This couldn't wait like one more day to fill up?

I don't want to miss it, so I am hardcore lurking while I take care of the personal issue I dropped out of all my games for.

Because of this game coming up. I picked up Civ VI again this morning... Have to say, Civ VI is a huge improvement on Civ V when it comes down to it.

You can play as the best American President in Civ VI.

Lincoln? Roosevelt? FDR?
Roosevelt. I feel like good old Teddy is actually portrayed in the game as less of a badass than he was in real life, but that's more because there is no way that any portrayal that is not just a biography of Teddy Roosevelt will come short

We’re working on the game fam! Sit tight.
I would not object to either of them. I'd actually be very excited if Civ VI had it's next expansion just be alternate leaders for like $30.

Getting Napoleon back in France as an option would be great too

Actually, I'd agree on you. Trajan seemed like such a strange choice for Civ VI, especially.

Personally, though, the best civ to be denounced by in Civ VI is Australia. Because John Curtin throwing his hat is just great.

Venmar has broken a promise to you by not getting out roles by late afternoon.


I may be bored doing discovery demands at work, and really want to start this game or go home and play Civ VI... Maybe.

HAHA!

I kinda skimmed his wiki page yesterday. And it was saying that some modern historians question the reliability of the negative sources on Nero. And it was also saying that Nero was popular among the commoners.
Modern politicians don't have anything on the politicians of the Ancient Age. They would do anything to discredit an opponent, and when they could not discredit, they murdered.

I may have started that game on Saturday night, and tried to finish it this morning before work when I went to bed needing 3 tourists to win.

I left for work needing two tourists to win.

I tend to slot that early wildcard for Great Scientist Points.
It helps to get to certain benchmarks, such as Printing, Flight, Radio, and Computers.
Computers usually is the nail in the coffin that seals a culture victory. I've never gotten a Culture victory before researching Computers, but I usually play against at least 3 opponents.
Computers were pretty much the last research I did.

I distinctly remember starting off with a bunch of campuses, then going on autopilot a bit, then all of a sudden I was being told that I was nearing a cultural victory. 2 hours later, I won a cultural victory.

Just rush out Mont St. Michel to guarantee every Apostle you make has Martyr, set up Reliquaries for triple tourism and faith yields on relics, and build M'banza and Theatre Squares until you've filled all your possible relic spots.
This is how I try to do it but I find players don't want to kill my apostles...
I'd kill your apostles, buddy.

Actually, one of my favorite AI exploits is still parking troops on their borders as Australia so that they will declare war.

I hate barbarians, they always take my trade routes after I forget to protect them. I could look inside for the fault, but clearly it's because of the barbarians.

I just lost one when sending it from my city to the Kongo, there were 4 tiles between our cities. I thought it would be safe.
