Can you shut off AI personalities? I seem to remember there being an option for that in Civ V (I could be wrong), but I could imagine getting bored with the AI if you always generally know how they'll react.
Also, any solid deals out there? GMG's price has actually gone up since launch.

If it's a tile improvement just move a builder there and repair it. Doesn't use a charge. If it's a district then you'll need to rebuild it from the city production menu for some portion of the normal cost.
Along with their preset agendas they have random ones each game

That was only added in Civ V via expansion iirc
AI have one obvious agenda/behavior and one random agenda

The thing about Barbarians is that if they DO pick up on you, they send those ridiculous early game cavalry parties. 2 melee cavs and a ranged cav by turn 30 will generally fuck my game up.
I guess it makes sense, Europe, Asia, and Africa are all viewed as different continents despite being part of the same landmass. Ditto North and South America.

I hope they bring it back. The personality idea always struck me as interesting, but I also don't love the idea of thinking, "Oh, well I'm next to X, so I better start doing Y." Then again, given that personality traits and goals aren't exactly communicated well to the player, maybe it's better if you do have an idea of what they'll do. Hard to say.
Just World Congress - but even then the whole system of policies has been changed up with new mechanics also added
As they get more civs and leaders into the game I actually think it will stay pretty fresh as they play off one another. Like right now if you spawn next to Spain and Kongo you're stuck with some decision making on who you're going to piss off or ally with as you almost certainly can't be very friendly with both. But yeah, I could see at least a mod coming out that removes the preset agenda and just let's the random one dictate things.

Anyone figured out what naval units can cross oceans?

I played through the tutorial earlier. Definitely a better tutorial than Civ V. I'm looking forward to starting up a game later. Glad I decided to just grab this and shelve Civ V that I bought cheap a while back. With the added polish and bells and whistles, this is just a better game to learn the ropes of the series/genre with IMO.
I have no idea how districts work but I'm just rolling with it. I'm the egyptians, on prince difficulty, and mostly concentrating on trade routes (so much damn money). Doing okay so far, seems I lead the world in points. Was a little touchy for a bit when Germany got upset I was too close and decided to start shit he couldn't finish. First time I just deflected the attack and accepted him when he came grovelling back. The second time he did it I took his capital city before I accepted his peace negotiations. I thought that'd be the end of it, but nope hasn't taken long and he's already starting to poke the beehive again.

Yep, I only have two complaints so far and they are both minor: loading times are longer, and yes some AI wonkiness. But at the same time the AI seems improved and has more personality now too, so lol.
Overall, Civ 6 seems wonderful to me and I'm loving it so far. I'll probably be un-installing Civ 5 this weekend honestly.

sucks that you have to rely on civilopedia to get most on what the district adjacency bonuses are, though the universal rule seems to be districts beside each other = +1 bonus

Got the soundtrack loaded on my phone. I've spent the workday listening to it.
Absolutely perfect. It's taken the edge off of my day and made Friday a day worth living.
The Chinese tracks are splendid. They did an amazing job.

I did quickplay for about 30 turns last night.
Gilgamesh's capital was right next to me. He seemed so happy. He gave me gifts to be in my capital right off the bat. He was extremely appreciative of me wiping out our barbarian problem.
Then I noticed a war cart. "Oh, I'm sure its just wiping out that barbarian scout", I thought. Next turn there were three carts. "He couldn't possibly be attacking this early, could he?"
Yup. I was dead before I knew it. He doesn't mess around with war carts. Shortest game of Civ ever for me.

Aren't all of them listed on the district tool tip in the production menu? Are there some missing from that?

I played for seven hours straight last night and didn't get a single crash. I didn't even get any slowdown, the game ran rock solid for me.

The missionaries ignore borders anyway, so canceling an Open Borders policy wouldn't do anything to stem the spread of religion.

Other than the AI being wonky (they'll definitely take another pass at it within the first month of release) I really have no complaints about this game. I'll write up some thoughts when I get some turns under my belt but so far I'm pretty thrilled.

Might be a bug because this happened to me a couple times as well (also as America). When another Civ declared war on me I got the leader animation for both their civ and mine.
As I said above, the context makes no sense for that to be the case. There are plenty of other examples throughout. Just seems like they got lazy in proof reading

Civ is multiplayer focused if you have like minded friends.
So, previews are good, available reviews are good, and Neogaf hivemind's opinion of the game is good (albeit with a few objections here and there regarding some mecanics and the AI, which is either cunning and surprisingly aggressive, or unable to win a conquest game; may need to check if the AI behaves differently on some difficulty levels or if it is the same old "the AI gets bigger bonuses as the difficulty level rises" deal).
Well, "all systems are go" it seems. I will probably buy it sooner than I expected. No reason to doubt the team so far.

And here I'am with Gears4 on top of all this, wondering what should I call my situation
I was playing with Brazil last night... I stopped playing only for hear that music. It is really great.

I haven't heard every Civ's track and variation thereof yet, but from I've already heard, I'm willing to say that it can legitimately be argued that Civ VI has the Greatest Off All Time video game soundtrack, even if (or perhaps partly as a result because of) most of the tracks are adapted instead of being wholly original.
And beyond even video games, it could also be argued that the instrumental adaptations of usually sung classics such as Hard Times Come Again No More and Scarborough Fair are the best ever instrumental versions of these classics anywhere. Challenge yourself on this and go to YouTube or Apple Music or Spotify or wherever. Just try and find an instrumental version of Hard Times Come Again No More - and if you manage to do that, find a version that's even half as good as any of the multiple variances of that track found in any era in Civ VI. Even the Ancient Era version has two equally great variances, a banjo and then also a violin version of the track.
The only criticism I have of the music in Civ VI is when the track cuts and resumes depending on certain events, like a random leader wishing to tell you that he thinks your flower garden is pretty or something. But the music itself deserves its own thread as it just might be the benchmark of adapted soundtracks in just about any entertainment media.
Yeah. I see the resolution but selecting it does not work. It's resetting to my native resolution every time.
Guessing you don't know much about continents. Europe, Asia and Africa are all continents yet are joined together
I just bought this off GMG and was in the same position as you, but then I saw this:
Ah, installed now. Bye bye.
Also this is second thread I posted I bought this so I am validating this purchase as fuck.

Yeah, the music is really, really good. I'm sitting here at work today humming the American theme to myself, lol.
i feel like i am working in a pool of molasses
Not sure exactly how the tutorial flows so their might be some weird limitation in place, but in general you can just build it from your city any time after you've unlocked the tech. Only limitation is that it can't be adjacent to your city.
Curious if anyone's figured out how the diplomacy penalties are handled in this game? In Civ V, you would still get major warmongering penalties in situations where you were defending yourself or if you came to the defense of a weaker civ.
I played about 7 hours straight with zero crashes, but some people reported them.
There is no production queue anymore. If you switch anything out, your progress is simply saved on whatever you switched. I think this means you can effectively "pause" production of things 1 turn before they would be done, and then drop them quickly later.

Can someone explain districts to me? How are they used and do they have their menu option?
