Civilization 6 thread

Discuss the new Barbarian game mode, and any shenanigans related to it. Plus, try to guess which civ will be revealed next month. Portugal never ever

OP's starting question: Now that we got a barbarian game mode, what will the next mode will be and do you expect an unprecedented fourth expansion?

HELLO /vst/
i am an elite skirmisher, the most worthless unit in AOE2. why i am i worthless? because the absolute dogshit AI in this game makes me attack the closest unit, instead of the archers i am supposed to be fighting. also, the dogshit AI means that enemy archers wont be attacking me since i am in the back and not in the front.

therefore the bonus damage against archers is worthless.
therefore the bonus armor against archers is worthless.

I, the elite skirmisher, am a fundamentally flawed unit.
of course all units in AOE2 are fundamentally flawed to the point of worthlessness. so that is par for the course in this broken retarded game.

I guess you can post any city building as well
How it goes comrade, have you build your gopnik paradise yet?

Where do I get the best China-experience?

Is it pointless to get into starcraft 2 in 2021? It doesn't seem like a starcraft 3 will ever come out. I want RTS to become as popular as other genres but it doesn't seem like it is going to happen.
