There is something the fourms and reddit all agree on? What does that even mean, truly engage? What level of engagement is truly? You are saying they don't listen but seems to me that they look, read, and, at times, engage with the fan base all over. Just because they don't act on every single...

Unlikely any. Friaxis doesn't like to hype compete with itself. My guess is they let this game come out and breathe a little before they make any more announcements. That being said, I think they will have another game release in fall of next year and have just been a little backed up due to...

Have been playing since Civ II, have the tech tree that came in the box as a poster in my office. Civ II will always be my favorite version of Civ. Played the most of CiV and least of Civ IV, but that is basically just due to timing of those games and my own life. Every iteration will do some...

There was a leak about an XCOM style game that was it, 2K didn't present any games at their panel this year. That being said, I wouldn't expect to have news about multiple franchises from Friaxis they tend to not have competing marketing plans in place, as such I would expect that it is XCOM's...

The leak was there is a turn-based strategy game using the Marvel IP in development, it is described as X-Com like game with Marvel characters. So it is an XCOM game like Gears Tactics was an XCOM game, or how any turn-based squad game is an "XCOM game".

By all accounts it would make sense they are done on the dev cycle, but those public comments, I don't think would make that definitive. He very easily could have meant final game update for the NFP and just phrased it awkwardly. Giving pressers can always be a bit of trouble when you are trying...

I would disagree with that. Civ is not really marketing dependent at all, and these are certainly not typical marketing videos (while I am sure they are edited and approved by the higher ups). It generally seems, to me, that these are devs who are just happy with what they made and actually...

Then I would still say Civ VI does what you are looking for even more so. Taking your England example they "just hold more artifacts" well if you want to optimize that you can from T1. Holding more artifacts requires both the space and the artifacts themselves so you force battles in your land...

Well I would say that by your assessment that Civ VI does MORE of what you want. For instance Egypt means you need to find and capitalize on all the flood plains possible (you may have some due to start bias, but maybe you need to seek more out). And yes there are many that deal with city...

I am confused on what civs from Civ V gave you that sense of planning just from their leader screen? Because of all the games I would say that Civ VI have way more direction than CIv V for playstyle. For instance, the Aztec gain culture on kill is the EXACT same as Gorgo gain culture on kill...

So play Gorgo, that is basically her exact ability. Ultimately no Civ game has very strong abilities in the civs, the goal has always been to not lock you into one playstyle so you can adapt to the gamestate you are given. Civ VI isn't much different then previous iterations, the vast majority...

I have a framed poster of Civ II on my wall, and am about as long-term a fan of the series as there is. You don't speak for me, so kindly keep my name out your mouth. To say they don't care is disingenuous at best and an outright lie at worst. The long-term support and their acknowledgement of...

Ah this 'ol chestnut. Every civ "deserves" to be in the game, there are all on the table. It really comes down to what the devs want to do from a gameplay or stylistic stance and then find the matching civ.

Yeah they are all usually noted for it. Although I think that fact is somewhat misleading, I think it is far more noted in history simply due to the juxtaposition of the fact they were tolerant to something even some "peaceful" rulers were intolerant of while being so overtly violent elsewhere.

Kublai viewed himself as a religious figure and he was also surprisingly tolerant of religious diversity, something faith based would make sense for him.
