Civilization 7

The game millennia kinda flopped and had some serious flaws, but, the evolving ages and the varying choices were very cool. The age mechanic they're putting in c7 could be really awesome if done well. The evolving civ background also can be pretty decent, since you arent locked in from turn 1 and also arent themed or based on uu timing for all ins, or pick an early war setup but then try to evolve into late game econ or vice versa.

Basically the ideas themselves sound good, on top of the tile monopoly cleanup, makes it sound like a good thing. I'm not sure I trust them enough to preorder, but my hopes are SLIGHTLY up for a decent civ game. I think eu4 and stellaris each have 10x the steam hours of civ 5 and 6 for me. I'd like to have a slightly less intense and chill game to play. Hopefully by the 2nd dlc this is it...

For some reasons, my pleasure in Civ games is to manage my mines, towns, irrigation, etc. I loved in a previous version when you could have trade post on special ressources far away, that was awesome and I dearly miss. Civ 6 was a complete miss by me since I found the system to be oversimplified.

Well, if anyone is looking for a new-ish 4X game that is fantasy and fairly complex, may I suggest Dominions 6. I sunk 1000+ hours into the 4th game with Warhammer races on a huge DnD map, and they mostly have just added mechanics on top of the older games, so they are very similar:

The fall sale might see another 30% off sale.

I'll probably try this. Usually try each one. But I spent an incredible amount of my time in III and IV. Every one after that had better graphics but were basically the same game. Which is fine, it's a good formula and it wouldn't be a Civ game if they didn't follow it. But been there done that. Kind of tired of all the 4x games.

Civ 4 multiplayer before the expansions was an amazing bloodbath. 8+ people ffa was crazy cut-throat fun. I miss it. =(

yea in civ 4 it was just a hammer designed to death ball up and advance at you. cheap shots and all. 5+ , i guess due to single unit occupation and hex movements the ai shit itself trying to find a new route. i hated it man. I'd rather some one make a square ass death ball version of civ again.


but i guess instead we're getting "play a new kingdom each age lol"

I heard that this will be online-only? Dealbreaker for me, if so...

How else can they pipe you no name hippo women historical figures

I can't wait for Harriet Tubman to be a leader and I spend the whole game stealing everyone else's settlers

The only way to enjoy civ 6 is emperor difficulty imo. You get cheated pretty hard early game but you can catch up mid and have pretty decent runs. I wouldn’t play it but it’s the only grand strat that’s ported well to an ipad and nice to fart around on in the evening when watching TV. Almost any other of the big name grand strats are better.

This. You have to play emperor difficulty for a challenge. Even THAT only matters early game, because once you hit the industrial era, it's like the AI doesn't attack, just go all in on a goal like the space race or something.

I miss the cat and mouse game from civ 4. Bronze age axe and spears and chariots dancing in squares to guard structures, while waiting for that second axeman to build so you can stack them for a proper army

Just saw this pop up on my Tubes.
