[–] YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 year ago (3 children) Thanks! I have Civ 5 on Steam, but I've never played 6. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago I still play 5. Six wasn't my cup of tea and 7 is still too new/expensive and - in the views of some people - even worse. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 8 points 1 year ago (2 children) If you like V you might not like VI. Probably more likely to enjoy the Vox Populi mod if you want something fresh. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago (2 children) I'll give 6 a shot. The price is right. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ashtear@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago Worth it just to get your socks blown off by the opening theme, if nothing else. It's not the best Civ has ever been, but RomanHoliday's AI rework seemed to mostly resolve the biggest problem I had with it, which was the AI falling apart by the Renaissance. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) That it is.

I think it's time to give it a go. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gaylactus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago I know that many ppl disliked 6, but honestly? I liked it more than 5, and I've been playing Civ since the first one, back in the 90's. 5 for me was the biggest shock, because it introduced the hex map, and military units introduced that movement control rules, and you could no longer do stacks of doom! With 6, I was already a bit more conformed with all the limitations, and while initially as most people, I disliked the 3D art, in the end, I actually learned to love it, and I feel that leaders were very lifelike, when it came to animations and facial expressions! For me that tops seeing leaders with crappy animations, which was what you had in 5 and apparently, now too with 7? I don't own that one yet, but from what I saw, they look terrible. permalink fedilink source parent [–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago Civ 6 is worth playing... Watch out though. You'll blink and suddenly have 1000 hours of play time. permalink fedilink source parent
