I always fight back pretty easily, but it is frustrating for sure. I started a 5 person game last night and Gilgamesh charged at me at like turn 30. I demolished his war carts and warrior without much at all. After chasing down his units, I accepted peace by taking his luxury resources, gold, and a solid 7 g/turn for 30 turns.

Gilgamesh is awesome. Clearing a barbarian outpost gives you the gold plus a goody hut reward. Early game you build a few units and go barb hunting, end up with experienced units and possibility of a huge tech/civics lead due to rewards.

Playing one now were I am jammed up on a continent, with 4 cirt states, england, russia and norway. It's actually hard to move troops around there's so much built up on it. there's been constant fighting since the very beginning. Norway make a settlement right next to my capitol and then declared war on me for having troops inside their borders. Norway is no more. 
Needless to say I'm really enjoying the game, but it could stand with a few tweaks.

Just downloaded it today. I've loved the past 3 Civ games, so I'm sure I'll get hooked.

The more I play, the more I realize diplomacy needs some serious fixing.
-Casus belli doesn't really work. Saladin settled like 4 cities RIGHT on my borders after I asked him not to. I couldn't declare anything but formal war or surprise war. I denounced, waited, everything. Never had the option.
-I can't declare peace. Gilgamesh DoWed me (still don't know why) while he was a good ways away. He sent a small fragmented army that I destroyed with ease. I didn't want to war but he would never accept my peace offer.
-Greece declared on me EARLY while on another continent. Never saw a unit of his. Never engaged in battle. Offered peace after like 40 turns. I tried offering peace multiple times...no luck. My city had a war weariness penalty the entire time. Why?
-Speaking of peace, Gilgamesh offered a city. I didn't want it so I removed it from the deal. He wouldn't accept the deal.
-Early war makes it frustrating. I've played a couple games where Greece, India, Konga, or Gilgamesh will declare on me within 25 turns. That doesn't bother me a ton, but they have full-fledged armies. How are they getting 6+ mounted units and archers that quick?
-Modifiers for relationships need to be altered. Brazil and China hate me as soon as I get a great person or build a wonder. I understand a negative modifier, and that's cool. I just think it should be ONE component of it. It makes relationships difficult.
-Something has GOT to be done about the religion spamming. I've had multiple games where the AI will have religious units blocking every tile in my city's 3-tile radius. I can't move my military, my great people....I can't even go improve a tile. I like the religion mechanic but holy hell, that's absurd.

Yeah, they need to make you need an open borders treaty to move on your lands with religious units, or seriously change things up. Maybe add a casus belli when you can attack them for no warmonger if they don't keep the religious units away from you.
They definitely need to change the ability to build a city literally touching another city's border. Used to not be able to in older civ games, and it's a bad change.
The diplomacy does need to change, too hard to build relationships. I've had frigging Gandhi of all people suddenly attack me for no reason when we had a declaration of friendship, it's ridiculous.
Overall, I really like the game, lots of improvements, just some need tweaking.
Who does everyone think are the best civs to play? I'd have to give the nod to Gorgo and Peter so far.
Gorgo's extra wildcard spot is extremely nice, and the culture from battle is super awesome given that you almost always wind up at war with your neighbors early on. Not a big fan of having to build acropolis on hills, but a population free culture district is nice too.
Peter is awesome with the extra land from the start, it's clutch for keeping the AI off your lands. And the extra science and culture from trade routes can be great early on. And the pop free religion district is awesome early on for building a religion and getting writer, musician, and artist points.
The Germans are pretty nice as well with the extra military spot and extra district without population needs, and the Hansa.

That damn Ghandi still the harbinger of doom and destroyer of worlds I see. Bastard

You guys are killing me, about to buy this game. I purposely stayed away from this thread knowing that if I didn't I'd be tempted and once again I prove my resolve weak. Oh well, here go countless waisted hours.

Gilgamesh is nice early game with the War Carts
I like Barbosa too, the city state bonus is nice
I do agree that having religious people flooding my cities sucks, they need to fix that

He'll be nerfed, no doubt in my mind. Far too easy for the AI to run away with a game with him. If you play as Germany you might as well be playing on a difficulty lower.
That being said, I agree with the others about which civs are the best. Greece, Germany, and sumeria have been the best for me so far.
ETA: If you have religious victory enabled then Scythia is a solid one as well.

I played my first couple games, and one of the big things I noticed is how much more annoying the Barbarians are. I would completely clear out an area and destroy all their encampments, then 10 turns later, three barbarian units would show up right next to my city. Normally, this wouldn't be that annoying, but it can be problematic when you are trying to deal with an aggressive AI at the same time.

It can be frustrating but they'll help your units level a TON. If you're scouting you can always walk off from them and heal. They can't heal.
I never attack them if opposition has DoWed me. Usually the barbarians will go after their units.

Have there been any Civilization games for PS3/Xbox since Civilization Revolution?
Posted on 11/17/16 at 9:54 am to jchamil
Liking the game so far, I like the map in V better than VI, I'm color blind and some of these tones on the maps are hell to tell apart.
Anyone else having this problem?

The last city conquered from a player now provides a heavy warmonger penalty, even if you have a Casus Belli against this player, because you are wiping out a civilization. • Reduced border incursion warnings if the troops are within their own borders. • Increased the number of Great Works of Writing slots in the Amphitheater to 2. • Increased Counterspy operation time. • Increased the cost of Religious units and applied additional charges. • Units may no longer be deleted when they are damaged. • Deleting a unit no longer provides gold. • Updated Island Plates map to have more hills and mountains. • Units may no longer remove features from tiles that are not owned by that player. • Fallout now prevents resource harvesting. • Barbarian camps must spawn further away from low-difficulty players’ cities.
quote:
[AI TUNING] • Adjusted AI victory condition focus to increase their competitiveness in Science and Tourism. • Adjusted AI understanding of declared friendship. • Adjusted the AI approach to beginning and ending a war based on potential gain and loss. • Increased AI competitiveness in building a more advanced military. • Increased AI usage of Inquisitors.

quote:
[BUG FIXES] • Fixed some production Social Policies, Great People, and Pantheon bonuses that were not applying correctly. • Fixed Royal Navy Dockyard not getting the right adjacency bonuses. • Fixed some issues with how the Great Wall was built by players and AI, including proper connection to mountains and removing other players’ Great Walls as potential connection points. • Fixed a unit cycling error with formations. • Fixed a bug where the first military levy that expired would return all levied units (including those levied from other city-states) to that city-state. Now it should only return the levied units that actually originally belonged to the one city-state. • Fixed several issues when Airstrips and Aerodromes are occupied, including forced rebasing of enemy units and UI updates. • Fixed an exploit that allowed ranged and bombard units to gain experience when attacking a district with 0 hit points. • Fixed an issue with wonders when transferring city ownership – conquering a city with a wonder would not track that wonder, and could lead to problems when attempting to use Gustave Eiffel. • Fixed an issue where the Settler lens would not always show the right information to the player. • Fixed an issue where AI would counter gold changes with the change desired, rather than the total amount of gold desired. • Fixed an issue where the Tutorial intro and outro videos would appear off-center in certain resolutions. • Fixed some crashes with units. • Fixed an issue where multiple leaders of the same civilization would frequently show up in a game. • Fixed an issue where Trade Route yields were doubling in some instances. • Units in formations now break formation before teleporting between cities. • The achievement ‘For Queen and Country’ was unlocking too frequently. • AI with neutral relationships should accept delegations barring exceptional circumstances. • Can no longer declare a Joint War if it is invalid for either party. • Save game files should no longer be case sensitive. • Certain wonders were sending extra notifications. • Players will no longer receive any warmongering penalties from a joint war partner for actions in that joint war. • Liberating a civilization back to life will now bring them back into the game properly. • Observation Balloon range bonus was being incorrectly applied when stacked. • Text and grammar fixes.
