By now most to all features of Civ 6 have been revealed. My favourite game type in Civ 3 - Civ 5 was to play True Starting Locations (TSL) Giant World Maps with around 20-50 different Civs. (Unfortunately the games usually became unstable around modern ages.)
It is a huge difference to design a game to be played with 4-8 civs or 50 civs,
e.g. Civ 5 : The diplomacy overview is a list where for every civ relations to all other civs are displayed. When playing with 43 civs, this might result in a list of ca. 42 x 41 (= ca. 1.700) entries which is uncomfortable to use. Trades are listed but cannot be sorted after civs. Trades expire automatically and have to be manually renewed instead of keeping permanent trades and allow cancelation without negative effects after some turns. Beliefs and religions are limited. Great works are limited so that the game runs out of Great Works rather quickly (unless you add more Great Works via mod). ...
I noticed that in Civ 6 Great People seem to be globally limited, which might not scale well when playing with 50 civs. Are there more points where you think that the game will not work well when played with 50 civs?
