A decent PC is surely the optimum way to play it but they've done a really good job of the console ports, they work very well.

Seems a bit underwhelming so far in my experience. If you're going to add zombies to Civ then I expect them to cause total chaos and they certainly aren't.

A little bland but I like the synergy with both Mongolia and China, he should be fairly easy to use effectively. I am also a big fan of the dual leader idea, I wish there were more.

It often seems that the dominant theme here is criticism and dissatisfaction, much of it justified, but I think that is misleading; I know many people who are not 'fanatics' who absolutely love the game, and I love the game myself, I think it's just the nature of this forum. Step outside the...

With respect, the problem seems to be that you want to highlight the 'known issue' of overcrowded starts by posting screenshots of them but to everyone else these just look like ordinary Civ VI starts that are not especially overcrowded. Your options are therefore as Gedemon suggested, you...

I found Arthur to be very powerful, I captured all four of Arabia's cities with just him and the four questing knights before they came to the end of their lifespan. Sure, when they died I was left with no military at all, but I also didn't have a neighbour so it wasn't a bother.

An early rampage with King Arthur and his questing knights is just as satisfyingly savage as you would hope. Can't help but feel any vestiges of balance that were left have been completely vanquished but at least it's fun!

Heroes is a really fun mode, although I think they are too war focused, especially since war is already the most efficient way to win. Babylon are great fun, really enjoyed playing as them. They felt very powerful though, being able to keep pace in science without wasting any production on...

You said 'out on Civ' not 'out on Civ VI', so I inferred that you meant the franchise. Civ VI has had a long life already, I can completely understand moving on and waiting to see what VII has to offer.

'Out on Civ for good' is needlessly absolute, wouldn't you say? Humankind looks cool, I'm looking forward to giving it a try, but I suspect it won't completely replace Civ VI for me.

I fine with the changes I guess but I wish they would acknowledge that the World Congress is a bit pants and then fix it, by far my biggest issue.

Played my first full dramatic ages games yesterday and yeh I won't be trying that mode again, I found the instant city flipping upon reaching a dark age to be entirely infuriating. Hope others enjoy it but it's not for me!

Harold for me, always there and always useless.

I like the game modes for multiplayer, they spice it up. Don't usually bother for single player though. In general I consider it £40 well spent even if there are still problems that I would like to see resolved.

The AI has been pretty good in the early game for some time now, on higher difficulties they can easily crush you and they're always ahead in science/culture. What I find frustrating is their inability to convert this into a victory, something goes wrong in the mid to late game where the AI just...
