Nice - Did it automatically plonk you in the UK as you chose England or was it a massive coincidence?

(Not played any DLC maps yet)

I need that map! That looks great. I imagine there are some distinct advantages and disadvantages though. Small islands would not be able to grow until you can put units on water which seems to take longer in Civ6. Large islands would be very protected especially early game. Small countries could be land locked and surrounded by other countries that want to invade.

It makes for some interesting gameplay. Lots of war like real life. At the moment in my game Germany has taken brussels and is moving on to france!

Here is part 4. Germany are on fire!

Part 5 is up. The game is quite slow later on especially with turn times on the bigger map.

Looks like this is confirmed for Linux/Steam OS now too, fantastic.

I could never get into these games for some reason, dont think i gave it the right amount of time or commitment.

Completed my first run through, I was on Warlord, going for a Science victory. Ran out of turns and came 3rd on points

Shame as I was smashing it on the Science - not sure I like the Score dynamic!

What speed does everyone play Civ 6 on? I'm currently playing my first game in Standard speed and for the first time ever I'm finding it incredibly slow to the point that it's boring. Nothing ever happens!

I always disable score victor condition as it annoyed me too much to be about to win by say, Science but I hit final turn and whoever had spammed the most wonders won.

I play on Quick. Not patient enough for anything else!

Soootylad · 10 Jan 2017 at 17:03

I played on standard, 22 hours my first go took me

speeduk · 11 Jan 2017 at 07:18

Well part 8 is here taking ages to finish this game

delta0 · 11 Jan 2017 at 08:19

Multiplayer, quick and standard are the speed settings I play.

This is currently on sale with 20% off. Currently on the steam store for £39.99.

Still too high for me to justify unfortunately but just a heads up.

After two months of the game I think it's a good development of civ franchise, just wish the Mac version wasn't so buggy! (lots and lots of OpenGL errors late game for me)

I just wish the AI was a little more coherent in it's aggression, nothing wrong with early wars but I'd like a proper challenge defending a city or a slightly higher probability of a late game war (there seems to be a reluctance to war late game or a serious shock if you retaliate to someone denouncing you)

Vimes · 10 Feb 2017 at 20:29

Do you get the same opportunity to play with mods when using the Mac version of the game, as the PC players use.?

pingwing · 13 Feb 2017 at 07:08

The DLC from steam is all ported, I haven't ventured into the home mods yet but in 5 they generally crossed over from what I remember (I go through phases on downloading mods and it's been a while)

For those who didn't realised it, CIV 6 removed Steamworks mod support. Something that was advertise since before the game was even released and during release!
