A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I've been getting back into Sid Meier's Civilization 6 again and am actually going for victories. Because I want to really understand the mechanics I'm just playing with the base ruleset and won a religious victory and am now going for domination.
The problem is that the one more turn mindset is consuming me.
I somehow reached 200 hours in that game in just a few months. Civ 6 is a gem like that.
Is it aweful I turn off Domination victories? (and score victories but I assume many folks do this).
200 hours and I still have to look up how to gain a science victory because it takes sooo longg.
Do whatever floats your boat. I personally dislike diplomatic victory (I once got it accidentally and it was so unsatisfying), so I turned it off.
Every time I try a newer Civ title, I end up just going back and doing a Civ IV playthough.
