* General Quality of Life Fixes: small things that improve the gameplay. In order to compensate for more units being trainable and clogging up the map, corps and armies unlock sooner on the civics tree. It also increases the cost of upgrading units to make this less of a One Right Choice answer. RB Mod keeps the early unit costs the same and decreases the cost of later units to make them more viable. The lategame units are also prohibitively expensive to build.

* Decrease Lategame Costs: we all know by now that the best way to train military in Civ6 is to build cheap early units and then upgrade them into more advanced units. RB Mod makes small tweaks to allow cities to grow faster, have more production available, and make infrastructure more viable. The housing cap is set too low (making food fairly unimportant), production is nearly impossible to obtain outside of hill tiles, and city infrastucture is mostly too expensive to be worth constructing. * Improve City Building: there are too many constraints on city building in the base game of Civ6. RB Mod uses the identical formula at first, then slowly lowers the scaling until it ends up at half the value of the base game at the end of the tech/civics tree. It works well in the earlier parts of the game, but the scaling becomes too great as the game continues. * Tone Down Scaling: the forest chops / resource harvests and the district costs both scale off of the same formula. (Note that this was written for the non-expansion base game of Civ6 and not anything that came later.) Main Goals

Listed below are the changes that I thought would most benefit the gameplay in a theoretical Civ6 mod.

What we found there was that many of the gameplay systems that worked well in the earlier stages of the gameplay started to fall apart in the lategame, and I proposed a series of tweaks to ameliorate some of these concerns. I was frustrated with some of the gameplay elements that had come into stark relief as we took a competitive Multiplayer game into the later stages of the Civ6 tech and civics tree for the first time.

Following the conclusion of the Play By Email #7 game at Realms Beyond, I put together a series of suggestions on how to make balance changes to the gameplay.
