Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
I'm fine with this start location.
Spoiler: Spectator infoIt's actually pretty great, lots to chop and some good coastline to get Indonesia's district adjacency bonus. After some thought I decided to settle where I started; it has fresh water, the faith bonus for settling next to coast or lake, and at least one 4 yield space to have my first pop work. Settling anywhere else would have wasted a forest tile, so I think this was the right choice. Working on a slinger and Mining research.

Spoiler: DataNinja
Nice start! Two luxuries that I can see, +3 Harbour, and good tiles in the first ring!
Spoiler: Illven
... I mean it's not a desert start, but it doesn't have much going for it Though you do have that reef to give your campus a boost. Where did you end up settling?
Spoiler: RayGallade
What sort of deviant doesn't have yield icons on????? I kid I kid.
Nice start though, desert tiles for pyramids (Nubian and otherwise), horses, at least one mine-able resource.
Spoiler: Eurus
Indeed a very nice start! I personally would have settled where the warrior is to get that +3 harbour, but I think I'm overly biased towards harbours And it would get rid of a Kampung location.

Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
Spoiler: Spectators
Looks decent; settler started one square to the right. Toyed with going to the plains hill for the extra hammer and more usable tiles but losing a turn on online speed is huge and I want to pop that wheat tile soon for the eureka. Might be a good Petra city to the NE if there's another oasis and some more desert hills. Right now I'm wondering whether or not I should make a play at the pyramids but I think I rather go for rapid expansion to get the most out of my free monuments. The extra culture into God King civic should give me one of the first pantheon picks but need to see more terrain to be sure what to take.

Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
Gotta say, Civ 6 and Steam don't seem to be giving me any notifications of when my turn is up. Or at least, none that I've seen. Is there any way to fix that?

Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
There is, but I have been poking around, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where that setting is. I get turn notifications for my turn, but I cannot for the life of me find where the option is in steam. I just stumbled upon it at one point, but I can't find it again. Whenever I get my next turn notification I'll post a link to where the notifications can be found because, frustratingly, that's where I think that setting is, but I can't find where it is without there being a turn notification!
Edit, this should work:Code:https://steamcommunity.com/id/[your Steam username]/gamenotifications/

I like to see the terrain. With yields on it just looks messy and cluttered to me.
Right now my plan is to archer rush my first neighbor or two after expanding south west into some nice floodplains + desert hills. Need to find where Archery is in the random tree though.

Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
Spoiler: Spectators"The explorations have been going well! We have come across natives of this planet who are willing to ply us with gold in exchange for tales of the stars, and our scouts have come across something truly remarkable. Something that my father would prattle on about for no end. A plant called 'tea'."
"We do not as of yet possess what is needed to refine this in vast quantities, but we believe that, from the tales that were told about it, this will surely bring us great advancements with its apparently-magical properties."
"There are, unfortunately, those who are more hostile to us... but we will prevail."
So... I feel this is a very, very good start. That's a spicy-looking place for a second city, and the fact that it's a resource that boosts Science seems like it will be very nice combine with the hilly area to lay down some mines. A Settler is coming, right after that Warrior. The only roadblock at that point is going to be finding the stupid technology to give campuses.
Only further thing I could have wished for would be a Scientific City-state for a better jump-start, but you can't have everything.The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep.~ That's your horoscope for today.

Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
Spoiler: SpectatorsYeah, I am feeling a lot better this game. As opposed to the one that just finished, wherein I had perpetual tundra, and exactly one city state that I knew of for the longest time.
...Or the other one that we don't talk about.
Needless to say, I don't think I'll win, but I feel like I'll give a much greater showing of myself this time!

Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
Spoiler: SpectatorsJust got my pantheon! I guess the free builder on Fertility Rites and free settler on Religious Settlements only appear in GS, so that's a pity. Goddess of the Harvest is available, which is interesting because I've heard that can be pretty busted. But in the end I took Earth Goddess, since my coastal and island cities can benefit from it a lot and it's nice to have some passive faith income.

We have found a natural wonder, the Dead Sea! This will help us expand our understanding of the world. We will dispatch a research team as soon as possible to study this.
We also find fertile lands to the East. These lands can help us feed our researchers, and fuel further scientific research.
And the discovery of the Dead Sea has provided a breakthrough on Astrology, our first efforts at exploring and understanding the skies.
[Also, I double checked in case I made an error, but I did settle on spices. As soon as I research irrigation, they will be a boon for our capitol.]

Erm ... I'm not if this is what you meant, or if it's correct, but I'm pretty sure if you settle on a resource you only get the base yields of the resource, not the improvement bonus, even if you have the relevant technology. Could be wrong though.
Spoiler: Eurus
Pity that your capital is smack bang in the middle of the island, you might have been able to fit in maybe 3 cities if it was closer to a coast. Still got a decent 2nd city to the south though, and it's a nice start in general!

Re: Civ6itp3: Random Encounters.
Spoiler: SpectatorsI don’t know for sure, but it should be generating a gold, which isn’t showing up on the yield icons. That leads me to believe I need irrigation for it, but like I said. We will see. Not a huge deal if I don’t get it, since it’s still boosting food in the capital.

Spoiler: Right, should probably Spectator Update"Expansion here is going swimmingly. We've found resources aplenty, and the right positions to make the most of our research facilities! Just, uh, just as soon as we can figure out how to get those together."
"Unfortunately, it seems like we'll end up with very little space to expand after our fourth colony, so we are currently beginning a campaign to venture forth onto the oceans, as well as search eastward."
"Below our civilization is rather quite disappointing - too hot or too cold, and far too few resources to bootstrap ourselves up. We have yet encountered another scouting party, though we are uncertain whether they're hostile, or even able to communicate.
