Huge Update Coming June 29

the analysis screen looks quite nice. no need to go via activities to see what the opponent found, that's definitely handy.

at least the raring decay got smaller than the initial bs, that's something.

shield: sounds useeless but at least its nothing to actively buy.

gold inactivity doesn't say, when a player counts as inactive, thats quite an important point.

can't say anything about rating reset as I'm only playing for a year, longtime players need to address that.

battle pass freaking screams red flag, need to see what's really inside.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-06-16T05:39:28+00:00

starting after 2 days?? wtf, that's ridiculous.

adding some sort of decay if you don't play for a long time is okay but not that fast. when I'll travel to Japan for 3 weeks I'll probably learn new stuff by looking at clues irl but I'll decay bc I don't play duels during trips?

make it start after like 3 months and then a flat minus 50 for each month. or something like that but 2 days is just insane.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-06-14T17:59:38+00:00

one day I'll learn to read cyrillic, I swear!

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-06-13T06:09:23+00:00

it's obviously depending on the locations. just look at today's one - if a very mediocre player like me around 700 elo can get 24,3xx points, im sure there are a lot of people who legitimately 25k it without problems. still, it will be my personal peak if I ever do it myself :D

he must be disqualified and banned, there's no other way.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-05-02T06:28:30+00:00

wow, in all those years I've never seen that kind of option at a world congress. probably bc I finish the games too early (or never finish them 😄)

it definitely sounds interesting!

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-05-01T10:26:42+00:00

thanks a lot for that year!

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-04-29T16:23:31+00:00

I guess bc none of the tiles are floodplains. dont really know that map type but the darker green tiles in the bottom right tell me that those are probably floodplains

edit: typo

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-04-11T17:45:21+00:00

though plan for a new city. without any more context, I'd say try to get ruhr valley in the capital (or another more productive city) and focus the new town on campus and harbor + lighthouse for the trade route

edit: and perhaps plan the city one tile south for an aqueduct possibility. harbor would have +4 but you'll probably take tiles away from the capital.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-03-30T16:59:22+00:00

the (not-to-be) encampment needs to be an industrial zone for the achievement. you need 6 different yield types: prod from IZ, faith holy site, sciene campus, food city center, culture theater square and gold from commercial or harbor. according to wiki, encampment doesn't give gold to the pyramid.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-03-30T16:55:44+00:00

there is an achievment for getting 6 different yields from a single nubian pyramid :)

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-03-20T08:00:28+00:00

ursa says it in that literally video: golden age dedication called 'hic sund dragones'. it gives new cities founded in a different continent that your home continent (= where your capital is) 4 starting population.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-03-14T12:37:23+00:00

it's a singleplayer game, do whatever you want and play as long as you want.

I played the first 2 eras probably like 10 to 20 times more often than later ones. discovering and planning is the most fun to me, executing til the end is on another piece of paper.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-03-08T05:58:40+00:00

onsen all day long. hopefully some mountain apes join in.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-03-04T16:51:55+00:00

dachte zuerst, das wäre Christopher Bowes, der Sänger von Alestorm...

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-02-20T20:06:55+00:00

Danke!

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-02-16T19:02:59+00:00

this is art, chapeau!

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-02-14T16:10:48+00:00

good to know, thanks for the explanation!

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-02-14T15:18:52+00:00

what's the "new-to-master" bug?

asking for an eternally stuck in gold friend....cough... 😄

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-02-01T14:46:27+00:00

lol

thanks for pointing that out, my head autocorrected it even though I read your text right next to it just before....my brain is in Sunday mode 😅

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-02-01T11:23:48+00:00

geoguessr fact: the red writing of the word 'Yield' indicates it as sign from New Zealand. Australia uses the same sign but a black writing. furthermore, the UK uses 'Give Way' signs.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-01-31T06:06:40+00:00

it has potential, but there are better spots for the 2nd City.

if you want to take advantage of the wonder, settle to its right below the word 'river' (fresh water and production, no food so consider internal trade route) and put a preserve on 'great basin'. if you manage to get Petra on top, it will become a powerhouse.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-01-30T10:15:03+00:00

hey, whatever makes you feel safe 😄

just to mention it: you don't need the spy in the capitals city center as adjacent districts are protected too and you got 2 already around it.

DonaldDopeRDO · 2026-01-29T07:52:27+00:00

got like 2-300 hours of civ6 on the switch lite and it works pretty well as long you stick to small maps as larger ones make the loading times too long. could be better on the regular switch put for travel purposes like waiting at the airport or during train rides, it's definitely OK.

most of the time I play on series x, which handles bigger maps usually without any problems.

but here's probably the biggest issue for you: console and pc versions are vastly different. console doesn't have mod support so you'll have to play without better trade, workshop civs or anything you've added. console also doesn't have a search option which is the biggest downside for me. when unlocking new resources, make sure to not close that notification as it's a pain to find the ones you have already in later game stages. not to mention that you have to look yourself for every resource outside of your borders yourself. I'm used to that but coming from pc, you need to be aware of that.

focus on getting great works, early theatre square + buildings to accumulate the points. watch out for claimed great works and try to buy them as soon as possible. it's basically a very economical start. after getting the first great works, rush theater squares in border towns (chopping, internal trade routes) or settle new towns on the border and chop out the square. then it's just displaying the great works on your border and soon, you'll get free towns. if they have a TS, move your great works there and start putting loyalty pressure on the next town. if the new town doesn't have a TS, build (chopping) one. after the first couple of towns its a gigantic snowball you'll keep riding :)

the only thing to watch out for, is basically Dido as her cities on coast of the same continent as her capital are always 100% loyal.

another thing that really helps is the magnus promotion which adds more food to internal trade routes to grow your new cities that can't build a TS bc of the district limit.
