Bad balance: players complain that Portugal in Civilization VI can get too much money
Less than a week ago, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI received the final expansion as part of the New Frontier Pass. It added Portugal with King João III. And it turned out that playing for the new faction is too easy: due to a poor balance, the power begins to accumulate gold at an incredible pace.
The main problem lies in Portugal’s unique abilitych is called the “Trade House of India.” It allows you to receive bonus gold for international trade routes. If you add to this other mechanics that affect income growth, then the income will be colossal.
As the portal PCGamesN reports, users on Reddit report that when playing for Portugal, income to the treasury in one move can easily be increased to 5-7 thousand gold. A user under the pseudonym acab__1312 managed to achieve an income of 13 thousand coins, but furscum became the record holder: in his campaign for Portugal, the number of funds received per move reached 23 thousand. With such income, the difficulties with creating armies and erecting buildings simply disappear.
As a reminder, according to developers at Firaxis Games, the New Frontier Pass has attracted more active players to Civilization VI than any previous expansion.
