Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It really isn't. Mechanically it holds a tonne of potential, but as off now unless you're playing without AI and only human players the diplomacy is actually horrendous. The AI is awful at war, tends to be somewhat irrational about everything and doesn't play the game well in any sense. Firaxis has been really lazy with it, and as off now modders haven't been given access to the required code to do something about like they did in civ V, which with mods is many times a better game than civ 6. It's even possible to play modded civ v in mutliplayer, and as a result of that I\ve not been able to get into civ VI as in comparison it is really lacking.

The districts system is beautiful, and the game has a lot of great ideas that as off now just aren't fleshed out well enough. My main gripe remains the AI however.

I mean, we're talking about multiplayer here so AI doesn't matter all that much there

I've probably commited myself to culture now, although thanks to being randomly assigned a Archipelago map I wasnt able to get cities out easily or in many good food spaces (masses of production though) got 3 now, plus married Wittenberg. America has grown exponentially more than me though... this could be my second loss on Prince (I always say I should buff up my diffuculty). China beat me once a couple years back, it's why I take them out almost every game Im in with them.
Had a joint war with America against Greece. They were stealing my city states. Liberated one city, razed the one America was trying to take. Worried this might be my first loss in a while. America is influential over 2 nations and ahead of me in science. I was turning it around in the last 20 turns, gaining 2 musicians, religiously buying 3 artists and 2 engineers - I may have forgotten about my religion a bit, getting the theming bonus and rushing Broadway/Eiffel Tower and am now building the Statue of Liberty (America didn't go freedom, so not so worried), so am ahead in tourism now whether it's too late?
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

Does anyone have any experience running civ6 on a laptop without a dedicated graphics card? Considering buying it to play on my new laptop, but concerned it may not work well.

> launches up a game of civ
> has to play vanilla because someone has 0 dlc (luv you Chevre <3)
> has an ok settling location
> moves the settler onto a hill so the settling location is better
> next thing you know you get teleported across the fucking map inbetween two city states (so you can't settle in your current location) AND you lose your warrior.

Yep
I think its time to learn Civ 6

edit: I'm not really complaining if anything I really love playing Civ and would be ok doing it vanilla its just I found it funny that I got teleported across the map :P
