  • does trading among your own cities get you more resources, or are they simple transferred between cities?
  • how much should I follow the recommendations for producing stuff? Sometimes it's useful but it almost never tells me to produce a builder even though they seem kinda crucial
  • how fast should I be expanding? Should I be starting cities as much and as quickly as possible?
  • is it me, or is it very hard to trade favorably or even equally with non-human players? They never seem to be OK with trading one resource for another. They always want some gold too.

I'm only on my second game so far, so still figuring things out. Enjoying it a lot though!

I own a Switch, PS5, and a beefy PC and have been playing Civilization since the first one on MS-DOS.

I love playing games on my TV and using a controller nowadays. I've been playing the Switch version and it works great (controls-wise) but there are obvious performance issues. My PC has no difficulty playing Civ6 regardless of map sizes or number of AIs. But I dislike playing with the KBM when I'm in front of the TV. Since I've already double-dipped (well, triple, since I also own Civ6 on my iPad), I'm reluctant to buy the PS5 version as well.

Does anyone know if there are any good controller mods out there for the PC version? I've even tried emulating the Switch version on my PC, which works well, but doesn't quite give the performance level I would expect to get, since it's emulating a Switch now.

Game of Civ6 using mods which multiply everything by 10. (I'm the original author of the Traits x10 mod, working on update now)

There's just something about the art style that works really well for screenshots.

Playing with a bunch of mods, so if you don't recognise it, it's probably a mod.
