Civ6 PBEM3 Organizing Thread

Does the game have passwords? If not someone could email me a current save file and I wouldn't mind playing through a couple rounds hotseat to compare settler costs and post results in the lurker thread.

When considering a restart we need to consider the fact that our intentionally lackadaisical pace will probably have us getting patched mid-game at least once more (if there's a fall patch) and possibly twice (if there's also a winter patch and the game goes long enough).

On an unrelated note, I attempted to look up some information on a game mechanic via The Google this morning.  A link to one of Ichabod's posts in his spoiler thread was a first-page search result. 

That's a good point. I guess it depends on what problems we happen to face. Lets keep the discussion going, anyway. We don't need to rush to a decision.

Yeah, there's a real lack of information on game mechanics around the web. There's some useful reference at civfanatics forum (especially the stickied threads on the civ 6 strategy and tips subforum), but a lot of it you have to test yourself. Even wikis have glaring mistakes and a lot of reddit posts/forum posts have wrong info.

I have no problem sharing whatever info is in my thread. I know you can't enter it to read, but I don't mind if a lurker gets the relevant info and post it for you.

I don't have a password set for my save. I can send you once it reaches me, I think it's a good idea.

The issue is that the one sentence I saw wasn't discussion about how the game mechanic works.  The term I used to search turned out to be a phrase in your post, which is why it came up in the results.  I was also mistaken - it was on the 2nd page of search results, not the first, but I'll need to keep that in mind the next time I go searching for something (stay on page 1).  If you like I'll PM you the search phrase and you can see what came up.

Don't worry about it, there's no need. It happens.

The thing is during the first turn of the patch I had this problem only when I tried it with Bacchus. The following one it worked without problem Now I crash no matter whom I try to deal with. In SP the game crashes after 5 turn for whatever reason (maybe there is contact happening?).
What I have read other people have problems to get even a game started without crash.

For the moment I'm in the line of lets wate and see what happens. And hope for the best.

[Bacchus]

If it's as you say, looks like there is a major stability issue which will surelt be hotfixed quite quickly. I've experienced no issues so far.

[Woden]

FYI, my settler cost issue in PBEM4 seemed to resolve itself after a few turns. Looks to be a good idea to keep going. Maybe the other things will resolve themselves too.

[Kaiser]

I neither had interface issues although I can confirm that my settlers cost 110. The timing of the patch is unfortunate for our game as it has actually a high impact but we have to adapt.

Hopefully the interface bugs will not occur anymore and we can continue the game as it is.

[Ichabod]

My settlers are also costing what they should and I have not had interface problems.

By the way, there's a not documented change in the last patch: plantations improvements give 2 gold right now, not 1, as they did before.

[suboptimal]

I've had no interface issues either, though my settler cost is still at the old value.  I'll advise if I see this corrects itself as it did for Woden in PBEM 4.
