    its the best civ, but the research tree needs rebalancing
    no reason to touch the bottom half 90% of the time
    also 1/3rd of the civs are straight-up awful, 2 of them have detrimental bonuses that make them worse than an unbonused civ
    10/10 though, 6 was dogshit, 4's just doomstacking N+1

      never played 5, why is it better than 6?

        It's weird to say, but I like the grammar of the game. 6 feels bloated with a bunch of mechanics that don't enhance or even conflict with the empire building aesthetics and the only return is busywork. 5 has a better flow to it. Honestly, it's mostly the new district system that turned me away.

        6 is bloated to all frick with pointless mechanics that add nothing to the experience beyond wasting your time with micro managing. 5 is just comfy.

        what other anons said, plus there's an air of what you might call "sincerity" around the game
        e.g. the quotes for techs aren't goofy quips and jokes 90% of the time, the rulers aren't hideous caricatures, many rulers that you'd actually want to see are in the game, etc.

    Download the Vox Populi mod, it makes the game twenty times better. just disable the moronic civ6-tier "lose a population on settler production."

        Maybe Lekmod is better, I've never played it.

        Regardless, Vox Populi is a two-part mod wherein the first component (community patch) just improves the basegame, AI, and I think a few balance changes but not many. The second portion which is the mod in full is harder to explain summarily but it basically it overhauls every aspect of the game and adds more complexity to everything (policies, beliefs, techs, units/promotions/happiness, etc) while adding new promotions/units/vassalage/wonders/buildings and a lot more yields overall. It's definitely worth a try, especially given how much more threatening the AI is in wars.

          1) The AI is now competent
          2) Most aspects of the game get less nonsensical / more interesting / more balanced (mileage may vary)

          Is there a way to get the AI fixes without the rest of the mod? Or is it customizable in any way? How many mods can I stack before it breaks is basically what I'm asking.

            Technically it's broken down into several (5-8) components, not all of them mattering equally. it's broken down because they're supposed to be modular, but I've always used the full package (and even submods on top of that).
            So, hard to say. Most people use everything at once but every now and then you get the odd guy reporting a bug while using COmmunity Patch only.

              yeah you just install the first folder (1) and if there are any actual gameplay changes (which I'm pretty sure the install page says there aren't many) you can change it in the folder. Same thing for the overhaul folder (2), you can change ALMOST everything excepting AI without having to download the uncompiled DLL file. modability is fine, I use tons of them but they are all vox populi modmods so I'm not sure how base civ 5 mods would fare (although things like civs would work fine.)

              Thanks anons

          Is it compatible with modded civs, units and wonders? I normally play with like a hundred modded wonders trying to build as many as I can.

    It's good but I like a few features in 4 better. The way 4 handles population and happiness is better, because of how population works you can make early game a lot more interactive with slavery since you can use population to rush production without permanently fricking your city. The combat would be fine if the ai was better but as it is it kinda sucks. Doomstacks are bad too but at least the ai can use them properly.

    Been playing and enjoying Civ V a lot lately, I just wish the AI wasnt completely inept at moving units, its always laughably easy to outmaneuver them especially if you know they are coming for you
    Diplomacy often feels completely irrelevant as well, you can spend the entire game kissing other civs ass just for them to denounce you the second you try to go for a win. Diplomacy victory is also just bribing city states 1 turn before the congress

    I just hope the next civ gives a more integrated system (i.e have your economy effect your war more than just being unable to buy more soldiers) to make it harder to map paint. There's no reason why a country should be financially solvent if they spend the majority of their time at war, or why there shouldn't always be an internal struggle of citizens demanding different governments during each Era so we could get some civil war kino. Either way this series, especially with 6 being the biggest signifier, will dumb itself further down and down to its board game roots

      I just hope they get rid of the mobile game graphics. Just make it realistic, use proper textures and no cell-shading

      Also i hate how happinesses prevents basically having a wide empire. Going wide should be limited by your ability to defend and your income, while happinesses should influence social policies imo

    I don't like how the game pretty much forces you to be a full pacifist or complete warmonger with no middle ground. I did a game with my friend and got harassed by an AI for too long so I declared war on him and took one city before making peace, literally every single other civ then hated me for the entire rest of the game and even embargo'd me which since I was going for a culture victory ruined the entire game and I ended up losing to my friend who won with a science victory despite me being in 1st place in points for literally the entire game. You're better off never going to war with anyone ever.
