What do you think is the worse thing about this game?

[grumble]

I love this game. But it is far from perfect,

For me the worst thing about Civ 6 is that sometimes it is IMPOSSSIBLE to hold on to cities you conquer.

I do not mind it being difficult.
I do not mind it being expensive.
But being impossible is silly.

Germany conquered loads of cities at the beginning of the second world war - not one successfully revolted.

It should be a rare random event for a city with a garrison and a governor to revolt. It is daft that they automatically revolt after four or five turns.

The rather long loading times.

I'll second slash here with the caveat that I currently only have 8 gigs of ram which is part of the problem and likely not a fault of the game itself,

To op remember a turn can be several years.

I have 32GB RAM and the game is installed on NVMe, still the loading speed is sluggish.

yes that is very sad

I am waiting for Civ 7 to have some updates and interesting DLC and be on offer - perhaps it will not be as bad as it sounds.

I will surely give it a try when there is something similar to the Anthology Edition and a sale. So probably in a few years Until then I'll play Civ 6 and sometimes 5.

that by turn 60-100, you know you won the game

Or not as the case may be.

But you are right, by about turn 100 I can pretty much tell whether I am in with a chance of winning or not.

I believe it is this issue that they were trying to address in Civ 7 by having two restarts at the end of the first two ages. Have you tried Civ 7?

The World Congress. Especially if I am going for a Domination Victory. Why should I care about whatever rules a bunch of inferior nations are trying to impose on me? They will soon all be my vassals, anyway!

AI logic when you are ahead. All the AI starts to hate you regardless if you trying your best to be best buds with them.
Logic too focused on player and is the player winning? Yes? Have all the AI start not liking you.

Yes, it is very sad when an AI that has been friends with you for 5000 years suddenly drops you (I get so involved, I take it personally!)

Yes. I have often thought that.

If they are utterly defeated they should surrender like France in WW2

I would say that it's usually impossible to make the AI happy with you, too many factors. And the loyalty mechanic as implemented.

1621 was first thanksgiving
1776 usa declared independence
Thanksgiving a thing for the british people maybe or other people? Do others celebrate Thanksgiving?
This came to mind because thinking about the Native Americans and timeline.
Anyways, the AI wants to be like Sitting Bull the battle little bighorn, no surrender, never give up.
1876 Battle of Little Bighorn USA retreated from a decisive defeat by the Native American forces

Makes me think about indian reservations, they were countries at a time right?

Why can't the AI if they feel defeated just say "I'm going to work with you, do accept, so don't attack me"

I think the older civs you could form some alliance where you can finish the game with them. I really liked that feature.
I really miss the Civ 2 things you can do with other leaders.
Kind of miss building roads/railroads all over the map too.
AI if I remember right its bit more fun to work with too, because when you have them do an alliance war or something they'll actually show up.
If I recall right, if your under attack, they'll come to help out and keep you alive. I think its because of vision, if someone can see the enemy they'll get aggro'ed so if enemy is in your lands the AI sees it and starts rushing to help out. Vice versa too, you can attract the enemies alliance to come to their aid, it makes for some really interesting fights.

I miss AI like that.
