I confess I don't remember how diplomacy in the Civ games work.  (It's been a while since I played.)  What don't you like about it?
The problem i have with the diplomacy in Civ games (similar in GalCiv games) is that it's just a system of rip off. It's almost impossible to have fair deals and it's always object specific (give me a horse for iron etc.). In MOO1, you make treaties that are beneficial for both sides (trade, science) it's mutual. I barely use diplomacy in Civ games while i use it a lot in MOO games. Stellaris has mostly copied the MOO1 system (which i prefer).

Thanks to the generosity of a friend, I seem to have acquired a copy of Civ VI for my birthday.  :bigthumb:

Teddy/Bull Moose, I got a culture win on Emperor Level, but I don't remember how many turns it took.  It was early 1900s though.

Didn't have to fight a lot of wars to get their either.  I did have to stomp out the Khymer religion when they wouldn't stop converting my cities, though


Currently giving the Aztecs a whirl to see how it goes.  I'm playing the shuffled tech/culture trees + secret societies

Aztecs were annoying me.  Restarted as Pericles, but still playing with the shuffled tech/culture trees + secret societies, on a huge / small continents map on emperor setting, wiht 18 city-states and 6 other civs (plenty of room to meander)

Sadly, despite spending about 20 hours on it, I'm just not getting it.  :(

It's funny, I can do really well with Civ V, but Civ VI confuses me. Even on the easiest levels, I still can't surpass the AI. I imagine I need to dig deeper into it. I'm usually just playing it without turning too detailed an eye on things.

It took me a while as well before i got into it. It's a very different game from the previous ones. I haven't played for a while but the bonuses you choose are very very important as well as the placement of improvements.
