Loading takes upwards of 30 seconds even on an ssd :/
I've read people say it's better and people say it's worse. I have it on an SSD and the initial load when starting the game took a while (a minute or two?) but after that there hasn't been any loading.
I think the UI is pretty great in places, but I really wish I could scale the font since it's so tiny in parts.

People weren't kidding about the ui. I wonder how it looks in 4k and if you can enable the upscaling at that resolution. In case anyones wondering the game works at 21:9 resolution.

The loading feels faster to me than five, but I could be remembering how fast it was on my old laptop.

That's oddly opposite to my situation. I have a fairly low spec computer running this on minimum settings and the initial load is almost non-existent but to start or load a game can take a bit.
That just happened to me on turn 51.

Is it just me, or do barbarians start out strong really early on? My first barbarian encampment encounter had spearmen within the first ten turns or so, and suddenly I was being overwhelmed by barbarians on horseback within ten more.
Yeah if they spawn near a horse tile they can be a real bitch. And barbs are just stronger in general if you don't kill the scouts and let them prepare an invasion force.
Your warrior should be as strong or stronger than a spearman though, especially if you take the +5 against barbs civic and/or promote him once. Warrior class units get a combat bonus against anti-cav units like spearman.

Ahahaha Roosevelt just declared war on me, I'm America...
Warriors get a bonus against spearmen and they get Riders if they have their camp next to horses.
it seems the AI players tend to build lots of military units very early in the game. Took me a moment before I realized that warriors and slingers have no upkeep cost
(actually, that might have been because I used the -1g upkeep policy, I need to check again)

I need to know this too, I don't know how the happiness system works in Civ 6 but I guess housing is part of it

It should run pretty well in medium to high on non Retina graphics modes (1650x1050).

By long loading do you mean loading into a saved game? What are the times between turns looking like?
Turn 200 prince is about 15-20 seconds between turns with the slow animated movement on. I haven't tried turning it off yet. I have a i5-3570K CPU.
Founding the actual city I don't think has penalties as all the happiness is local. It does become harder to have enough luxuries to go around and keep them happy though. It's really the production cost increase every time you build a new settler and every time you build a new district that adds up.
I believe the new system is that it ramps up production if they spot you city so if you see a scout, make sure you kill it before it gets back to camp and "notifies" the others.
Oh, setllers scale in cost? I did not noticed that.

Man, every time a new CIV comes out is the same ritual of re-doing my first 50 turns or so until I get comfortable. lol.
Right now, my opening is a scout -> builder -> Settler -> Slinger. Also, for staying alive purposes, a ranged unit on each city + 3 melee. Still have no idea of what is a good agressive force, but for purposes of keeping the AI from smelling blood in the water, this seems to work.
playing as russia and met teddy and cleopatra, cleo hated me because of my weak army and teddy was all buddy buddy, but then he declared a surprise war on me for some reason so I fought back and took his city closest to me and then he begged me to stop but I was pissed it was a surprise war so I hunkered down and took washington...
what a jerk

You have to click on them, and then instead of moving them, you can see the bar underneath their status.
Oh damn, was looking all over and I couldn't find it, that bar is tiny and really out of the way! Could really do with being larger or better placed.

Is the list of leaders in the OP everyone at launch? Or any extra surprises?
That is the launch lineup. 19 Civs and 20 leaders.

Thanks
Still hoping for Persia at some point. Cyrus vs Tomyris would be amazing to RP.
As you might expect it animates day and night, the water looks really nice during sunset

Shitttt I was really hoping this came with better UI scaling at higher resolutions. Sitting on a couch with a 4K tv, probably boned.
Yeah even 1080p is unplayable on my 42".
I dropped it down to 720p and it's playable but looks like garbage.

Barbarians are annoying. Chasing around a scout, but I gave up because he just kept running away when you got near. Few turns later it kills my trader...
Finally about to win my first king game.
The loading is longer than civ 5.
I don't know when but after awhile barbarians become rare, not much change in civ land acquisition, they just became docile? I see alot of stolen builders but no camps or units lol....
I like how the AI will tell u that you are about to win so they have no choice but to attack you. How sweet of them.

Yea I hate that. I always keep guards next the perimeter of my cities now just in case.
EDIT: speak of the devil...
Im chasing a scout right now. He is hauling ass! He is running through forests and hills but im gonna chase him to the coast where I know he cant swim.
Im gonna light his ass up.
