I don't think it's that they won't enjoy it as much (but they might, studies have shown male gamers enjoy games less that have female leads), it's simply giving them the option. Besides, unless you're a female, we're just a sausage fest talking about what women should like or not like, and that...

Civ IV is definitely better than Civ VI. With all its expansions. Comparing the base game of Civ 6 against other Civ games with all their expansions is unfair.

It'd be cool to see England get a medieval leader (since at least in the Anglo world their medieval history is fairly popular). Give them William the Conquerer/Edward I or for a bit later in time Henry VIII/Elizabeth I.

Depends what you're interested in. Australia is arguably a top 3 civilization in the game, so if you want a very powerful one, I'd choose them (though they are not allowed in some multiplayer leagues if you do plan on playing much multiplayer). The viking scenario doesn't seem like much at first...

I don't think Firaxis needs to abide by some arbitrary historical significance number and include, in general, many more men than women. I like having a mixture of both. More the merrier in fact. I really like that the game has the opportunity to have multiple leaders per Civ so that we can have...

I don't know what the map packs cost in Civ 5 at launch, but I wouldn't mind a pack of 3-5 maps for the cost of a bottle of coke.

Is anyone else a little bit surprised we haven't gotten very many new maps (and no map pack DLC at all) by this point? I'm dying for a remake or a better version of the Island Plates map, and especially a Terra map (with an entirely unsettled continent that you can get to with cartography and...

Should've bought the deluxe edition.

I have been playing on King, as well, if that makes a difference.

When you get a boost or eureka it will go over there now to remind you.

I just got done playing a full game with a friend in MP vs AIs. From the start they were wanting to declare friendships with me, and it lasted the entire game for both of us. What's weird is that, for instance, with Alexander I had a +12 modifier but also a -11 modifier but he was still...

The AI is waaay too friendly now. Almost to the point where it feels like a bug. Just completed a MP game (me and a friend vs AIs) and on both our continents we were declared friends with all civs up until the end game. I like that civs aren't at your throat from the start, but there has to be...

It seemed to me they were simply using Civ 4 as the graphical influence.

You'll need to accept that as you go up in difficult you will never be 1st in all areas, whether it be highest population, science, culture, etc. Lagging behind is not that big a deal if you're focusing on your victory condition. For instance, I always lag behind in the early stages because I'm...

How is that impression more accurate than not when the game released with roughly the same number of civs that Civilization has always released with? Not to mention Civ 6 released with more systems than any Civ prior to it.
