Civilization VI announced

It's gonna involve some SimCity-ish city planning mechanics! WHO'S READY I'M READY, I'M SO READY

I refuse to believe it has been six years since Civ 5.

EDIT: I don't know how I'm supposed to discuss Civ with these people who think 3 is the best game.

Who thinks III is the best Civ? Genuine question.

II (and its spinoff SMAC) and IV are my personal favorites in the series.

A guy on Twitter who doesn't visit this site. He thinks all the other games are not complex enough, allegedly.

IV is my favorite but V's expansions made it pretty great.

Im excited to see this and can't wait to hear more about it in the coming months tbh.

Definitely like the sound of most of those changes. Exciting! :hyper:

Hell yeah, bring on more Civilization!

It's really been six years since Civ V? I picked it up really late then. I liked it, so I'm excited for this one.

Woohoo!

Art style is absolute poverty tier. Looks muuuuuuch uglier than Civ 5. But all the changes sound like improvements!

:3

Except the art direction. That could use a lot of work.

I'm fine with that art style.

Yeah. Art style is fine, it's very Civ.

just seems like a step back from 5. 4 wasn't ugly but i really think 5 looks better in every way.

Art style is great. Clean and simple. Games don't need a trillion polygons, ray tracing, complicated water effects, etc. to look good. In the case of Civ I'd almost say wasting time and money on that is undesirable.
