I’m not sure if this is a Mac problem, but I have a heck of a time I switch from my 1980x1020 display to the 1440x900 on my laptop. It’s a real pita to change the resolutions in-game when this happens. The launcher won’t let me change the resolution.
Is there an easy way I am missing?
Civ V or Civ VI? Civ V was always felt pretty unstable with multiple resolutions.
I do not think there’s an easy way for it to automatically change to a valid resolution, aside from deleting (or making an option file to swap out) the AppOptions.txt file in ~/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier’s Civilization VI/ folder.
So, does this mean Civ VII is imminent? The words final free make me think it’s near the end, since they group general updates in here.

Hopefully they follow what they did with Civ5 and release the modding tools so the community can fix this one too.
Civ7? I’ll wait until that happens before buying this time. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, JFC what am I doing I’m not going to do that again.
Of course, since this is the internet and we’re supposed to be jaded and cynical bastards, maybe they just mean they’re gonna charge for all the bugfixes and updates after this! :)
It’s hard to imagine that they won’t want to do something / cash in on the 30th anniversary of the series.

I don’t think so. Half of the content they’ve been working on this last year has been free to the community. I think this is just the last drop of that regularly scheduled content.

The Vox Populi mod did a lot for the game, including AI improvements.
I like how this time they said “final free update of the season!”

I haven’t played in a long time and am starting up again with both expansions and I ran into an icon I can’t figure out (this is on Console and there isn’t a tooltip for it — although there might be on PC). Looking at the list for each civilization status shown below there’s Gold, Culture, Science, a Sword (presumably representing total unit strength), followed by some sort of gold star in a circle, then Diplomatic Favor, and Faith.
What does the Circle containing the Gold Star (showing 190 value for Australia, 145 for India, 137 for France, and 83 for the Zulus) represent?
Looking up the star icon, it seems to indicate the Capital of your empire in Civ VI. As to what that number represents, I’m guessing it’s some kind of indicator of strength of your Capital city?
I’m pretty sure that is the score of the player, just in case you get to the point of a score victory mattering.
The values represent World Ranking. Click on the top icon in the right margin for a breakdown for each nation and where they rank in each category.
The new True Start Location huge world map is wonderful but you have to modify the available civilizations before you start a game. Mentally divide the world into sections; Africa, Asia Pacific, Americas and Europe/Mediterranean.
If you leave the game to it’s own devices, because European and Mediterranean civs are overrepresented in the pool of civs, that region will become a terrible starting location for those civs.
So make a pool of civs for the game to choose from if you don’t want to hand pick each civ for your game. Make sure you evenly represent the regions in your pool. It’s not foolproof but now you have an excellent change of a well-rounded game.
I notice the latest balance update has nerfed Sinbad.
