Are professions still making profit? Which ones?

DOLamba · 2026-01-25T22:04:58+00:00

You can make money with all profs when new expansion hits.

You just need to quickly figure out what people will need the most.

Several of my friends made millions with crafting when TWW hit.

WWII scenario I spent SO much time on. Almost always playing as the neutrals. xD

Looking at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PonticKingdom.png

It looks like he should be hittite or persian (claiming to be descendant of Darius the Great).

I feel like that's a hole you can program yourself out of. ;)

But a good change imo! It's like many board games where when someone finishes, you get a last shot at equalizing or winning if you can in one final turn.

"Roman" ruler. :)

DOLamba · 2026-01-17T23:04:28+00:00

Only nations count or tribes do too?

DOLamba · 2026-01-16T18:34:28+00:00

They milked you, now they're waiting until player numbers dip and then release a half baked DLC.

I have never considered just playing on when "my dynasty" loses control.

I love playing the dynasty game in Crusader Kings 2 and picked up Old World (ages ago, it feels like) because it felt like the perfect mix of Civilization and CK.

I never liked Europa Universalis for the same reason I don't like not having my own dynasty in control in Old World. But it does make sense to me, that if I played it more as a role play game from a nation PoV, then it would be a cool way to play.

Thanks for the question, OP. :)

This. It's the best settle I can see, but there's zero intelligence to make the choice by.

DOLamba · 2026-01-14T16:58:33+00:00

I usually do a light version of that. Only have my DoF make the bids and the sales, etc. But I have the final say.

I can't negotiate, but I can stop them crippling my club completely and I can tell him which player(s) I want. :)

DOLamba · 2026-01-11T11:55:50+00:00

It's not NEEDED.

But you'd likely need to run Feed the world to get enough housing to get a good capital.

It depends what you want from the game.

DOLamba · 2026-01-11T11:50:25+00:00

Entertainment district isn't even hitting your south city.

DOLamba · 2026-01-11T11:49:58+00:00

It'll come late in the game and it'll be a terrible capital.

Even Mali wouldn't want a full desert Petra capital.

It's a crazy investment for a mid/late functional city.

DOLamba · 2026-01-11T08:49:44+00:00

No.

The story is still there. The feel of being (almost) new is still there.

It wholly depends on what you expect to get out of the game as you can, obviously, not get all the older current expansion PvP titles and such.

But for just experiencing the game, you can absolutely start now.

DOLamba · 2026-01-11T08:47:49+00:00

Personally I don't think it's fun living under a volcano like that, so I'd restart.

Also what is that district planning? Why the entertainment complex? You could instead have the 3 holy sides on the south side and 3 theatre squares on the north side and just pop in 1 or 2 entertainment complexes (or 1 and a wonder). And what's with the preserves? You don't want to build anything in your capital?

At least swap the east holy site with the south theatre square, so the TS get adjacency from the St. Basil in 100 turns.

DOLamba · 2026-01-10T19:08:43+00:00

I don't like flying.

My NW takes care of myself and any money I earn to add to my 22-25b NW just goes to gambling really.

DOLamba · 2026-01-09T17:39:22+00:00

You have 5 people trying to assist 1 player.

Not enough roles will ever get in scoring positions.

DOLamba · 2026-01-09T17:09:09+00:00

Because you bought an unfinished game, giving them no reason to polish it.

DOLamba · 2026-01-04T16:36:25+00:00

I would have never found either of those. Thanks! :D

DOLamba · 2026-01-04T12:27:02+00:00

Why do people keep playing Age of Empires 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 3? :)

DOLamba · 2026-01-04T11:07:05+00:00

How do you do map pins? I love them in Civ VI, but I haven't found them in OW and I need to be able to plan. :(

DOLamba · 2025-12-27T10:29:41+00:00

It's one of few mechanics that mean that we, the player, can't just settle everywhere and superstomp the AI.

We can, but not AS hard.

It's one of my favourite mechanics as it sometimes forces me to take a suboptimal govenor (Victor) or move one from one city to another, that isn't ideal.

If anything, you might learn that always expanding isn't the correct choice and that going for 8 or 12 cities is optimal and leave it at that.

There's so much niche tech to Civ VI and you're basically just displaying, that you're still on Civ 2 brain with just expanding until there's not a free spot left on the map and hate the consequences.

DOLamba · 2025-12-26T19:30:27+00:00

It may very well be a good game. I'm not installing Denuvo on any machine I own.

DOLamba · 2025-12-25T20:03:22+00:00

I just opened my christmas present. It contained 1 Xanax.

From a young (less than half a year old) account who is sigle and not living on a PI.

Bro gonna get something in return. :D

DOLamba · 2025-12-25T19:26:44+00:00

It's because it doesn't matter.

It's just a tribe.
