AI civs are not earning Great Prophet points. I now have the only religion. Is this due to my difficulty setting?

I am playing as Phillip II, my neighbors include China and Scotland. I haven't discovered the other continent yet as the world has only entered the Renaissance. In other playthroughs, in Prince difficulty, I barely make it to the Classical era and all the religions have been established. This is my first time playing as Phillip, first time playing on Warlord (which might as well be Sandbox) and first time playing Gathering Storm. Is there a setting I inadvertently hit? I didn't even open Advanced Settings so Religious victory should be in play, right?

For me the same situation occurred when I use Shuffle Tech and Civics mode. Sometimes Astrology may be higher up the tech tree and may have prerequisites of techs that have situational euricas (e.g. you can only boost Wheel if you can build a mine in the city)

The answer provided by Flaunting is correct, but in case anyone is interested why it might be more efficient, here is an explanation. In immediate mode (I think this is the default case in minecraft) when you want to render say a square: You would issue the following commands each frame (in pseudo code) begin drawing draw line from (0,0) to (1,0) draw line from (1,0) to (1,1) draw line from (1,1) to (0,1) draw line from (0,1) to (0,0) end drawing For one square, this is not a lot, but there could be millions of vertices in a scene, and they may have more attributes (colour, normal etc.). This is a lot of data to send to the GPU each frame. Using VBOS, you would load all of the vertex data into GPU memory at the start. Pseudo code might look like this: create VBO load (0,0) into VBO load (1,0) into VBO load (1,1) into VBO load (0,1) into VBO load (0,0) into VBO The OpenGL code will give you back a 'name' for this VBO (a non-zero unsigned integer iirc). You can then reference this when you want to draw the square. So each frame, you only need to issue one draw command: draw vertices in VBO You may have to set up the drawing state so that it uses pairs of vertices for lines, but for each additional VBO, you only require one extra draw call. In fact, for static level geometry (probably not applicable in the case of minecraft) you can combine all of these vertices into one massive VBO, if you have enough GPU memory. I'm surprised that the speed-up is only 5-10%. This is probably because of the dynamic level geometry.

Well, I found out: 10+ punches kill the guard. It increases the violence rating, but removes a witness. Depending on the preference of the mission giver, one may be preferable to the other.

Each building, district, wonder, unit or project has a cost (generally refereed as hammers by their symbol). To build something your city needs to produce the required hammers. The time to build something therefore is cost in hammers / hammers produced per turn. There are a lot of ways to influence the hammers your city produces. This is a small list of the most common factors: Tiles around your city (when worked i.e. with a green population symbol on it). Some tiles (like hills) will produce hammers. Some others (like greenland flats) won't Improved tiles. Your Builder units can build Improvements on tiles (like mines) which improve the hammers provided Buildings in your city producing hammers (water mill, workshop, factory, ...) Trade routes you initiated from this city can provide hammers. (This is a good strategy to boost a new city) Some religions and pantheons provide hammers.

It's very likely to be just an Easter-Egg, I can't find any actual use for them. The Easter Egg refers to The Simpsons Doom where donuts were used as health packs, I cannot guarantee you that it's definetly pointless to have it (other than for the sake of completionism), but it's very likely that it's just that, an easter egg referring for another Mod of Doom: The Simpsons Doom This thread has a discussion of the (then) upcoming Doom mod, which is the first mention I could find of donuts.

On Insanity mode the AI actually seems stupider, and does not have much sense of self-preservation, though I wouldn't call them actively suicidal. The AI will simply sit on an active grenade and let themselves die, they'll ignore an enemy bum-rushing our cover. They don't seem to get that they're about to die. The AI also largely ignores their own powers; I often have to manually order my squad to use powers on roit shield targets, which they often happily ignore. However, they are not suicidal in that they won't actively attempt to bum rush enemies and get themselves killed, but they seem very content to sit still and not use many powers or bullets. Yes, micromanaging is often necessary to keep them alive, and yes, they're going to spend a lot of time "dead" if you don't play a very good game on Insanity. But if you take charge in the battle and leave them behind they generally won't go out of their way to get killed.

After a little more research, I still don't have a definitive answer, but here's my semi-educated theory: Like Civ V, the base number of religions per game is tied to the map size, according to the following distribution: ╔════════╦═════════════════╦═══════════╗ ║ Size ║ Major civ count ║ Religions ║ ╠════════╬═════════════════╬═══════════╣ ║ Duel ║ 2 (default) ║ 2 ║ ║ Tiny ║ 4 (default) ║ 3 ║ ║ Small ║ 6 (default) ║ 4 ║ ║ Normal ║ 8 (default) ║ 5 ║ ║ Large ║ 10 (default) ║ 6 ║ ║ Huge ║ 12 (default) ║ 7 ║ ║ Huge ║ 10 ║ still 7 ║ ╚════════╩═════════════════╩═══════════╝ I got these numbers by actually starting a new game with each of the initial condition combos (playing as Catherine de Medici, starting in the Ancient Era). I beelined for starting a religion and checked the "All Religions (1/n)" button after doing so. There are exceptions, though. In particular, game era makes a difference. Quoting page 133 of the game manual: Great Prophets are no longer available when starting the game in the Industrial Era or later. So there's no religion at all in games that start halfway through history. My guess is that this is because the game's Great Prophets all come from three eras: Classical, Medieval and Renaissance. So even if your game still has available religion slots left (like mine), you could miss out on getting to found a religion if you've progressed to a later era or all the Great Prophets from your era have already been generated. (This doesn't work the other way around, though; I was able to generate a Classical Era Great Prophet while still in the Ancient Era, and successfully founded a religion with that unit.) There's still a hole in this theory: I loaded an earlier save file for my game, when I was still in the Renaissance Era, and the "All individuals of this type [Great Prophet] have already been earned" message was already there.

Spies are generally the best way to prevent other spies from stealing your stuff, however, spies can only counter spy for one commercial district, so if you have multiple commercial districts, you need multiple counter spies. To get the best results for counter spying, if you can get the Quartermaster and Seduction upgrades for your spies, they will be much more effective at counter spying. This will allow you to capture or kill enemy spies with more frequency, and to prevent your coffers from being drained. A bonus to this is that enemy civs will generally offer lots of money or other goods to get their spies back which they will promptly send back for you to recapture.

Normally these settings cannot be changed once a game is started however if you go to %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Saves\ here you can find Single, Multi, and Hotseat folders. Select the save game you want to edit and replace with the following: **hex values** = **function** = **notepad++** 00 4d b6 b3 9a = dynamic turns = M¶³š 00 bf b6 ab 9a = simultaneous turns = ¿¶«š For example if you want to make a simultaneous turn game dynamic you can find and replace ¿¶«š with M¶³š or you can use the hex address with a hex editor this process can also be reversed. As an added bonus you can move saves between the Single Multi and Hotseat folders to "convert" them to the respective modes. It should be noted using regular notepad causes the save to crash your game so only use notepad++.

This is a subjective indication of difficulty by the developers of the game. They are letting you as a player know what you're getting yourself into by playing the god. Generally, gods with straightforward abilities will be rated "easy", while gods with abilities that are more situational or require greater player skill to fully maximize may be rated "hard". Take it with a grain of salt. Your perception of what's difficult or not may differ from the developers' opinion on the matter. The best thing to do is give each god a try and remember which you liked and which you didn't.

allow free revokation only apply's to members of another faith, it's not free if they have the same faith as you. and unless you change it in your saved game file you will not get the option unless you change your crown laws.

It seems to be an issue with the last update of civ 6 - in the past it was definitely possible to combine two units into a corps as soon as one got "nationalism" - now your are only able to build corps in cities, if a military academy is present in that city. I am not sure whether that is intentionally done or it should be considered to be a bug.

According to the wiki, the limitations are as follows Floodplains (unless you're Egypt). Strategic/Luxury Resources (Unless it was built before that strategic resource was revealed, in which case you're granted access once it is researched). Antiquity Sites or Shipwrecks before you've excavated them. Already existing Wonders/Districts Non-Clearable Features (e.g. If you don't have mining you can't build a district on a forest). Harbor Districts must be adjacent to land. Aerodome and Spaceport districts must be on flat land (no hills). Aqueducts must be one tile away from both your city center and a mountain, river, or lake tile. It states that you can place districts on bonus resources but they will be removed.

I've referred to this for my source on necromancer skills: http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/necromancer-curses.shtml Lower Resist decreases an enemies elemental resistances and Decrepify decreases their physical resistance. Unfortunately, bone spells do magic damage, so I don't think either curse improves your bone spell damage (as Grace Note pointed out). They are only useful for your minions; Lower Resist helps your skeletal mages and Decrepify helps your skeletons. Also, if you are using Revive then those minions will do more damage when you use those curses (most monsters don't do magic damage). Unless you totally focus on them and skills that synergize (see my sidenote), Bone Spear and Bone Spirit are ineffective because they do not scale up in Hell difficulty. However, Bone Prison and Bone Wall do. Also curses and revives scale up because they are based on the strength of monsters in Hell. For a summoner, playing heavily to revive is a good plan. Look at some revive necromancer guides, this being a short example: http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=707530. I recommend maxing Revive and Iron Golem, so that you have plenty of summons to work with and a golem for killing monsters to get that first revive. I also think you're better off replacing Bone Spear with Bone Prison and Iron Maiden. Then you can lock monsters in with your minions and have them damaged by both their own attacks and your minions, while boosting with other curses you have. Iron Maiden has the nice property that an increase in skill level increases the damage taken, not the spell radius like many other curses. Bone Spirit is appropriate to some extent for helping your Iron Golem take down monsters, but certainly not worth focus. Sidenote: To get an idea of how much damage a pure bone necromancer does, I'm in Hell difficulty with my necromancer right now using an all bone build, around level 76, roughly these skills (I can update values tonight when I check): Teeth: 10 (about +6 with items) Bone Spear: 20 Bone Spirit: 20 (about +4 with items) Bone Wall: 10 Bone Prison: 20 Some other misc. skills And I only do over 3000 damage per spirit. That's very little in Hell difficulty.
