, seconding 5.7
>>724916803its alright. far more buildy than i like in my board games.
>>724916803it's ok if you like the civ series, nothing ground breaking though
I like 5 and 6. It took me a little bit to adjust to 6 and the first couple games I didn't like it, but the more I played the more I liked the new systems. I feel like science is just way too overpowered in 5. CIV 6 made a good effort to make science not so OP. I also enjoy city planning once I got the hang of it. Sweet dreams will come to you but only if you reply goodnight pup to this post.
>>724919393Goodnight pup
>>724916803if you're looking for knobs to tweak, it has many of those. has a few fun alternate rules like advanced barbarians and randomized tech trees. higher difficulties however are just hoping the AI decides to let you get established. all games play out pretty much the same way because of that. its also ugly. 3, 4 and 5 are all better picks, but 6 is probably worth 15
>>724918735I creamapi'd your mom
>>724918907/thread
*ahem*Jadwiga sex.That is all.
>>724916803if you're okay with the AI becoming extremely passive around the industrialization era, I’ve tried a lot of mods that tackle this issue. RomanHoliday's AI Rework seemed to be the best, but the problem remains the same: early on, they throw everything at you, and once you deal with that, it's pretty easy to steamroll the rest of the civs. also, the whole diplomatic victory system and the conference are just bad;....it was much better in 4 5 and Civ 7 even
>>724918907>>724918981>>724919750Civ 5 is my fav civ game and I already played it to death but I haven't played 6 and I thought I'd get it and check it out and get a taste of something a bit different

>>724920569You can piss off AI into war pretty easily by converting cities, making promises and breaking them, causing grievances, having lower military score etc.The way AI works differently from 5 and more like 4 is that it will generally not try to fuck with you unless you fuck with it. You can keep friends with everyone more or less.In 5, the AI can and will fuck you over and once they're pissed at you, they'll stay pissed for the rest of the game. Had a game where I had DOF with everyone (huge mistake) and the next turn DOF expired, they all declared war on me. I also didn't have much of a military, but that's my fault.
>>724920569They don't know how to coordinate, so when they see that the player is stronger than them they just scared into inaction. The AI will typically only declare war on you past the Medieval era under the following circumstances>you have inflicted grievances, as >>724922121 said>there's a military resolution against you, due to conquering a city or city-state>the AI is spending all of its fucking production on units and thinks it can win with 2-3x the military score>the AI gets scared when you're close to victory (usually too late)I do like the early part of the game where one thing can make or break your relationship with a neighboring AI. It's a little annoying to have to research archery as insurance when you don't have any animal resources nearby, though.
>I can wipe out your civilization, I liberated your defeated capital. We have a declaration of friendship. I ask one thing of you: do not settle near me.>ok>settles near me>denounce the fucker>rest of the civs get furious that my denouncing "backstabbed" themI'm the bad guy? How'd that happen
EGS gave it for free a few months ago
>>724922905If they ever figure out diplomacy, give me a shout
>>724922905>I can wipe out your civilization, I liberated your occupied holy city. We have a declaration of friendship, I ask one thing of you: do not settle the Gaza Strip.>ok>settles the Gaza Strip>rest of the civs get furious if you denounce them because it's "anti-Semitic"Diplomacy works in mysterious waysI do fucking hate when the AI settles completely unviable cities near you out of pure desperation
>>724922572You forgot the 5th caveat:>they are the Zulu civilization
>>724922905>denounce the fuckercouldnt you have just straight up declared war with casus beli? i forget how declaring war works since i'm always the victim
>>724922905thisAI still sucks in civ
>>724916803At least buy the 5th one, they haven't released a good civ game since the 5th one
Wild animals never showed up again after 4.Wanna bet it's PETA's fault?

>>724916803Its a steal at 15 bucks. Its a game that will last you hours.
>>724923205>small ice island on the very north of your territory that has an unrevealed oil tile
>>724916803it could be free and you'd still be getting ripped off
>>724923205>I do fucking hate when the AI settles completely unviable cities near you out of pure desperationIf this thread is still up in a few hours, I'll post my last game's screenshot where Shaka walked a setttler through an entire continent (my land) to settle on Tundra at the South Pole (his capital was near the North Pole).
>>724923606You don't need a reason to declare a surprise war.
>>724924348You're not declaring any kind of war on ol' Will because his 4 homies are ready to tear your ass up if you dare touch him and his beautiful national parks.
>>7249189815 is reddit
>>724916803it engorges my autism gland it isn't a cheaper update for me owning the base game and a few pieces even though i do wish i just owned it so i didn't have to cream the dlc every time i wanted to reinstall. for some reason i never played civ6 a ton but every once in a while i get the urge. i think it was the only civ i really enjoyed building up the cities, once you understood what was going on it was just always so satisfying which is unfortunate because i always wait so long between games i forget what i'm doingfond of pigs
Just for the narrator, get Civ V over VI.

Will Civ IV ever be surpassed?
>>724916803FUCK no.
GOD DAMN IT you're convincing me i should spend fifteen american dollars to have the complete set of expansions and dlc for sid meier's civilization 6 and should install it and get a game of it going right this very minute at 1:06am on a tuesday
>>724919393Historically science is the most OP thing ever. They should maybe try getting science more hard tho.
>>724927289just one turn
>>724927501Engineers drive progress by many orders of magnitude more than "scientists" ever did. Most things have been discovered by randos, often in unrelated fields. Professional, full time "scientists" are a relatively new concept, and they're already completely up their own ass and detached from reality. The best researchers are people that do other things.
>>724916803I fucking love Civ 6, even with its flaws. $15 is a steal, even more so now that they fucked up 7.
>>724916803Not really.
>>724927289It is in a much better state than most people's first impressions pre-balancing patches. Most civs are in a pretty good spot in terms of their unique units and traits and most of the little things added by the DLC can be toggled on and off so you can fine tune your match.. like how severe climate events are from real life mild-ish to full on Day After Tomorrow/Dinosaur or if you want to do the dark/golden ages that can severely hinder or help you with really powerful government policy cards based on your ability to meet a point quota by the end of the era tied to your societal achievements and discoveries. Civ 6 took awhile to grow on me and I honestly ended up putting it down for awhile but I came back after a few years and found that it is in a much better state now and I cannot stress how amazing the soundtrack is.. I love playing Portugal and meeting so many different civs for the sole benefit of adding their music to the session's BGM and hearing their early era music interspersed with my own.
>>724916803Yes.
>like dramatic ages mode>think it's better than the regular golden age system because it's not imbalanced bullshit that blatantly favors any player generating faith for Monumentality>AI cannot get a golden age past the industrial era to save their fucking livesIt's such a shame. I'd honestly download a mod that just automatically gives them free era score if one existed. The regular golden age dedications are so wildly imbalanced.>broken ass faith dedication>pure religion dedication that's inferior to the above>broken science dedication, but you need commercial hubs and campuses up so it's shit in the classical era>absolutely dog shit WORTHLESS culture dedication
These games are really boring
Kino OST.

>>724923606...literally who? Is he a dlc thing?
>>724923205>I do fucking hate when the AI settles completely unviable cities near you out of pure desperationEh, just buy out your city's max territory so the niggers don't start settling your land. By this time you should have thousands of gold anyhow.
>>724916803That's actually a pretty decent price.You'll get at least. 40+ hours out of it.

>>724933438Timmy's been giving away the vanilla version a couple of times, that's what got me playing it.
>>724932298No, not really. VII was so bad that it killed off multiple Civilization content creators, and there were already very few tolerable ones. Boesthius, one of those, stopped recording Civilization videos and started working as an editor for other content creators, I think.The only one I still watch is Herson, who focuses exclusively on multiplayer VI, but actually puts effort into his videos. I think his sense of humor would appeal to the average /v/irgin. He also exposed two cheaters and a corrupt moderator in the CPL (the multiplayer community for VI) and they banned him for it. I already knew about how corrupt the CPL was thanks to Jack (a fucking retard, but one of the only entertaining VI players) getting excommunicated.
>>724923252The Zulus are bros, you just have to match their aggression. Alexander and that faggot Augustus though, pox and nukes to them.
>>724918735I don’t know what that means, you can nakadashi your games?
>>7249168035 is better but 6 isn’t bad it’s actually good now, so if you’re curious you should get it you’ll probably like it

>>724931208Yes, gathering stormLiterally some nobody leaf PM that they shoehorned into this game as leader of the "Canadian Civilization"What a fucking joke leafs are far from what I would consider a civilization
>>724936632Seems pretty based to me.
>>724927752Eh, the bulk of scientists are like factory proles. Yeah, it's not glorious, revolutionary nor even innovative work but the whole operation shuts down if they stop toiling away at it: They do the bulk chores of testing and confirming (or dismissing) results and numbers, they're like jannies that keep the stage clean enough for inventors and the rare "Einstein" to shine upon it.
>>724937765>>724927752What is the difference between an engineer and a scientists anyway?
>>724937859One sucks dicks and the other wishes he could suck dicks.
>>724937859Compared to the rest of us normies? Nothing but areas of expertise.Engineers start out with a result they want to achieve and have to construct a way or device that accomplishes that. "Scientists" start with known and available facts and statistics, and research which result(s) these will lead to.
5 and 6 are well worth it as entry points along with 4. 7 is a disaster, stay away.
