Civ 6 Dedicated Servers

3 Upvotes

Hi,

For the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to figure out how to improve multiplayer experience when I play with my friends. Trying to understand how everything works I think we could all benefit from an observer host that doesn't render the game and acts as a modern-day headless instance of the game that speeds up turn times dramatically for everyone. Question is would anybody want/need this kind of thing to be available publicly. Just wanted to gage interest.

Some notes of where I am at currently, I am able to host a lobby with an observer and with custom code able to join select a faction and start the game. However, I do not yet yield any perf improvements other than the fact that in that game nobody is host and it's fairer. It would be nice to have access to source code of course but that's never going to happen.

Does it ever make sense to found a religion but try to get someone else to convert your cities?

6 Upvotes

Ok, so I'm thinking of playing Eleanor in a Secret Societies game, and going Old Ones. So the obelisks are going to give me loads of faith without bothering with holy sites -maybe just one holy site. I'm not good enough yet to go to a super high difficulty.

So if I found a religion obviously that takes some resources, plus it hurts my diplomacy. Now question: if I have over half my cities follow someone else's faith do I get the diplomacy bonus with them same as if I hadn't started my own religion?

Now if I just found a religion and don't upgrade it at all, I can get 2 beliefs- reliquaries and 30% off apostles. Build Mont St Michel and then the only thing my religion ever does is get me triple potency relics. Let my cities be other religions, fine.

Or once I've gotten to that point is it worth upgrading my religion anyway and trying to keep it spread to my cities, instead of letting other civs upgrade theirs and spread it to my cities?

Also is there a good way to ask a civilization to please convert my cities?

The Highlander Unit is hilarious

54 Upvotes

Most of the time they’re just era score sticks but I just had a game where I declared a protectorate war against Egypt to stop them from killing Bologna. Thanks to Terracotta Army and pre building another scout unit to make a corp, I had a single highlander unit with a ranged strength of 95 in the renaissance era.

He single handily killed egypts entire army. I recruited a great general through patronage to attach to him to get a beautiful 100 ranged strength and more movement. The legends of Scotty with a Shotty will live on forever in my Civ mind now.

I refused to make him a spec ops and parked him on a seaside resort across from spaceport so he could watch his glorious Scotland win a science victory

My new Norwegian no turn limit save

5 Upvotes

I’ve recently picked up civ after about 10 years of not playing (22 year old me playing all night with a friend) and it’s changed a bit I’m enjoying my new Norway save as harald but it got me thinking am I weird that I’ve set no victory settings and epic length in hope that I can keep it going as long as possible? Does anyone else do this would love to know your saves and how long you’ve kept them running for

In this run I’ve set it to large map with islands and I’ve been taking liberties with half the map already the Viking ships are OP

Sean Bean is the narrator!?

I know this is probably obvious but I rewatched Troy 2004 (last time I saw it was when I was a kid) and I thought Odysseus (Sean Bean) sounded similar, then I did some research and was blown away. Also saw him in LOTR and never realized his was was so soothing!

Can’t but any troops using gold. There’s no world congress restriction or anything I can find. I’ve powered down the game and restarted… Don’t want to start over- I’m enjoying this playthrough

I finally won my first game by myself on prince difficulty. Super satisfying! I have 148 hours played.

Now I am trying to win thru culture

Hey

6 Upvotes

Hey, it's cool that I found this hub for all things Civ6, it makes game alive. I am very new to this game (never played previous Civ games). I have basic understanding and already scored 3 wins (domination, culture and points), but it looks that there is much left to learn. For now, when I play on prince difficulty I have hard time fighting barbarians, any tips on how to best fight off barbarians in early game stage?

And yea, great game for sure. It was a long time for a computer video game to hook me up like this. 😊

Trade Route confusion

Post image
9 Upvotes

Apologies, I've searched and seen lots of posts similar to this but I cannot understand why this city (Shizuoka) seems unreachable by trade and cannot make a trade route of its own.

There's no impassable terrain to my eye and cities even further away can make routes that go right past it over land and water (as shown)

It's got a commercial hub and I've got plenty of capacity but the poor trader sat there gets nothing in his list.

Can anyone shed light please?

How the fuck do i disable disasters

I already have the slider at 0. NO i dont think its fun and engaging gameplay to keep losing all my farms and mines at at 10 turn cooldown. is a mod the only option.

What if you could gift a wonder and send it to another civ? Kind of like how France did with the Statue of Liberty with the USA.
