Civilization 6 *facepalm*
« on: February 11, 2023, 09:54:20 pm »

So after an embarrassingly long time having played Civ6, I just learned that there is a reports button at the top right of the screen that shows what amenities have been traded to and from your civilization.  I am wasting so much less gold now!

I usually disable all but domination victory, and try a marathon run at maximum AI players, but always seem to lag behind.  I'm trying to focus on the theatre square districts now with France to see how it goes.  But it does take some time.

I was quickly isolated by a city state's borders, and then Australia started settling the rest of my starting peninsula.  Then Māori landed and settled the last spot I was going for.  With sailing, I have a couple options, but none are great, so I'm hoping these 4 cities will grow strong enough to survive in the meanwhile.  The AI definitely has the advantage starting with 3 settlers.

At least now I can easily avoid trading for amenities I already have!

Why does your France look like Italy?

Luck of the draw I suppose.  I've at least been spared the usual barbarian assaults due to the wall of mountains to the North.  My scout however got stuck for about 100 turns unable to sail deep waters, with barbarian crossbowmen and cavalry guarding a couple tribal villages that lured me in.

Sounds like you'll have to go Full Roman and just rip the territory right out of your neighbor's hands.
