I played as Egypt on prince difficulty at standard speed (no DLCs). I could barely do it before turn 500 but i managed to capture the last capital i needed on the very last turn! (I was really stressing about it bc i thought the game ends at 500 turns and you cant continue playing lol but i still managed to do it just in time) 90 total cities btw

Mountains upon mountains

Post image
322 Upvotes

For the entire game, I've been trying to figure out how dense this mountainous area was that I got hit with, and finally got an aerial view. C'mon, man! I'm handicapped out of the gate trying to build cities with this obstacle! All this time, I was waiting for engineers to build tunnels so I could colonize the middle.

Is this beneficial in any way, or am I justified in being annoyed with the physical inability to grow my civ in that direction out of the gate for that many tiles?

I play as England and even though I've been literally dominating everyone in terms of culture and tourism I'm still losing to Russia for some reason. I've bought all of his art works and he's still ahead of me

Do you think having Babylon’s unique affect culture be a good idea for a civ?

21 Upvotes

For instance, -50% culture per turn but inspirations provide all the culture for a civic. Would that be a good idea for a civ play style? What civ do you think would have such ability?

I never realized how powerful Cree could be until I did this run with them. Few civs are more powerful economically. Huge growth, production and gold.

Cannot for the life of me figure this out. When I’m on the loyalty lens, if I click on the city banner it just goes to my interaction screen with that leader.

I like to play “pacifist” domination mode with Eleanor, relying exclusively on loyalty to win. Was able to dominate three civs in on turn through loyalty, for a total of 24 era points in one fell swoop. What are the odds!

Not sure why I enjoy this so much. Something is probably wrong with me.

Question Civ on iPhone

5 Upvotes

Hi all, hoping someone has a fix for me! Just started playing Civ6 and loving it. I have it installed on my iPad and iPhone and have just bought the platinum on Steam for my Mac. I have different games on each of them but would love to get my iPhone game on either the iPad or the mac.

Any advice??


r/CivVI • • 1d ago

Civ VI Platinum Edition is 90% off, but if you already own the game, you can't buy it. Steam and 2K just send you back and forth.

48 Upvotes

With the Civilization VI 10th anniversary sale, the Platinum Edition is discounted by 90%, making it a great deal for anyone looking to pick up the expansions and DLC.

There's just one ridiculous problem: if you already own the base game, Steam won't let you purchase it.

So apparently, supporting the game earlier means you're now locked out of a discount that's available to new customers.

I contacted both Steam and 2K Support to see if there was a way to upgrade.

Steam Support (October 24):

Because this bundle is a single-license package, you cannot purchase it if you already own any of its items.

Whether or not to ship an upgrade path is up to the publisher, not Valve. You may wish to reach out to the publisher's support team to make that request instead.

Fair enough. So I contacted 2K, since Steam explicitly said the publisher controls the upgrade path.

2K Support:

The Platinum Edition of the game is intended to come as a single-license package, meaning that if you own the Base game or any of the other contents included within then it means that it cannot be directly purchased on your account.

Because how bundles are handled and purchased is not handed directly from our end here at 2K Support, I'll be unable to offer any alternatives or workarounds.

I strongly recommend that you reach out to Steam Support for further assistance.

Seriously?

Steam tells me to contact 2K. 2K tells me to contact Steam. Neither offers a solution.

And here's what makes this particularly frustrating:

  • A brand-new customer can buy the Platinum Edition at the heavily discounted price.
  • An existing customer who already paid for the base game is blocked from purchasing the same package.
  • The suggested alternative is buying expansions separately or purchasing a different bundle, potentially at a significantly higher price.
  • Neither company's support team is willing or able to provide an upgrade path.

Steam already supports "Complete Your Collection" bundles that discount items you own. The Civ VI Anthology bundle uses this system, so the concept isn't exactly new.

I'm not asking for free DLC, special treatment, or even an additional discount for being an existing customer. I'd happily pay the same Platinum Edition price as someone purchasing the game for the first time.

It's absurd that owning part of a product makes you ineligible to purchase the rest at the advertised bundle price.

And apparently this isn't even a new issue. There are Reddit threads from years ago describing the same problem with Civ VI's Platinum Edition.

The game is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and somehow existing customers are still being punished for having bought it earlier.

2K/Firaxis: Please offer an actual upgrade path, or make the Platinum Edition a Complete Your Collection bundle.

Has anyone found a reliable solution that doesn't involve removing games from their Steam library or paying significantly more for DLC they could otherwise get through the Platinum Edition?

Best pc of civ 6

5 Upvotes

Trying to make play a score based victory game where you build a hundred cities, maybe more.

I’ve played on the Xbox series x, which is a super beefy machine but the game craps out at 50 cities

Also played on mobile and the game also craps out at about 50 cities.

I’m hoping/assuming I’m hitting city limits because of bad ports….if I get a legit gaming laptop would that solve the issue?

If I’m going to get a gaming laptop to play, what is an affordable laptop that won’t crap out on me?

Question Ai making giant death robots with no uranium?

17 Upvotes

Just moved up to king difficulty as prince was far to easy. All the AI has atleast 3 giant death robots with no uranium?

Poland was spawning fighter jets and bombers plus robots with no aluminium either?

Gilgabro is max alliance and everything so I see all the tiles. Bro has 0 uranium and 6 death robots?

I have checked world resources and only myself and 2 others have it and the others barely have any.

All civs are currently in normal age to so there's no golden age benefit card for uranium there either

What gives? Was enjoying the game so far and went to king to be more even but why are they getting free resources for?

Makes me want to just leave the game really instead of spending all my time going through eras and planning citys only for other civs to literally get free resources?

4 cities with 30+ population 🥳

Before this game I don’t think I had ever been able to get even one city above 30, I think the highest I did was late 20s. Then for some reason in this game with heavy use of fisheries/seasteds/offshore wind farms I was able to get multiple island-based cities to 30+ before it ended🥲 I didn’t really like playing as Sweden before but I think I finally got the hang of her
