How is it that an AI player can finish a wonder in 30 turns, presumably with the same starting level as me with regards to Civics and Research, when it takes me 40 to build the same wonder?

It's very annoying to say the least...unless I am doing something really wrong here, I just don't get it. I am trying for a cultural or religious victory and these wonders are a huge part of it. If that's the way the game was designed, then I think the Devs need to take a look at that.

The Argentinian people represent a civilization in Civilization VI. They are led by EvIta, under whom their default colors are Blue and Orange, their capital is Buenos Aires, their civilization symbol is the Sun of May, present on the flag of Argentina and their Main Theme is based on "Gracias A La Vida". They have a tier 5 starting bias towards Furs, Ivory, Truffles, Honey, Deer, Sheep and Cattle and a tier 3 starting bias towards horses.

Argentina (Nuevo Cancionero): Great Works of Music give +100% culture and tourism. The capital gains +25% production towards districts, buildings, projects and civilian units and +15% production towards wonders.

Evita (Los Descamisados): Cities receive +1 housing, amenity and loyalty for each district and wonder they have. Tiles cost 50% less gold to purchase.

Gaúcho: Argentinian unique unit that replaces the cavalry. Costs 360 production, 1440 gold, horses and needs 6 gold to maintain. Has 5 movement, 65 combat strengh and 2 sight. Has 1 build charge. Can build Camps and Pastures in their specific resources and can clear terrain, both these actions cost 1 build charge and can also remove tile improvements, this action doesn't cost a build charge but the Gaúcho needs to have atleast 1 build charge to do it. Camps and Pastures built by a Gaúcho give +3 gold. Receives +5 combat strengh if within 4 tiles of a Camp or Pasture and is unlocked with Nationalism.

Tanguería: Argentinian unique building of Argentina that replaces the Broadcast Center. Costs 440 production, 1760 gold and needs 3 gold to maintain. Gives +2 culture, +2 great musician points, +1 great artist point and a citizen slot. This building has 2 slots for Great Works of Music; doesn't gain bonuses from power; all camps and pastures in a city with a Tanguería gain +2 gold and tourism equal to it's gold output and is unlocked with Opera and Ballet.

So basically, this is a concept that starts in the year 1492, and several historical colonial nations must battle for supremacy in an epic showdown. There are also playable Native American tribes, which are much more difficult but also very fun to play as.

Special Mechanics:

Explorers (Europeans only): Explorers are basically mega-buffed scouts, and each European nation has a historical set of them that they can recruit. Each European nation also starts with one explorer. Explorers can be sent on missions to explore a specific area, such as Greenland, Caribbean, Bermuda, etc.

Medicine Men (Natives only): Medicine Men are special units recruitable by all native nations. They can be used to find unguarded explorers and kill them, every time they do that you get a lump sum of gold. However, medicine men are vulnerable to conquistadors (more on them later) and can be killed.

Conquistadors (Europeans only): Conquistadors, previously only available to Spain are now available to all nations. They can kill medicine men, do a trade with natives (giving both sides some gold) and be attached to an explorer to protect them from medicine men.

Guides (Natives only): Guides are recruitable by all native nations. They are able to trade, like conquistadors can, and can also be attached to medicine men to prevent them from being killed. Guides have less combat strength than conquistadors (5 less) but more movement points (2+.)

Misc: Map of Western Europe, the Atlantic and americas (americas can be randomized or kept historical,) and There is a new action, known as “form colonial nation,” which creates a fully loyal city-state like entity in cities you have selected. Technology is much slower to advance due to the turns being less extended, and city states already exist and cannot be removed from the game. Natives have a different military system, shown later in the concept.

Victory:

For Europeans:

Have at least 2 cities in each colonial theatre (which are Canada, Plains, East Coast, Mesomerica, Yucatán, Colombia, Andes, Carribean, Bermuda) and have no other nations that meet this criteria

For Natives:

Have at least 5 cities and have defeated at least one colonial nation and one native nations while having at least 1000 Faith with no other existing native nations meeting this criteria.

Special Unit system for Natives:

Natives have Classical Era troops. However, every time they encounter a new European power, ally with one, gain suzerainity of a city state or create a city they gain “combat technology.” The higher the combat technology is the stronger native troops are. Once it reaches 100% they will be at the same strength as Europeans. Also, natives can only construct post-medieval era buildings after encountering at least 3 European powers.

Game is 1492 (Columbus discovers America)-1776 (Beginning of American Revolution) MAX. 1 turn=1 year

Mine was with Japan with a culture victory having to battle Russia for Great Works the entire game.

I could only think of Bob Hawk as a leader but I feel he is too modern for Civilisation.

Well... I don't know how to call these cases, but what I meant by "multi-leader" is a leader who leads more than 2 civilizations, like Eleanor of Aquitaine and Kublai Khan.

Constantine I - Byzantine, Roman

Leader Bonus - Edict of Milan

• Domestic Trade Route connected to the capital provides 2 Faith, 1 Culture, and 1 Production per turn to the sending city. +100% to these bonuses when the sending city is the conquered one, +100% to these bonuses if two cities believe in the same Religion, and +100% to these bonuses if the Religion was founded by Constantine. (In total, the bonuses can be stacked up to 8 Faith, 4 Culture, and 4 Production.)

• Shrine increases 1 Trade Route capacity if the city doesn't have a Market or a Lighthouse.

Agenda - In Hoc Signo Vinces

• Focuses on founding and spreading Religion. Dislikes civilizations that are his neighbors, especially when they believe in different religions. Likes civilizations that are not his neighbors or believe in the same Religion.

Charles V - Dutch, German, Spanish

Leader Bonus - Europa Regina

• - "adjacency bonus of Commercial Hub X 4" % Gold and Faith cost of purchasing Land military unit in the capital or a city believes in the same Religion with the capital.

• Land military unit purchased in a city stated above starts with the "adjacency bonus of Industrial Zone(or Hansa) X 6" Experience.

• Gains the Landsknecht unique unit with Mercenaries.

Leader Unit: Landsknecht

• Replaces Pikeman. Higher Combat Strength(50 vs. 45). Unlocks with Mercenaries instead of Military Tactics.

• Receives double benefit from pillaging District or Tile(except healing effect).

Agenda: Universal Monarchy

• Likes civilizations that believe in the same Religion and with a strong army. Dislikes civilizations that believe in the different Religions or with a weak army.

One of the new elements of Civ 6 compared to prior games is the distinctive Leader Bonus, which reflects each leader's achievements. It does, however, have certain restrictions. Some Leader Bonuses can't convey the leaders' entire accomplishments due to the game's balance.

Matthias Corvinus of Hungary is a fine example of this. He's a formidable warlord in official Civ 6, commanding a massive mercenary army and the Black Army. But Matthias was not a simple warlord in real life. He also was a Renaissance king. He built the Bibliotheca Corviniana, a notable royal library, patronized many intellectuals, and took an interest in construction projects.

So here, I'd like to share the "Matthias Corvinus Persona Pack" design, which focuses on Matthias' cultural achievements.

Leader Bonus: Bibliotheca Corviniana

• +50% Production while constructing Library, University, or Research Lab.

• Library has 2 Great Works of Writing slots. When these slots are filled, Library, University, and Research Lab provide the same amount of Culture with Science(does not boosted by Rationalism). After researching Flight, these buildings provide the same amount of Tourism with Culture.

• Each level of walls provides 1/2/3 Science and Culture per turn. After researching Flight, walls provide the same amount of Tourism as well.

Agenda: Renaissance King

• Focuses on building high Culture and Science output. Likes civilizations with low Tourism output and dislikes civilizations with high Tourism output.

Debate thread.

Civ 5 and 6 are the latest additions to the age old Civ franchise. They were the 2 which gave the series its immense popularity. So, please state which game is better and give reasoning. Please do not state in this thread which one is better if you have only played 1 or neither.

In my opinion, Civilization 5 is the better one and also the best Civ game. First off, the animations are less cartoony and more realistic, leaders aren’t obscure leaders who most people without a historical knowledge don’t know about, and the unrealistic district thing was not present. Districts are unrealistic because a city would not span out a huge amount of tiles, nor would it span possibly an entire island or peninsula. Workers are also more realistic, instead of there being build points you take time to finish an improvement and the worker never dies, unless you disband it. I am also going to start making more Civ 5 concepts on this fandom, which I have previously refrained from doing due to no one playing the game. So yeah, that’s my opinion, what’s yours?

Unit the legion what is your favorite civilization

A scenario concept.

War of the Roses

A time of civil strife in England, 3 Major houses battle for supremacy. Edward, Duke of York, believes he has the right to rule due to his royal descendants. Henry, King of Lancaster, wants to keep his crown, and Henry, Lord of Tudor, wants to enter the conflict and rule England. Who will win?

Civs:

House of Lancaster

Henry Lancaster

Ability: King of England and Wales

Units require 5% less production to build. All encampments produce 1+ gold per turn.

House of York

Edward York

Ability: Pretender King

Units have 1+ movement point. city center produces 1+ gold per turn

House of Tudor

Henry Tudor

Ability: Underestimated power: All units have 3+ combat strength inside cities. Holy sites produce 1+ gold per turn.

Special Mechanics:

House Loyalty: Replaces the normal loyalty mechanic. With this type of loyalty, whoever puts the most loyalty pressure on a city will gain it instead of it becoming a free city!

House Members: House Members replace Great people. They can be attached to a unit, giving that unit 4+ combat strength, or they can be put into a city, decreasing outside House Loyalty pressure on it.

Tudor starts with Jasper Tudor, York starts with Richard York, and Lancaster starts with Margaret of Anjou.

Divine Right: Divine Right is generated by doing specific things with a new factor: The Clergy. If you make the clergy happy by giving them tithes and completing their missions, you gain more divine right, and if you ignore them or seize property from them, you lose Divine Right. Divine Right can be used to purchase Buildings in the city center, increase House Loyalty pressure on a city, and purchase house members.

Victory Types:

Overlord: Control the cities of York, Lancaster, St. Michael’s Mount, St. Albans, Swansea, and London and have at least 3 House Members. One other house must not exist.

United Roses: Have at least 500 Divine Right, 300 Gold, and 2 House Members while owning London, and not having the Clergy angry at you.

True Victor: No other house exists. A challenging but prestigious victory!

Technology does not exist and you have all medieval era units available to build.

Requires Rise and Fall and/or Gathering Storm.

Map: England and Wales, along with the Irish Pale and Isle of Man. Calais also exists but starts as a free city.

So there is the HOI4 challenge which iSorrowproductions (in)famously completed, but has anyone started in industrial era and used only artillery?

Imo it is it's better than the horseman
