Is there a big improvement over Civ 5?

I just resolved the issue by blocking Civ6 on the firewall. That worked for me. I think anyone with the issue should try both of these options.
Turning off windows defender fixes it. Hopefully there's nothing malicious within the game...

Yeah, same boat.
- All saves cause an endless loading screen
- Starting a new game causes an endless loading screen
- Civ 6 loading is shown as "Not Responding" according to Win10 Task Manager
If you have a dual screen setup, you can hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE to launch task manager and then (assuming you can't see it because Civ 6 is in fullscreen mode) hit windows key + right arrow to move it to your other monitor. I'm having mostly the same problem (stuck on loading forever) but at least Win10 Task Manager will tell you it's not responding.
Steam's verify integrity feature shows nothing wrong, so really only option left is to delete the game and reinstall.
EDIT: Windows Defender? Figures something in Windows could fuck it up.
To whitelist:
1. Windows Defender Settings
2. Scroll down the list to "Exclusions" > Add an Exclusion
3. Add the Civ 6 folder
That seems to work...
Yeah, this did it. Here's hoping.

Oh man... for the past couple of days, Defender has been using up a baffling amount of processing power. I figured it was just standard old PC fuckery, but if there's something up with Civ...

Thanks for the tip. I ran into the same issue.

It may sound silly but being able to name the cities was mine of my favourite aspects of Civ and always leads to some fun interactions in multiplayer (Such as having Indian curries and Chinese dishes competing for territory, heh).
Same here, won't load up my game.
Seems much more fresh and stable at launch. I remember when Civ5 came out it felt like it was missing half of the features. This one doesn't. I've already clocked 20 hours, but by civ standards that's not review worthy. I'm only going to play a few more games as I don't have the time to play these sorts of games that I used to.
The only instability where forever loadings but as I see above that's maybe a Defender issue.
Finished my second game just a few minutes ago.
Gorgo
King
Standard Map
Epic Time
Kind of went the same way as my first game. Focused on production/gold but also started out earlier with producing Culture, especially utilizing Gorgo's special trait. Almost immediately went to war with Norway because they were too close to me. Took out their three cities, razed two, and had about 4 of my own at that point. Wasn't going to expand beyond 5 cities, but then Saladin went and settled a city right on my border between two of my cities and so I bulked up and went to war with shortly after. He was leading at that point, but I just chipped away at him for a long time. Returned two cities he had taken from England, freed a city state and took his capital. After that he surrendered and for shits and giggles I tried to get 3 of his 4 remaining cities and he gave them to me. That was unexpected, but great. His capitol had like 5 wonders.
After that Spain got froggy, but he was across the sea save for one tiny nothing city, so it wasn't much of a war. After repelling an invasion force, Conquistadors are tough, I razed the small city nearby and he settled for peace a few turns after that.
By that point I was rolling in gold, pumping out Great People every other turn it felt and had already completed the Civ tree. Loaded up on art and completed two Archaeology museums and just sat back waiting for the win. Everyone else was so far behind, there were a lot of major battles early on in the game and only 5 of the civs remained and were all pretty beat up. It was only like turn 380 something I think around the 1800s or so when the game ended.
Definitely need to go up a difficulty I think and try for a different victory. Think I'll go science next and maybe religion or conquest after that. Really enjoying things.

Oh man, I wish I had known this like six hours ago. Ah well, time for bed and back to work tomorrow. Bummer this happened on release weekend.

I just assumed it would be added in later with a patch. So it's not a planned thing? That's a bummer.

Yep, putting an exclusion into Windows Defender did the trick. I wonder why it worked fine for two days but then stopped today right around 7 PM? Seems like it stopped for LOTS of people right around that time too. Very odd, but it's working good as new again, thanks!

Wow, Scythia has a nice perk to go with the double light cavalry stuff.
If you're not having wars and/or have some decent production, build the Shaka Horse Archer. Then sell the spare. They easily give you 70+ Gold back.

Is the AI on immortal having amenities issues? lol.
yeah even in Civ V AI have trouble with happiness even with bonuses lol
In this case seems like AI forgets to build entertainment district
Kinda new to Civ, played a bit of Civ5 but not a lot, quick question. What is the best course of action when the AI(playing on king) is starting to stack up troops outside your borders? Like they literally had a batterram outside my front door. Do you declare war and push the away or just hunker down, build troops and wait for them to declare first? Also what do I get out of having an alliance, I have 1 ally but he doesn't seem to come to my aid or anything when i'm getting sieged.
The penalties for declaring war are ridiculous and need to be toned down. You are best just waiting for them to attack as its inevitable if they are acting like that. Taking the warmongering penalty yourself will poison relations with other civs for a good bit. Best course of action is to start building walls and and troops in preparation. Let them declare war and then take as many cities as you want as well as any city states they bring into the war.
As far as allies they are pretty useless right now as the AI doesn't do a good job of fighting wars. Best case scenario is their troops or their cities draw attention away from you. They aren't going to swoop in and help you in your own territory.

We can name units (something I've wanted for awhile) but not cities now. Why.
WHY!?

this happened to me with japan up until I had musketmen, there were still warriors on my border

|OT2| title sorted then
Damn, I misread and thought religious victory only requires more than half of the civs to follow yours. And I thought I could totally ignore the other half of the map I've never set foot on. Have to do finish this later then.
It's funny to me that Rome had multiple barb rebellions within their territory and it's even spilling over to my cities. And also that Spain is super annoying with their apostles. I have to hide my own apostles behind my military units so they don't get picked off inside my own territory.
Religious combat is pretty fun. I like the additions to the religious system and that your apostles can get pretty interesting random promotions.
http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Apostle_(Civ6)
Edit: Thinking about it, there's no way I'm going to convert Spain to Islam without going into war. How's that for historical realism eh.
With a few games under my belt, I think they really need to rebalance science and production numbers. Science is going too fast right now, and production gets pretty ridiculous after the first few turns. I can pretty much go through the entire tech tree before I have enough production to make whatever I need, and it's normally faster to just research the entire tech than to wait for a Eureka after the Classical era.
religious combat is "fun" but also super annoying if there's an enemy that has roughly 20 apostles within your borders. (even though i have no open borders with anyone...)
They "kill" your missionaries and apostles (even during times of peace), they clutter your screen with meaningless icons, they're in the way of troop movements...

Playing with two of my friends currently.
Friend A: Don't settle here, it's too close to me. Head north.
Friend B: Okay.
<10 turns later>
Friend A: What the fuck? You ignored me.
Friend B: No I listened. I settled north. 1 tile.
<Friend A declares war>
Friend B: ...you're not serious right?
Friend A in about 45 minutes destroys the city B made and also destroys Toronto which was the only City State that Friend B had. The war only ended after Friend B makes a religion called "PLEASE STOP KILLING ME" and they negotiate peace.
I love how Civ brings the savage out of people.

Is friend A an AI?

Nah, he just wasn't gonna put up with my other friend's crap.
Might as well try V and see if it's interesting. If it's V without expansions though, prepared for it to be a bit barebones.

Is there a mod to re-add Alert to the game? I want to love the 'Automatically end turn' function, but I just watched a barbarian stroll past a fortified unit and take a few chunks out of a city before I was able to regain control of my game and retaliate.

Check V out, its really great and has lots of content (if you own the expansions).

How come when i meet a new civ they send a delegation which i accept, then i send them one and they always refuse it? This has happened every time in every game.
Marbozir is my favorite. Quill18 is pretty good but his videos are cut up twitch streams with thanking subs and all that mess.
