Does anybody on here play?
It's the only game I play now due to very limited gaming time and it's one I very much enjoy, and I feel this iteration of the game has been a tremendous success (although as ever there are improvements to be made).
However what I've really enjoyed is the way Firaxis have put so much time and energy into listening to the players via social media and the forums and putting in fixes and ideas that have been suggested by their userbase. And some of the improvements have been terrific.
The latest patch is going to see improvements to production and diplomacy which I massively welcome. I'm particularly pleased to see the lumber mill improvement can be made on jungle, which means I don't need to just chop them immediately. It also makes the likes of Brazil more playable. The diplomacy improvements should be a bonus and I suspect might have more impact for multiplayer than single player, but we'll see.
Really impressed with the game and the climate change addition has been excellent, and I love the fact that the newer civs have really changed the way you approach the game (Mansa Musa was a particular highlight).
Keen to know if anyone plays and what your thoughts have been on the game and the updates.

Can pause and pick up pretty easily as long as you aren't deep into a nuclear war.

It's not the nuclear war that doesn't last too long, it's the race to build wonders

Love it and loved all the updates. Not the biggest fan of loyalty though

Civilisation 2 could well be classed as mankinds greatest achievement to be honest.

Disagree - she adds an interesting mechanic to the whole thing.....still doesnt make it fun, and still lose the cities just as quick

I rarely lose cities to loyalty because I don't aggressively settle single cities close to other civs. If you want to settle aggressively then you need to plan it out and think about how you can improve the loyalty pressure from your own cities - settle two or three together and get your governors in there.
Or of course you can just go to war and take the enemy cities.
I always think a golden age early is a big help - it lets you spend your faith on settlers and can let you aggressively settle while allowing you to do other things with your cities - including preparing for war if necessary.

Civ 6 has changed the way that wonders are built, in that you can't just build wonder after wonder in the same city. You now have to choose a tile to place the wonder in (similar to a district) and you have to carefully decide which wonders you want to target to help you get to your victory condition, taking into account the conditions for building a wonder (does it need to be on marsh, on jungle, next to a specific district etc). It makes it more challenging, and whereas in previous iterations of the game I'd build loads of wonders, now I only build a small number through the game.
