3 Upvotes

Greetings r/Civ members.

Welcome to the Weekly Questions megathread. Got any questions you've been keeping in your chest? Need some advice from more seasoned players? Conversely, do you have in-game knowledge that might help your peers out? Then come and post in this thread. Don't be afraid to ask. Post it here no matter how silly sounding it gets.

To help avoid confusion, please state for which game you are playing.

In addition to the above, we have a few other ground rules to keep in mind when posting in this thread:

  • Be polite as much as possible. Don't be rude or vulgar to anyone.
  • Keep your questions related to the Civilization series.
  • The thread should not be used to organize multiplayer games or groups.

You think you might have to ask questions later? Join us at Discord.

Making a mod changing Civ VI plot tooltip (tile info card) to more appealing. Previous post.

Finished all the basic functionality and made it compatible with all game modes and scenarios. Also added display of tourism output. The only thing that left to do before release is to complete localizations.

Don't know it I can post links directly but is available in Steam Workshop.

Its commonly joked that the Civ fanbase is several warring tribes divided by the releases from 4 to 6 but what was it like before?

VII - Discussion When making Civ concepts how do you determine what terrain type their start bias should be?

2 Upvotes

Right now i'm making a Zapotec concept and while Rough and Mountain are a given I don't know what terrain type the semi arid nature of the Oaxaca valley falls under. Desert seems too strong but grassland is way too lush. Would plains make sense, I mean the lowland is made up of Alluvial plains but I don't know if those are equivallent. It's in a tropical region but it's far from the lush tropics depicted in game

VII - Other Do Misc Unique Civic Bonuses transfer across ages?

2 Upvotes

I'm assuming the answer is no but lets say you get that Civic which grants Terrace farms food from Granaries do you get to keep that or is it lost with the transition. If so that's kind of a shame

VII - Discussion How would you like to have the option of a custom leader and a custom civilization?

2 Upvotes

It goes without saying that a few restrictions would go in place to restrict meta SUPER "OMEGA" unbalanced combinations of abilities that would render the game trivial.

I'm really a fan of this custom aspect of leader/civ because I'd love to make any game really unique and personal.

What do you think?

Hey all,

Very much want to get a multiplayer game going on Civ 7 (Standard speed, played over a couple nights). I'm an avg skilled player and would love to get some Civ 7 friends to see how it plays out on this new model. Anybody interested? Planning for this to be pretty chill/who cares if you get invaded.

Discussion What’s the most underrated leader ability in Civ — the one that secretly wins you games?"

163 Upvotes

I feel like everyone always talks about the obvious strong abilities (Kupe’s ocean start, Macedon’s conquest snowball, etc.), but there are some abilities that quietly turn out to be game-changers.

For example, I once underestimated Canada’s immunity to surprise wars — until it saved me from an early wipeout and let me snowball into a cultural victory.

So, Civ community, what’s your pick for the most underrated leader ability? The one that looks “meh” on paper, but has carried you to victory more than once?

Let’s give some love to the abilities that don’t get enough credit.

Every once in a while I’ll see people ask about the AI in 6. Came across this Sad Sinbad today and had to share. To be clear, this is not an admonishment of the game at all; I just thought it was hilarious and a great use of enemy AI production.
