r/civ

I’m really enjoying civ 7 multiplayer and playing with friends. It would be great if the multiplayer player limit could be increased! Right now it’s 8 max

Want to try these games not sure which one to play. Seen some things about Civ 7 not being to great but not sure if it's better now or if I should play 5 or 6? Never played these games before. Will be playing on a m4 pro MacBook. Thanks

I'm seeing in workshop notes that victories will now come in different "levels" - transcendent, crushing, narrow, etc. Is this what I think it is? Your victory gets a different name, according to how early you win? How did it work out in the workshop version?

I’ve gotten very good at completing loosely themed games on deity whilst completing all the legacy paths. I’ve now done it with 6 different leaders never repeating a civ. Recently, I’ve taken on the challenge of doing it with Carthage which appears to be the most difficult.

If I created a YouTube channel and paid someone to edit my videos — would this interest any of you? Speaking about specifically if you’d watch loosely themed — for example only the Chinese Civs, or Civs with Tundra Affinity, or Native American sequence, or Native South American — perfect games on deity with insightful gameplay commentary.

Okay I’m going to leave this here.

Played a Marathon game on Noble difficulty on a Fractal map. Got a huge island all to myself, great, I thought, until I started to try to expand to the north and realized that there was an endless spawn point of barbarians somewhere in the fog of war. They just kept coming and kept getting stronger, I hadn't planned on investing 100% of my resources into my army because there was nobody else on the island, so I wanted to just expand quickly and take the whole island to myself. But the stupid barbarians just kept spawning and spawning and over the next three thousand years they probably sent like sixty units, forcing me to go all in on fighting a threat that would have absolutely no effect on the rest of the game, and even then it wasn't enough. I had four cities, all of them all in on making more and more military units, the barbs kept destroying my horse pastures ruining all my progress, and it's like the barbs could spawn in a unit every single turn. It was literally endless. Eventually I just gave up, I threw my hands in the air and retired, because I was at 150 BC and had made no progress, and the barbarian army was too much to possibly take on.

Does anyone have any idea why this happened? I've played this game a while and nothing like this has ever happened.
