Civ 6 Abridged! Part 3 - What If Cortez Had Anti-Tank Bazookas?

[@travtravhaha]

Best Civ experience I've ever had was the quasi-official Civ IV mod that came with the game (Beyond the Sword expansion iirc) that expanded the end game tech tree quite a bit. You could build clone armies, city arcologies, etc. and have a massive apocalyptic war across the world as it was gradually ruined by climate change (which they showed by having random titles turning into useless desert tiles). I'd say you should give that a try, but Civ IV usually turns into a clusterfuck of military unit doomstacks marauding around the map and it can feel impossible to understand why you've won or lost a battle at that point.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Arcologies and everyone dying to climate change is precisely the endgame civ needs. current ending has a matrix-esque vibe where everything stops in the 'golden age of humanity' and it's happy ever after.

[@villevalste1888]

And you can get an "everybody loses" -game-over screen if you or the AI uses too many nukes. I think the mod was called "Next War".

[@Jarethenator]

There definitely are more advanced future techs...I guess they came from a DLC and its been so long since I've thought about how I got them since the DLC is just a staple for me. I mean, there's some pretty crazy stuff once you get up there for sure. Giant Death Robots and the like, and the bonuses you can get do stack pretty nicely.

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Sounds more like it, the curse of 'the rest of it is in the dlc' strikes again!

[@Jarethenator]

@@OfficiallyDevin Indeed. At least the DLC is good this time, though.

[@jacobhewitt2798]

Very good and nice mister internet games man, I hope you achieve the level of monetary success that would allow you to continue your search for a southern belle

Terrain like trees and hills reduce range by one unless the unit has a ability that ignores terrain

[@Gaming_Samurai-uc8kb]

the range of the units depend on the terrain. If there is either a hill or forrest in front of the unit then it loses 1 range. However, you can maneuver around to were the unit is between a forrest or hill and a plains or flat tile. So you can still fire.

Thanks for the upload!

[@cullenkerr6556]

The indicator of where the other civs are on the tech tree is kind of unreliable. It shows the most advanced tech a civ has but doesn’t indicate how well rounded their research has been. If a civ beelines military or economic techs they look a lot more advanced than they actually are

[@walnzell9328]

This game is 100% a player action based AI. The AI doesn't know how to compete against itself, so it teams up against the player, even at its own expense. The AI teams only care about one of them winning, rather than their specific team. It's man vs machine. They don't have to win. You just have to lose. The machine collective is working to see you fail.

[@nobubblegums-1899]

Yeah, one reddit post summed it perfectly, the AI doesn't exist as competing players, they are just obstacles for the human player. Just awful. Modders for Civ4&5 were able create actually challenging AIs that play to win, they would probably do it for 6 if the devs opened up the dll, the fact that Firaxis doesn't care is just frustrating.

[@russko118]

and this think makes me civ like this game less

[@Coinkidoink]

I swear civ5 had the internet and advanced tech How is china terraforming mars with 80s tech?!

[@OfficiallyDevin]

It's a dlc apparently, but yeah you can still make the mars colony, it's a building rather than a tech though

[@iceintheair]

hope this isn't too much action for u

[@OfficiallyDevin]

Microdosing action over hours of end turn sequences, just a tease

[@janpiorko3809]

nice

[@TheAleatoriorandom]

Nice!

[@furtado704]

Seikilos epitaph - the song for the Greek in civ VI - gets very weird with the passage of time, it kinda ruins it.

[@JC-mx9su]

Is OfficiallyDevin the same narrator as Kings and Generals.

[@jerryvalentine8798]

No that's UnofficiallyDevin. No relation.

[@ArtanisOwns]

yeah civ 6 isn't that good! sorry about that, the DLCs make it okay. they keep coming out with 'new and exciting' game modes like zombie units spawning constantly or heroes (like Hippolyta) that your people pray to and summon a couple times. civ 5 with the CBP (community balance patch) is pretty good, and modded civ 4 is excellent. love your strategy gameplay Devin
