Civilization VI announced

[sinuosity]

You can have clean and simple art without aping that clash of clans/f2p aesthetic, to be fair.

[Slothy]

Aside from being clean and simple I wouldn't say it's aping those at all.

[Mirage]

I didn't think Civ5 was too cluttered and complex. 6 is too simplistic in my opinion.

[Slothy]

I didn't think Civ5 was too cluttered and complex.

I don't think anyone said it was.

[Pike]

I dunno Civ has always come off to me as very cartoony. I mean I didn't play much of V so maybe that was different but the earlier Civs felt very cartoony to me (in a good way). It was part of the charm of the series.

[Slothy]

Agreed. Even looking at pictures of V (which i haven't played) it's not exactly some highly realistic, high tech affair. It's just as cartoony as the others from what I've seen. This art style I like more though.

[Crop]

Sounds good, excited for this!

I'm also not a big fan of this art style, I prefer Civ V (I guess probably because it's the one I've played the most), this looks like more of a step back.

[Aerith's Knight]

My body is ready.

I'm pretty excited because the lead, Ed Beach, is a longtime veteran of board and video game design, and was in charge of both Civ V expacs, which I credit with redeeming the game (especially BNW but admittedly that might be because I think the Brave New World Theme is the only track in all Civ to ever come close to Baba Yetu)

[Slothy]

Definitely gonna have Baba Yetu in my head for the rest of the day. Not complaining one bit.

Terra Novum is pretty good yeah.

In other news, Poland was really annoying me today. I converted one of their cities to Taoism previously and Casimir III got real mad about it. Like a good diplomat I said sorry dude, I'll stop. Then he started trying to convert my cities to Catholicism and when I told him to stop he was just like "NOPE".

So I trapped a Great Prophet and a Missionary of his in the middle of the ocean. Disproportionately pleased with myself.
