    Base or rise and fall ?

    I also think you should go straight to R&F. The new features make it a lot better. (It's my favourite version of all the Civs now...)

    My take on why Civ 6 will be a bad game, a 3 pt. podcast

    And yet you can comment on a game that you haven't played?

    Realism vs symbolism - or why Civilization isn't a Paradox game

    The dimmer switch in my sitting room seems to do just fine. :)

    Civilization gameplay: degrees of simulation

    Well since Civ the computer game took a number of ideas from the 1980 board game of the same name, I'm not surprised. And as a big player of Eurogames ("designer" board games) I have no problem with this. Civ is an abstract game; it's never going to be anything like realistic - it's not...

    "Builders" as the new Workers... now with charges.

    I guess that the builders represent construction resources that you have to firstly acquire, then move into position before finally exploiting. So it's more like a combination of logistics and resources - seems like a reasonable game mechanic to me.

    Old timer's, what are your thoughts so far?

    I started with Civ I. I actually very much enjoyed Civ V after its expansion, and play it instead of any previous versions. From what I've seen so far of Civ VI, I'm going to like that even better!

    Is Sean Bean Confirmed as the narrator?

    I'd like Diane Morgan as the narrator. :)

    Is the promise of no go to-tactic just a PR stunt?

    A PR Stunt is a "planned event designed to attract the public's attention to the event's organizers or their cause". So no, this is manifestly not a PR stunt. However, perhaps the OP just misused the phrase, and really meant something else, such as "marketing spin".

    Pyramids can be built only on desert tiles

    The smaller blue stones were transported from Wales. The much larger sarsens came from within 25 miles.

    God damn this game is good

    At first, I wasn't very sure about it. But now I've played it for many hours, I love it. :)

    Worst version of Civ EVER?

    You really can't expect polls on forums like these to mean anything. All it does is to prove that people are idiots. :)

    A warning from a 'fanboi'

    Over-defensive responses like that devalue the points you are trying to make you know. I fear the damage has already been done.

    The AI is ok? Really?! Then watch this.

    The first (small) patch is out, and one of the things it claims to fix is: "AI valuation of cities in trades and peace deals improved."

    Wait for the patch before you buy.

    How is that job behind the counter in Game going?
