I must be the only person who liked Beyond Earth, the rising tide expansion made it a good deal better. They fixed up diplomacy a bit and made hybrid affinity styles really good. Although I will say it's definitely lacking in some ways and still has it's problems. Another expansion and it could be as good as civ 5, but probably not as good as alpha centauri which is it's true predecessor. They just need to make the factions more unique, make it so the city state things actually have a purpose, and revamp the unit upgrade system to smooth progession out, maybe add a few units and biomes.

Well I've played every civ game since civ 2, not gonna miss this one even if the reviews are awful.

I also liked Beyond Earth. Yes the game has it problems for sure, but as a whole I still think it is a good game after the expansion.

I also liked Beyond Earth. A new expansion with some more factions and that gave every faction some more "soul"/personality, it would become really really good!

Well, the fact many people don't know about her is one more reason to have her as a leader (at least you learn something playing the game..?)

I think it's more interesting to have Medicis than Napoleon or Louis XIV for the 6th time. Maybe the rational is also that France was a very interesting nation in the XVIth century, and that having a queen as a leader (and a fairly evil one with that) is cooler than having François 1er or Henry IV.

the biggest problem of Beyond Earth was that it felt really lacking compared to Civ5, which should not be a problem if BE would have been a budget side game to keep revenue flowing.

At that price, there wasnt much over Civ5 to justify the price

France has never been very Queen-friendly, though, and thus has no memorable queens... (by memorable I mean the likes of Queen Victoria or Elizabeth I)

France does have an interesting habit of importing leaders. Charlamagne (who I'd love to see as a Civ leader) is more or less German, our new Civ queen was Italian, and Napoleon came from a shitty little island.

But yeah, I think sometimes they're going for difference from other civ games instead of being true to the nature of the Civ. Civ bonuses are ok + Show Spoiler +
except England, which is meh, and US, which is weird. look I'll do the US: Immigration: Trade routes to other civs provide cities with growth and culture. Bam! I've actually said something important about the character of America, which would give it a unique playstyle...
, but leader bonuses are all over the place. Which might be more ok if they end up with 2 leaders per civ, one "traditional" that generally matches that Civ and one "specialized" which gives you a unique take, like Catherine de Medici.

I'd also personally get rid of bonuses that are heavily dependent on starting terrain, as much as I love the flavor they provide. Norway is at least justifiable (though I think it could be reworded to be useful on Pangea), but Brazil's and Japan's seem limiting.

françois 1er would have made much more sense and he's by far not that used in any games, he's the perfect mix between a warleader and a man of culture like the way they want to show the country in CIV6

Considering the game is made in America by Americans, the devs have never given the US civ a good set of bonuses. It is always a middling to weak faction with weird bonuses. It seems like they are always giving bonuses based on an idealized time from before the US was truly powerful instead of giving traits that foreigners or even new immigrants would recognize as America.

When I started playing Civ 2, the series was about taking historically powerful civs that have made their mark in history and seeing what you could do with them. Today, the devs and many of the hardcore fans over at civfanatics prioritize being different from previous civ games. There's increasing demand to throw more obscure civs and obscure leaders into the mix.

Hmm it's true, in civ 5 I always liked to play as the Iroquois and imagine some idealized version of America instead of actually playing as America. Some of the American UU's have been pretty good though.

I think Roosevelt in Civ4 was pretty good, industrious and something else, Washington has always been mediocre. American UUs always come too late to matter. I think I've started modern wars maybe 5% of all my Civ 5 games.

That's true. In my warmonger games, I do most of my fighting in the medieval to industrial era, maybe spilling a bit into WW1 era. I only start fighting earlier than the medieval era if the UU is powerful enough. I'm not fond of airplane UUs either. So I do end up playing civs that have strong medieval to industrial era UUs.

Airplane UUs tend to suck, but my warmonger games do tend to draw out into the modern era (barring some ridiculous Ghengis conquest that just overruns everybody), so planes in general are pretty great

Ehhh I usually fight when I get composite bowmen and later on trebs, stop at Enlightment era or so. Some games are peaceful and I don't really need bash skulls in and can go full science.
But there are... sometimes these retarded AIs that think I am an easy target since I haven't upgraded my Crossbowmen into gatling guns before them. And they invade.
And I spend my money since I focused on getting a booming economy and science up. And I push them back. And I invade THEM. and I raze every fucking city to the ground. I pillage their lands and I exterminate the general populace.
And the other AIs denounce me and I have the warmonger debuff.
Then...
THEN
Then I decide the world needs to burn. I do not stop. Not once. Not ever. Not for anyone. The space ship parts turn into nuclear missiles, and UN votes can go fuck themselves.
I have turned into what they wanted to turn me in to.

The baths is an extra building in the aqueduct district, you can see the aqueduct behind the baths.
but in terms of gameplay it works as an aqueduct replacement.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.
