Quick question about Civ VI

[ErBraciola]

Hello, as you can see from the title I have some question about the 6° chapter of the game:

- Is it worth buying it? What does it have new than the previous chapters (other than graphic improvements of course)? Like as mechanic setups etc... what's new on that side?

- Would it be helpful watching videos on Youtube other than reading replies here (if people will reply obviously) to be able to make the decision if buying it or not?

________________________

I'm not a super extra fan of the game, like having all the chapters and stuff like that, but of course I will do a game kinda often specially on the 5° game because well I just have that one lol I used to have the 4° too but it wasn't mine so I had to give it back, but I really loved the 4° and 5° chapter of this game and since the day the 6° came out I've always been curious to try it out, but obviously I rather hear some opinions before risking to waste money on a game that I will not like it and not play with it. Let me know if it's worth buying the game

As you say, there's no harm in watching some videos to see how it looks.

If you can get the game on the platinum deal sale, I would say it's very worth it. You will get the base game and both expansions for cheaper than what the base game normally costs. I would personally rate Civ VI higher than Civ V - it takes a major overhaul mod like Vox Populi to make Civ V playable for me, but I enjoy Civ VI with some minor mods. As for what you'll get in Civ VI, there's:

- districts
- unique great people
- unique city states with sovereign bonuses
- climate events
- city loyalty
- separate research/culture trees
- corps and armies
- city governors
- better city management with amenities and housing
- AI agendas (hit and miss... Not a huge fan of this to be honest)
- more unique civs with special bonuses, units or infrastructure

That's just off the top of my head. The debate rages on today over which civ game is best, and my vote would personally go to IV, but VI is a fine entry into the series. It's main gripe is poor AI, but Firaxis seem to have been improving this in recent patches. Hopefully the game can only get better.

Alright I'll check some videos and probably buy it since on steam it's on 75% sale so it might be a good idea to take the chance lol plus I just saw a few reviews on steam and 8 out of 10 are positive and talk really good about it (yeah I know I didn't thought before to go on steam and read the reviews, I'm dumb sometimes lol). I'll see some videos and (very probably XD) tomorrow I'll buy the platinum edition, ty so much for the info

No problem at all, feel free to ask anything else and enjoy civving!

I have around 2000h in CiVI and I really like the game, I would definitely recommend it
To add to salty muds list:
- different leaders for civs to alter the playstyle for civs, for example you can play Greece as Pericles (peacefull) or Gorgo (militaristic), this feature is rarely (4-6) used so far though (I still hope for a huge leader pack in the future)
- policy cards which are way more flexible than than the old social policies

Yeah I saw it, it's kinda difficult for now but it's just because I need to learn all the new stuff they added, but yeah it's really cool!

I came in late to the Civ6 party. How I learned was to play the first game under the original ruleset, the second under R&F, and GS from then on.

If you like building and developing your empire, civ6 is really great with its adjacency system that rewards you for cleverly placing improvements and the new districts. A lot of people really love that.

If you liked how civ5 civilizations had more unique flavor than the Civ4 traits system, Civ6 really improves there.

If you aren’t a deity player then AI complaints (which get overly amplified) are not a real issue.

What do you mean with ''the second under R&F, and GS from then on''?

Yeah I'm really loving it with the new features about districts etc... and yeah they added new stuff on AI too which is pretty cool, it's still kinda difficult to get used to the new stuff since I'm still in the middle age maybe or around that, but I'm working on it XD I'm curious to see how's the multiplayer tho if there are people playing that mode

Probably learning to play the game under the different rule sets. I.e. they learned to 0lay vanilla, then bought R&F and had to learn how to play with eras etc, then bought GS and had to learn again with m finite strategic resources, climate change, etc.

Exactly. As I said, I was late to Civ6, so trying to learn all the rules at once could've been overwhelming. I found it best to learn by the approach that I outlined.

Oh alright ty for the info
