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.

[Pike]

Who thinks III is the best Civ? Genuine question.

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

[Spuuky]

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

[Laddy]

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.

[Rantz]

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

[Wolf Kanno]

Hell yeah, bring on more Civilization!

[CimminyCricket]

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.

[escobert]

Woohoo!

[sinuosity]

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

[Mirage]

:3

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

[Spuuky]

I'm fine with that art style.

[Pike]

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

[Mirage]

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

[Slothy]

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.
