Those are different types of choices. Civ6 is about which tiles to improve, while Civ5 is about which improvement to use. I wouldn't say it's implemented perfectly, but things like Farm vs. Trading Post could be quite fun if done right. And with improvements upgrading at different techs, you...

I've recently returned to Civ5 after playing Civ6 for a long time and it was totally new perspective, especially considering potential release of Civ7. Some observations: 1. Civ5 and Civ6 take concept of playing the land differently. While Civ6 great job at spreading cities with on-map...

Games are not defined by "features", they are defined by concepts. Civ5 was about 1 tile per unit and Tall viability. Civ6 was putting "play the land" to maximum and finally getting city specialization. From where, they try different things, usually expanding the set of options with things like...

I would really like to keep Civ concepts intact and not borrow from other games. There are games with separate tactical maps, cool, let them stay like this. There are hybrids between strategy games and sims by Paradox, they are fun to play on their own. But Civilization was always about playing...

While I hope for October 2023, it looks more realistic to see the game in 2024. The lack of information coming through means it's in the very early stages. Speaking about the game contents, it's really a tricky beast. While I dislike the amount of things they did in Civ 6, I could say from game...

Civ games usually have spin-offs using the same engine. Civ5 had sci-fi (AC remake), Civ4 had colonization remake, so... Fantasy is possible, and generally fits in. Microprose had "Master of Magic" game, they had Civ2 scenario based on it in expansion, they also had "Midgard" scenario. So, yep...

Most likely they'll just sit there until prerequisites are researched Envoys are for non-speciality districts like Aqueduct, plus for Governor Plaza

Any big or small feature(s) you would like to not see in the game? For me, it's World Congress. I really don't like this level of metagame outside the map. The game becomes immediately less interesting once the first WC message appears.

One of the funny things about Gaul is what you don't really need cities on the coast.

The change in displayed cost probably affected this control and old mods don't work well here. I'd recommend disabling mods on each patch anyway.

Isn't this is the max?

I usually don't like direct comparison of games with real life, but this made me laught. Theocracy as the best government for tourism (!) and rock bands (!!!) looks quite fun

Ranged and Anti-Cavalry aren't competitors, archers can't survive on their own without some cover.

I don't understand the whole discussion point here. The main point of AC units is - they don't require any resources. So they just can't be as strong as melee or cavalry units, or resources would be much less important. And this difference should be significant enough to play its role in any...

Yep. they are specialists since they produce food and gold without working any terrain :) In Civ5 you have a choice between working land or using specialists, so it was more or less balanced around this. In Civ6 it's more about choice between working land and building something on it. In this...
