I am overwhelmed with information. And joy.
People thinking that this is just a new coat of paint over civilization 5 are in for a huge surprise. While the very core of the game remains the same (hexes, 1UPT, food making cities grow, trade routes, etc), the small changes add up to an entirely different, far richer and deep gameplay style than previous games:
- Terrain actually makes a difference
- Micromanaging makes a difference
- Civilizations are flavourful and far more differenciated than ever
- Change to the rules of movement completely changes combat
- Different culture & tech trees makes for a higher degree of civ specialization
- Religion is now an end into itself rather than a means to an end
- Expansion mechanics are turned upside down
- The change for workers to insta-builders opens up thousand of new strategies
- Unique great persons & wonder terrain conditions makes for greater replayability
In short, civilization 6 is poised to surpass civ 5 and probably 4 too. This game is going to be truthy special, mark my words. Will probably have far better scores in metacritic at launch than any other vanilla civ iteration, too.
