RB Civ 6 Adventure 1 Potluck - Info Thread

Does anyone know how to make a screenshot?    [windows]+print screen doesn't work for me. I'm using windows 10.   Reports will be difficult without screenshots.

If you're on steam, you can press F12

Is it considered bad form to wait to play this until a patch comes out that might nerf the barbs a little? I understand that we should all play on the same patch, but the reports I have heard from people who turned barbs on has been utter devastation.

They're not that bad in my experience. They're definitely worse than any previous civ game, and you'll probably have a bad time if you're not prepared for it, but as long as you make sure to protect yourself a little it's manageable.

Windows 7 here; I pressed Print Screen, no other buttons, and a screenshot showed up in My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Screenshots.

Granted, it's a TGA file for some stupid reason, but that's what irfanview and batch conversion/rename are for.

If you die horribly to barbs in your first game and experience a raft of glitches along the way, report that! That's part of the fun.

Don't neglect your military early one is a very strong message I got from pre-release videos. I did go Worker first in the first game last night, and didn't have problems, but I picked the Shuffle map and got Jungle All Over

Had to work today, so still waiting for a chance to get in the first proper game, which will be this one

Barbs are manageable but you have to plan for them.

It honestly seems to be a bit luck-based, the horse barbarian camp is much stronger than the others early on.

[yuris125]

Barbs had an element of luck in every version of the game. In Civ6 they're an actual force and not a source of easy XP. Which is not necessarily a good change, but I don't think it's unreasonable (and I'm sure it's easy to tweak in early patches if necessary)

In my game (prince, but not the potluck) the barbs felt about like raging barbs from Civ IV to me. Definitely more of a problem than I was expecting, but not game-breakingly so.

Has anyone verified that killing the initial scout reduces/deters attacks from that camp? That would be an interesting mechanism.
