In 2015, we'll have the option to buy the Collector's Edition of Civ VI, which comes with five sizes of real-life hard-cloth (washable but do not tumble dry) maps for Duel, Small, Standard, Large, and Earth, and we will be playing civilization with a spectacle display (weighing just 65 grams) using augmented virtual reality. We will be moving units around the map with a special glove.
Players choosing not to buy Collector's Edition could still use any compatible head-mount augmented virtual reality kit, since these now come standard, replacing the mouse (often the keyboard as well) for all but the most obscure systems.
Single player games can choose to be played online, loggin on to the Sid Meier's Civilization Core, a quantum super computer that records and analyses player strategies and tactics around the globe, and applying the results in real time to improve AI skill. There are rumors that the SMCC is actually a top secret US Institute of Strategic and Tactical Computing (ISTC) project, using data from video game patterns around the world to design tests and training that improve military personnel's strategic and tactical abilities. SMCC also provides the same AI service to other well-known strategy game franchises.
