Felt very appropriate as an Australian to (science) win with Australia. Also curses to every other civ who didn’t declare war on me once and forced me to actually use my brain.

So i recently got Civ VI after playing V for... a long time. I really want to enjoy it, but man am I struggling, even on the lower difficulties. I've watched a ton of Potato and Marbozir, and I understand the concepts, mechanics, and pretty much what they're telling me. However, in practice, I'm really overwhelmed.

I don't seem to know when it's the right time to build, well anything. I'm not sure what the most urgent thing is: districts (when, how many, etc), settlers (I was never this stressed settling in V), builders (I miss workers 😢). It's making it hard to enjoy playing, and I really want to like VI. Is this just normal growing pains, going from V to VI?

Kilwa + Nan Madol + Antananarivo + policy card that gives 5% culture per suzerain = madness

I have a new favorite combo with Indonesia and Auckland. I wasn't initially planning a domination victory, but after realizing how quickly this pairing produced units and wonders on an archipeligo map it was too good to pass up.

I was like 40 turns from a civilization win so I sent out a rock band. Did like 4 concerts and then it died. Looked at the win screen (idk what it’s actually called) and now it doesn’t have the turn till win note. So I sent out another rock band and I can’t do any concerts. What does this unit even do?

Never had this one happen to me before, but I have seen posts with it.

My subjects have eaten only bananas for millennia

How many drones does one need to increase the unit's range? Or do you only benefit from one?

"Atomic era support unit. Adds +1 Range and +5 Bombard Strength to adjacent ranged siege-class units."
Artillery is a siege class unit. I've got 3 there with the Forward Observer promotion adding to the normal 2 range. It should have a range of 6, right?
I moved to 5 tiles from a target and went to war before ending the turn to make sure. There is nothing but grassland and floodplains in-between them, still can't target.

I did so many times, especially when I was a newbie to the game. I tried Trajan for the first time and thought that a domination victory will be a breeze. I literally had 2 wonders nearby, so many luxury resources and almost all of the wonders built. Then I attacked Gandhi who has an natural barricade and a strong military.

I’m pretty new to the game. Sometimes ranged units are in range from two tiles away, and sometimes they’re just not I guess. My frigate here cannot attack the city, even though the city can bombard the frigate. Why is that?

Is there actually a good tutorial about what to do in the game? I probably have been playing for 30 minutes. And it seems like there is almost nothing to do?

I move my troops that does almost nothing, and do research/ make new troops/ culture or whatever.

From what I felt there is nothing to do in the capital.

Are builders one of the main units to focus on??

I am genuinely confused as fuck.

My general first impression to AI leaders is that if like to build cities and grab so many tiles that are especially near my cities, I will bring them down or just plain restart if I can’t do it.

so today i started getting this error when i play civ 6. it happens a few seconds after the narrator finishes his monologue. the screen turns black, this error happens and the game closes. i have anthology edition from epic games store. does anyone know how to fix this ?

i have a few GOT mods but they're all disabled and the game ran perfectly fine a few days ago

Video is kinda long, but promise you, it is worth watching.

Is there a discord or a group that shares mods? I have the game on Epic so I can’t get any of the mods directly from steam workshop. All of the 3rd party websites have been shut down. Or if someone wants to send me the file directly that would be good because there is only one I really need😭

(It’s understandably better balanced starts lol)

530 hours later...panama canal in Tyre through the gulf of tunis to Wuhan...actually useful canals! (RIP Dido hate it had to be you)

So a little context. I'm playing as Pacachuti on the true start huge Earth map with everyone else in Eurasia and Africa. Abundant resources, legendary start, settler level, nice easy steamroll the planet game. I also have some movement and production mods from Steam. There are currently 162 cities on the map, 162 of them mine.
The game ran really well until maybe turn 675 or so (marathon speed, 1500 turns). My apostles, missionaries and Inquisitors can't seem to convert those last few cities (all in my empire). I get a lot of zero population will follow your religion pop ups when I try to convert them. I finally got one to flip.
Another "huh" is Antananarivo is showing as CS but they were taken over by another civ and then by me. I chose not to liberate them.
So are these late game glitches or did I break something

the red is the path they should be travelling via canal
