Realms Beyond Civ 4 AI survivor

[Pat Mustard]

Civilization: Beyond Earth sure takes care of that.  Still, I prefer the regular games.  They feel more like home.

The problem I'm having with Civ 6 (besides the lack of a world builder or an InfoAddict mod) is that the AI doesn't know how to be aggressive enough.  Or maybe cities are just too hard to take.  Even the opponents with big advantages in size and technology take forever to conquer as much as they should.  I play it on Immortal or Deity level because otherwise I don't get much of a fight.

(IMHO, the best Civ games are the ones where you find yourself as a garrison state, fighting tooth and nail just to survive.  Best one ever was a game where I had ten cities on an island facing two AIs controlling continents.  They must've nuked me thirty times before they finally conquered me.)

From what I can see (even if I wanted to, my computer doesn't have enough rams to play the game, it's full of ewes) cities are easy enough to take, if one is human. The biggest problem with war in 6 is the biggest problem in 5 1UPT, as in the programmers never bothered trying to create or borrow an AI that could use it to half way decent standards.
