Re: Civilization 6

Do I ever hate trailers that don't show actual gameplay.

It will be interesting to see what they try to add.

Well this all it says on Steam:

About This Game

Originally created by legendary game designer Sid Meier, Civilization is a turn-based strategy game in which you attempt to build an empire to stand the test of time. Become Ruler of the World by establishing and leading a civilization from the Stone Age to the Information Age. Wage war, conduct diplomacy, advance your culture, and go head-to-head with history’s greatest leaders as you attempt to build the greatest civilization the world has ever known.

Civilization VI offers new ways to engage with your world: cities now physically expand across the map, active research in technology and culture unlocks new potential, and competing leaders will pursue their own agendas based on their historical traits as you race for one of five ways to achieve victory in the game.

EXPANSIVE EMPIRES:

See the marvels of your empire spread across the map like never before. Each city spans multiple tiles so you can custom build your cities to take full advantage of the local terrain.

ACTIVE RESEARCH:

Unlock boosts that speed your civilization’s progress through history. To advance more quickly, use your units to actively explore, develop your environment, and discover new cultures.

DYNAMIC DIPLOMACY:

Interactions with other civilizations change over the course of the game, from primitive first interactions where conflict is a fact of life, to late game alliances and negotiations.

COMBINED ARMS:

Expanding on the “one unit per tile” design, support units can now be embedded with other units, like anti-tank support with infantry, or a warrior with settlers. Similar units can also be combined to form powerful “Corps” units.

ENHANCED MULTIPLAYER:

In addition to traditional multiplayer modes, cooperate and compete with your friends in a wide variety of situations all designed to be easily completed in a single session.

A CIV FOR ALL PLAYERS:

Civilization VI provides veteran players new ways to build and tune their civilization for the greatest chance of success. New tutorial systems introduce new players to the underlying concepts so they can easily get started.

Re: Civilization 6

Awesome news. I was literally playing V the other night on a new playthrough and was hoping a new game would be out this year.

I really hope the diplomacy is worked on big time. I've felt that has been one of the weaker parts of V since release. Take some of the diplomacy from the EU series and add it to this game and build off of everything else that Civ already does so well and I'll be very happy.

Re: Civilization 6

My friend just tagged me in the announcement on Facebook. Can't wait, this day keeps getting better! Eh, I never got the last Civ expansion. I need to get on that now.

Great link! Btw October 21 is a Friday so we get a weekend to binge! I went ahead and took that day off now while it was still available

The one thing that makes me very happy to see is that nothing will get stripped in this game. When Civ 5 came out it was missing features Civ 4 had, so it's great to see Espionage, tourism, religions, and trade return.

I loved Civ 4, Civ 5 not so much, except for this:

Art direction looks like tablet/mobile shovelware

Re: Civilization 6

I literally just bought Civ V a month ago. I like it, but it's an incremental change (as all Civ's seem to be).

I like all the changes that the Polygon article covered, and frankly it seems that they should have been in Civ V. But I don't like the more "painterly" style of art that the games seem to be going to. I'd like to see them go back to a more photorealistic art style, but I guess that's purely a matter of taste.

Re: Civilization 6

I played the heck out of Civ 5 but it was my first Civ game. So I can't compare it to previous games. Looking forward to this.

I agree. I know the art direction isn't suppose to be an important part of a strategy game like this but surely they can do better than what was shown.

I've played them all since the original Microprose Civilization on my 386 way back in the day. Other than it being 2-D and the units literally being tiles w/ icons in them for infantry, tank, etc., it's pretty remarkable how little has changed in 25 years or so. Until Civ V, the strategy was basically build up a gigantic stack of innumerable spearmen/warriors/whatever and spend an entire turn sending units at a city until the dice rolled in your favor. Even if the city you were attacking had tanks and you had partisans, you'd eventually win given enough rolls of the dice.

I do agree with the interview on the Polygon preview that basically talked about how everyone settles into playing the same way every time. I've been doing essentially the same thing in that game across 5 versions for a quarter century. It's probably time they re-thought the whole "found a city --> build a granary --> build an aqueduct --> build walls --> etc." rut that most people find themselves falling into immediately.
