    I'm playing as Russia. I see that my starting location is a Russia heaven full of tundra, wonders and vodka so I choose to focus on religion and lay back. Around turn 30 I meet England and the USA far far away behind a huge Jungle. US is super friendly at first. England is being a dick.
    10 turns later both of them declare war on me at the same time. Not a joint war - for some reason both of them thought it will be a good idea to go after a nation far far away that is doing nothing but to lay back and drink vodka.
    10/10 realism.

    Tip: Get trade routes to your own cities first for the roads and then at the end because trading with your own cities yields far more production than you'll get from foreign cities which is vital for late game production.

Still incredible and excited to eventually use a thermonuclear bomb on the Spanish for cramping my style.

      as someone who has played both, i can say that overall civ 6 is better, yes you can argue that civ 5 in its current state has more content, but that's because it has a shit ton of expansions packed on, civ 6 currently is almost just as fleshed out as civ 5 and that's only in its vanilla state with no expansion. if givin time, i think civ 6 will be the best civ game currently released

  • @KingstonHawke

    I've been playing this game off and on since the day it came out, and I love it! Especially with the two new DLCs that completely change the game (although they could stand some tweaking to the logic). My only real complaint, and it really just seems like an oversight, is that you still can't deconstruct in this game. It really makes no sense. In real life, cities demolish their own constructs all of the time. Total War doesn't have this issue, and it's probably the biggest thing that makes Total War superior to Civ. I thought it would be solved with time, but now I'm hoping that people complain enough and it gets fixed via DLC.
    Please vote this comment up if you're here years later and just want the ability to deconstruct buildings/districts.

    • @KingstonHawke
      @KingstonHawke 3 роки тому

      @@borisbear1885 Sorry, but there's nothing about what you said that makes sense. Have you played Total War 3K? You're allowed to deconstruct and it doesn't dramatically affect the difficulty of the game. If it did, they could just create a way to make it costly. Maybe making it affect happiness.
      In Civ you don't even get to plan half of the time, you're just stuck with whatever districts were built before you took the city. I don't even like the one district type per city limit. If I want to put two encampments in the same city, allow me. There would be enough penalties based on the imbalance of the city. What they shouldn't resort to is making things very unrealistic.
      Literally, it's a game about history where you can't deconstruct buildings. That's not historically accurate at all.

    As someone whos been playing civ since 2001, I have to say this is the most 'complete' from release Civ I think I've ever played. And I don't know why its not been said often, but the most impressive part is that they've pretty much encapsulated nearly all DLC's from civ 4 and 5 in 6s first release (something that made Civ 5 really disappointing was how bare-bones it was at v1)
    Also, this has been their best multiplayer experience so far too. Faster speed, allows for Mods again, and the pitboss mode is far more stable.

  • @priorwitness
    @priorwitness 7 років тому +3

    Civilization 2 is one of my all time favorite games. 3 was such a let down compared to 2 that I didn't get 4 until Civ 5 was released, and then 4 had changed so much compared to 2 & 3 that to this day I've never been able to take the time to sit down and really dig into it. So I obviously completely missed 5 and it seems that in hindsight that ended up being a good thing. So I don't know if I'll try this one. Just the other day I reinstalled Civ 4 to give it another go since I have yet to really play it. Civ 6 looks very cool but I'm probably waiting until it hits the $20 mark to even consider buying it since I'm so far behind the curve.

    There is also Eureka and Inspiration system you didn't mention. Every science and civics research has an optional objective under it. And if you complete it,you get half of that research done immediately,even if you aren't researching that. For example when you build your first pasture,you get half of horseback riding research for free. I think this system is really important. Especially in harder difficulties and multiplayer,where you have to do stuff most efficiently. This system makes a lot of sense too. What you do,and what you encounter basically shapes your future trough tech bonuses. If you are going for early military, you are that much likely to get military science AND civic (culture) bonuses,and that way you won't get left behind for producing military.

    The game is great, it feels like an updated and improved version of Civ5. I'm not a fan of the art but it is growing on me, but I do find myself using the strategy view more often and that's not a good sign. There are a lot of minor improvements that I feel need to be worked on, the mini map is too small, the unit bubbles are too big, and the districts look too similar to each other when in drawn map form. But these are just little things, the game is great, buy it.

    Ive been playing since civ 3 and while i like some ideas in civ 6, like the black void fog of war replaced with a map, and while civ 6 works within itself, it just doesnt feel right after 2 playthroughs. I like the idea of districts but to implement them meant changing so much that its almost a domino effect. Districts mean less improvements, and workers become builders with limited charge....then repairs become 1 turn (having repairs last multiple turns was good incentive to not have them destroyed in the first place), as builders became limited, thus roads became automatically placed by trade. Military engineers now needed for strategic roads....etc

    They brought in some stuff from older games like government changing but also added new stuff like the bonus military and economic and etc cards and like culture tree that researches like science. (Correct me if I am wrong). But the biggest improvement I've seen so far is the AI. AI. It's much more fun now. Before it felt kinda passive and just plain simple but now it's active, it's not afraid of war, it's just more decisive. Like that time when the Americans had a huge army of spearman while only having two cuties but being friendly with all others, which was weird but also kinda cool because it munched the big stick agenda.

    Civ 6 on the switch is very interesting. At first I never played it because it was a very intimidating game to learn. But now that we’re all under quarantine I have finally learned how to play it and I really like all the visuals and stuff. Of course I play it on TV because the switch screen itself does not give it enough visual space to display everything in great detail.

    After playing many games of civ 6 I can just say that it's all about picking the spots with the highest food yield or you wont be able to grow your cities much at all. Civ 5 was more forgiving due to various buildings which boosted food production. In civ 6 it's almost entirely up to tiles to produce your food supply which will determine how many districts you can have for each city. I tend to end up with a lot of 1 and 2 district cities.

    • @jackolantern6172

      Yeah and the game has a penchant of really screwing you with resources sometimes, while they give other Civs tons of resources. You can try to rough it out but the game will be SO SLOW that you might as well just make a new game and pray you get a halfway decent start. A lot of cultures kind of suck too.

      I get it, I do, 'gamers' these days demand grit and realism... I just want good gameplay. So what if the graphics are terrible, (these are not) - they represent hard numbers and there's a LOT MORE to represent.

      Dumb down the graphics or the engine would "conk out" ? Your talking out your ass. I develop games in UE4 and this art style hasnt anything to do with the engine. Its a marketing choice. When a dev wants to reach a wider auidence, they go with the lowest denominator, ie the cartoony graphics were seeing here.
      The same thing recently happend with Dawn of War III. Removed the cover system and went with cartoony graphics in order to appeal to the mass markets. I see where the devs are coming from, but call it as it is. Dont make excuses for them.

    @kfirlevy7635 7 років тому +10

    In my opinion this game is good, its launch is good, its potential is just great, and I know it'll be realized. But the game still has its problems:
    Civs declare war on you for no reason. Civs almost ALWAYS break their promises, even if they are your friends or allies. I once had abug where Russia declared war on me for no reason, and then I saw my own leader declare war on MYSELF, then I met Egypt and we immediately were in war (probably they declared war on me before I even met them, and cuz I didn't meet them it showed my skin and not Cleopatra's). The discuss system is not that impressive, and I really think they should let you ask for civs to not do things (settle near you or convert your cities) before they begin doing it, and that you could ask for them to move their forces out of your cities, because that can really annoy me sometimes.
    Overall, I know in a few months after the patches the bugs will be fixed, and then the game will be really great.

It's the second bug I encounter (other one was being stuck on "unit needs orders") that has apparently been solved by saving and reloading the save
