Should we start some community games? Either pick a setting and map seed and have everyone give their input or everyone post their own playthroughs like the civfanatics community games.

I'm down.

Is there a way find out the map seed of the game you're playing?

Yeah, I saw it over at civfanatics a while back. Check their forum for how to do their challenge/playalong games.

Sounds pretty fun. How'd it work, tho? I've never played a community game of CIV before. A set number of turns per player, with a written log?
Edit: In my mind, we'd have a save game that'd circulate as with the DF community game we had a few years back. Does that even work with CIV6? Is there a smarter, more awesome way to do things?

I really hope Firaxis buffs city states but at the same time allows to base aircraft and upgrade units in their territories if we are allies.
Would solve so many problems.

Hammers? You mean shields, right?

Completed my first game over the weekend (random Spain, Prince, 6 civs). I started about 5 games before this and kept rerolling within 100 turns because the early game feels very slow and unrewarding. With Spain, I stockpiled thousands upon thousands of Faith, switched to Theocracy, then bought a ton of Conquistadors and Infantry with Faith and dominated every other nation simultaneously.
I don't quite know what to make of Civ6. Maybe I haven't played long enough, but it didn't immediately grab me the way that Civ2 or Civ5 did. I'll try some more random games and see if my impression changes, but it felt like things went slowly. It's weird having games where, due to positional requirements, nobody builds the Colossus or other ancient/classical Wonders. I like that the leaders are a little more predictable in their behavior since you can immediately see their tendencies, agendas, likes, and dislikes.

That city tile breakdown is so hard to understand. I'm glad I started with Civ 2 though I don't remember what its city tab looked like either.

So once you discover the Satellite tech it doesn't reveal the entire map, is this a bug or am I missing something?

You need to actually launch a Satallite I think, not just research the tech.

Yeah just figured it out as I finished a Spaceport District and started building a satellite then got a great scientist, oddly enough Carl Sagan, and sent him to the Spaceport and finished the Satellite next turn.

Does anyone know what the actual differences are between "balanced" starting position and "standard?"
Also, crouching tigers suck.
Everyone starts in a similar position with what kind of resources are around them. So on balanced you might have at least 1 resource you can farm, 1 for a pasture, and something to mine. In standard, you might get stuck with 1 stone while the civ next to you gets two horses and cows.

I loved how the faces of the citizens would change based on era / happiness / specialization
