It is nice to have a reminder of much of the 'fun' from the beginning of Civ 6 that people have written off over time. The Barbs in Civ 6 were always atrocious.

I appreciate you playing a bad start. While legendary starts can feel really good, the bad ones make winning in the end so much more satisfying because you know you earned it.

[@ashero2092]

Holy, this start is flatter than an average tsundere

[@alexisauld7781]

Computer: Has a low health unit right next to a full health barbarian, easy pickings, logic dictates the barb'll go for it. Barb: Walks *specifically* onto the player's horse, kicks it over, and makes w*nking motions at the player. I've almost considered turning barbarians off in games, because they're a player hazard, not a game mechanic that affects the computer in the slightest.

[@t.j.webster5545]

I started doing this. It's actually really nice. Makes it so that not every game is a war-focused game

[@ahmadashraf9448]

yup I think barbarian AI should be 3rd party, and opportunist. Not dead set against player.

[@matthewbeale5098]

I had one where a city state guarded a camp by placing a warrior and slinger on 2 of the 3 adjacent tiles. Their crossbowman managed to get so many shots on my musketeer trying to close in and never went for the two free kills next to it.

[@ClockworkOuroborous]

I've had it attack my scouts when there's an undefended worker or settler 1 hex away. The AI just likes to F with humans.

[@Sp4rt4nSl4ya]

Any game with anti player bias drives me insane. I've had that kind of stuff happen in civ, stellaris, and total war games, and it's infuriating. I've had civs in total war on basically the opposite side of the world declare war on me when we meet, and spend a good 15 to 20 turns sending doom stacks to come wreck me. All while 4 other nations do the same to me, who happen to neighbor the others, and they all hate each other. I've seen them ignore armies they're at war with that would be an easy win, just to attack me for a much more costly win for them, or hit a town, sack it, and run off. I understand it's there to ensure the player doesn't just chill and snowball while everyone fights each other, but it's not guaranteed to happen everytime. Anti player bias however is guaranteed to nip at your heels everytime.

[@OrthographyPoliceman]

Watching Potato suffer through a horrible game is oddly intriguing and pleasing, simply because I myself just couldn't. The fall of Paris would've been my last call to reroll a new game.

[@hockeyinalabama]

Early barbs are brutal. They end up slowing me down so much, and they seem to spawn in just the right way to screw your plans.

[@TomJakobW]

I’ve also been playing a ton of civ 5 recently and hadn’t played 6 in a year. Coming back to civ 6, it really makes you respect the little differences in certain ideas in both games! All in all, I really enjoy 6’s higher complexity and more possibilities. And damn, civ 6 always get’s me jamming; that OST is civ-4 levels of amazing.

[@DryHeavingLlamas]

I really like that Civ VI's pantheons are really situationally useful. I do wish that the map generator did a better job with resource placement and that there was an "okay" pantheon that boosts floodplains or coastal tiles without resources or something like that. Maybe a pantheon that gives a chance of faith yield to tiles on natural disasters, similar to how you can get extra food yields and production yields.

I had a similarly awful start in a recent deity game. I think I had four wars declared on me in around 65 turns. I started next to Australia, who immediately declared war. Held them off, captured a city, got war declared by another neighbour (Ottomons?). So I peaced out Australia, got war declared by Arabia (?), then immediately got a fresh war with Austalia as soon as they could declare it. There was no winning that.

[@Ultrawup]

Creators often struggle with diversifying their content if they're really known for doing one thing, but it can be really important for preventing burnout and such. You can always do it the way Soundsmith does, and just start mixing in other content you enjoy making while still also making some of the thing the people want. Gotta keep the lights on after all!

It is actually insane how the barbs can be bigger threats than the other civs sometimes. I swear you had to fight like close to 10 times more barb units than the ones greece threw at you.

[@ethribin4188]

My biggest gripe with civ 6 is the way district production costs work. They should work the same way as builder costs. The way they work means you effectivly must preplace your districts. Which is just so dumb.

Develop the Truffles and take all of Pericles' money in a trade deal. You'll handicap him and he'll thank you for it. You probably could have combined that with a Horseman rush, if you could outrace their Walls.

I do enjoy watching you solve these really rough starts. But I think getting more favorable start positions is going to be a net positive for most players in 7.

[@SirSharkus]

The first thing I build in 90% of all my civ 6 games is a second warrior, because I have been surrounded by barb camps far too many times to not get some kind of early game security like that. Most of the time it pays off too, when a camp spawns near my city with only a turn or two left before it finishes lol. I swear, every time I've ever rolled a strong start next to a natural wonder I end up being surrounded by barbarian camps.

you should truly try the bbg mod, even if you are not playing multiplayer, it fixes a lot of things, has enough changes to be refreshing and removes the more braindead ways to play the game, i've fallen in love again with civ VI since playing that single mod.

[@chrism7395]

Had a game where I started on a peninsula with arabia and mongols sat 20ish hexes away at the landward end of the peninsula at the highest difficulty. I didn't even get a chance to settle a second city. Pretty sure the AI compares your military score with its own; if it's at least double, then the probability of war increases massively, which means at the higher levels an early war is almost certain due to the difficulty boost.

[@DocPlaysBad]

Yesss!!! Civ6 is back!

Harvest strategic resources is one of my baseline mods because having horses ruin your city planning is just low key dumb. You can place a city on top of them, but not a district? Honestly still surprised that wasn't changed during the DLC cycles at some point.
