In Civ6 the limitations of the AI is primarily the complexity of the mechanics present in the game, and it's not likely that the AI would ever become substantially more difficult unless Firaxis stripped back features in favour of a more simplistic design. Which is why people might find earlier versions of civ more difficult - taking away district placement and allowing for doom stacks would take a lot of burden off the AI, not to mention the many other layers of mechanics present in later versions of civ.
Incorrect. Modders, in their free time and without pay, managed to make the AI in Civ 5 10 times better while including more complex mechanics (Vox Populi). That clearly shows that it can be done. Firaxis either lacks the skillset or made their post-Civ 4 AI weak on purpose to appeal to the mass, casual market that probably does not want any challenge.
To the OP: LOL, hell yeah! This game has a lot of potential, but it's still on a long road, and some things are just inherently flawed, which I have no idea how will ever be solved or balanced to be honest.
My fingers crossed for the developers and I don't want to abandon the game, but it's on the shelf, and I'm afraid won't touching it for a while with the pace of its progress, so I'm back at moddding Civ5.
Just for some fun, I decided to load up Civ VI after spending a few hundred hours on Humankind.
I literally cannot play it anymore. There are so many annoying things right off the bat that Humankind has solved so I can say with confidence, Humankind has ruined Civ for me (Civ Vi...).
Firstly, you have to found a city right away without knowing whether it's an ideal spot or not. Or you restart a dozen times until you get a good looking map.
Then, you have your units which only move 1 space at a time, whereas in Humankind you have 4 moves.
Then, because of that barbarians ransack your improvements before you can get your troops back in time (they're off exploring because you need to see where to build a second city).
And this is just in the first several turns of the game.
I've said from the beginning that Humankind solved most of Civ's pet peeves that I had. But until playing Civ again, I never realized how annoying that game gets. i know not everyone will agree with me, but I'm just sharing my feeling. And I really hope the devs continue to improve and expand on this game because it's so fun.
I disagree, I find that Humankind is the annoying one to start. I have played a lot of maps where there is no bronze, no horses or luxury items. You can even start on those maps with out being wiped out by barbarian or an AI civ. Also barbarians, by the way how can they be called barbarian when they are way more advanced then most players?, are way tougher then civ.

Annoying because it's harder, if I understand correctly?
Funny, because Civ 6 is annoying to me because it is super easy.

agreed, I have a friend that has not bought this game yet and he is always trying to get me to play and Im like humankind is really better, and if you played the first version on civ 6 it was way worse then this. Humankind is just getting started
