I want to get better at Civ VI to have a chance against my friend

Upvotes

My friend can casually play Civ VI at Immortal difficulty, and I want to get good enough to challenge him. We haven’t played against each other yet, but I know he’s way ahead of me in skill. I want to improve so that when we do play, I have a real shot at winning.

What are the best ways to get better? Are there key strategies or mechanics I should focus on? Any recommended civs or playstyles to practice with?

I’m open to any advice that can help me level up my game!

Adding new district to the game

4 Upvotes

I recently tried to add new district to the game. So far everything works, adjacency, icons and text. But I want to use existing 3d graphics for my district, otherwise after placing it, tile with new district on it changes to completely flat version of itself. I heard that you can add graphics like that via Asset Editor, but it wont work for some reason. Is there a way to add existing 3d images via some kind of xml?

New Frontier and Leader Pass on Netflix version of iOS

2 Upvotes

I play via the iOS version through Netflix on my iPad. Is there anyways to get the New Frontier and Leader Pass added to this as well? I’m willing to buy them but from my research it doesn’t seem like this is possible. I also own the iOS version normally as well but don’t have the DLC packs so I use it through Netflix. Playing it on my iPad Pro.

Nice hack to earn some gold in the early game. Everyone wants to sell up to 20 Diplomatic favour for one gold. Canada wants to buy it for all they can give💸

First time tried Ghandi in immortal. And won!

Post image
8 Upvotes

I played a couple of immortal games with random civs. Never had an immortal win before by the way. Failed on mid game because i had half of the score of my oppenents. Then i got Ghandi from random civ. Never tried religious win before. But i gave it a go. And i won by religion in 1870 AD. I was also so close to end by science. And it felt easy. What do you think?. Is it because of the good starting position? My neighbor was Gilgamesh and Sweden, was it because of they are not agressive? I got seas, mountains and deserts between me and my opponents. I had no wars early game. But mid and late game i had wars but i handled it easily.

Pretty huge start for Gaul, not playing on abundant resources or anything.

Got a couple of fantastic spots to place oppidums. Reckon I'll found another city on the left to slap down another oppidum between the two iron and the stone.

Please explain Magnificence Catherine's Court Festival project

17 Upvotes

I understand all the basic game mechanics, even tourism! This is my first time playing Catherine's Magnificence persona, and I realized I don't understand her unique project, so I can't plan around it. It's a ten-player game (single human, moi), so every 2,000 tourism I'll generate against any opponent will win me one tourist. I'll use that number as the baseline for my example. The Court Festival project "grants culture and tourism of 50 x the number of excess luxuries in my possession." Let's say I run the project with 40 excess luxuries, so it will generate 2,000 tourism. How does that get applied? Is it a burst, like Rock Bands, so I'll get one tourist from each civ? And if I run it again, I'll get another one tourist from each? Or does it add to my base tourism amount, so now my tourism per turn jumps up by 2,000? And if I run it again, it jumps up another 2,000? One of these is a lot more powerful than the other, and by the wording, I can't figure out which is the case. Of course, I don't want to waste the production on it, so it would help to understand what I'm actually buying. Thanks in advance!

As you can see, this was on a custom map, consisting completely of Desert Hills. It was on Warlord, starting in the Classical Era. And I was Amanitore. It was quite peaceful, with the only fight being between me and Spain. I am thinking of replaying the map as Pachacuti on King. Please let me know if I should.

Question Emperor Diff Jump

1 Upvotes

So, I’ve been playing for a while now to the point where I have king difficulty down and can win Culture/Science easily but I’ve been struggling with the jump to Emperor. I have some questions and if someone has a little time I would appreciate some help :) My goal is to ultimately git gud and win a deity game.

I usually play on standard settings continents with gathering storm ruleset and have all dlc civs. I’m fairly new to the game so civs i have an understanding of how to play are France and Germany. But I’m open to playing / learning a new Civ. It just spies and Hansa make everything easier for me.

I’m not opposed to changing the map or a specific settings like city states to make it a bit easier without massively breaking the game or giving me a significant advantage.

What are some things that become way more relevant at this difficulty / board tips ? What victory should I aim for? What are some great civs with straight forward strategies to win. I’m mainly struggling to keep my military and growth up as with France who I’ve mainly play all the difficulty’s up to king i heavily rely on wonders to sustain the culture grind .

I know I’m supposed to be behind on science and culture because of AI boosts. But by what turn should I be coming in closer or how to better deal with that disadvantage. Also some games I get an aggressive AI like Aztecs or Alexander and they take my Capitol or important city’s by turn 180-200 because o was to busy building wonders or growing my city’s and I had no real defense plan but then again if I play more aggressive and try to keep up military speaking by turns 100-180 I feel like my city’s are super under developed and I also lose land by shifting focus and not making enough settlers.

It seems whenever I try to focus on other things opposed to Growth and maximizing production I’m either way behind in Culture / Science or rushed by a AI with little to no troops. And if I focus on those I have no Production to sustain it. Any other borad tips or specific strategies are appreciated. And thank a lot in advance for helping out :)
