Civilization VI

I'm waiting on this one until there are some sort of reviews or reveals about multiplayer. Still not even sure if they will have hot seat local multiplayer in it that Civ 5 had as there has been basically 0 talk about multiplayer.

They are doing MP on stream today.


GMG has the game for sale for about $50 when you add it to the cart on their site.

Sid Meier's Civilization® VI only $59.99 at Green Man Gaming!

PC gamer gave this game the same score they gave launch Civ 5, a 93.

I'm going to wait a few days and trust what I hear from you bro's. I want to hear from someone that has 4-5 play through's. I mean, I would have probably given Civ 5 a 90/100 or so on first play... but by the 3rd game, I was fucking bored to tears and pretty much hated it.

Still holding out hope that this is as good as the hype machine says it is.

I'm being tempted by this. I haven't bought a game at launch since GTA5.

Not sleeping tonight. Been theorycrafting city-placement diagrams on my D&D hex maps to have a "baseline" for how effectively you can overlap districts for shared bonuses, and whether the third ring of the city actually matters. Most of the streams don't seem to be hitting very high Population #s in their end game, but that could just be not having housing/growth stuff worked out proper yet.

River, OIdgrowth Forest, and Mountains are important enough that I don't think there'll be a "just build this cluster of cities" template go to.

Not really liking it. Feels pretty much like a sequel to Civ V so fans of that one should be happy but doesn't do it for me.

downloading the full demo first.

Probably have to wait for two expansions for it to be not utter shit anyways

wow, encampment AND city center can fire on enemies now? I really hope it's not gonna be twice as strong as a Civ 5 City, that would just be fucking absurd.

I hope they fixed ranged and siege units this time around. The glaring flaw of BNW...

Just played for 5 minutes this morning before leaving. Graphics are ok, UI is very small ( I didnt check the option if I can adjust it), what bothered me was that I can't move freely over the map by moving the mouse to the side of the screen, I have to middle-click on a tile to center the screen on it. bummer.

Definitely plenty of new things to figure out. Balancing the Civics selections should be interesting. I'm going to avoid spoilers for a little while, so figuring out districts and such will be a process. There's some UI and convenience stuff that bugs me (though that might just be because I was so used to the good UI mods from Civ 5). Three hours in, I'm enjoying it, but haven't really gotten a chance to interact with the AI too much (starting out on an Islands map).


I have to say, I really hate that there isn't a restart game button on the first turn. It's cheesy but I really liked being able to get to a starting area I was happy with. Now I have to go to the main menu and reselect everything each time.

You might go to Users/YouName/Documents/My Games/Civilization VI and open UserOptions.txt.

Find this and change it to 1:

;Enables always-on screen edge scrolling, 0 = off
EdgePan 0

Yes you can, just set it in your options. Its not on by default is all.

Also I'm probably retarded but how the hell do you promote a unit once its earned one?

First press X to pay respects.

Tempted by this, but after 5 and BE I'm just not sure firaxis is capable anymore.

Maybe in a few months. Stellaris is scratching the itch, even though once you hit breakout in that game then running the map is a foregone conclusion. I've still managed to lose a few stellaris games though. Sometimes the AI will get wise and pre preemptively gangland your butthole inside out.

Running mostly fine so far. Was a glitch where the promotion button on units wasnt showing up but a reload fixed that. Also, if you do the tutorial dont build something before the tutorial asks you to. If it decides to ask you for it midway through producing it you wont like what (doesnt) happen next. Ever again.

Also, Norway is a pack of homicidal fuckers.

1. I hate how you can't mouse over terrain to see the terrain anymore
2. Can't turn off resource icons with usual key binds
3. Key binds anyways? B was bombard for range attack and for Found City. Since no ranged units could found cities, and settles couldn't bombard, this worked. Now it doesn't anymore.
4. "Wait" command removed completely, like in BE. fuckers.
5. Why are there explosions when warriors fight spearmen?
