Many times, I zoom in close on my empire to see all the different quarries, lumber mills and dams spin and turn. The map is blooming with life and movement, and I really like that everything is just so colorful and detailed. The graphics and animations are beautiful. When you see your towns melt away by an active volcano, your harbor washed away by the twelfth million flood and see Darude with his sandstorm, raving over your farmlands, you know, they got no mercy on you. I really liked the natural disaster mechanic, but sometimes, it got a little over the top. These new mechanics do require some DLC tough. You earn era score by discovering great inventions, doing research and achieve eureka moments. With a golden age, you prosper and thrive, with a dark age, you struggle to come around.
#Civilization vi awards trailer series#
This installment in the series offer new mechanics like natural disasters, new ways of collecting resources from the map and a new system in which your era score determines if you are entering a golden age or a dark age.

The balance of the AI is great and if you want a challenge, you will surely get it. You can always play against the AI factions, which are really well done. The game is meant to be played online against friends or other people but offers some scenarios and a skirmish mode for you to play solo. Every character has a little backstory that is historically accurate and fun to read. When the modern age arrives, you really struggle to achieve military successes. For example, Saladin is more focused on religion and trade and only in the starting eras, his military is strong. They all have their special bonusses and you should take advantage of them by building your empire accordingly. Alexander the Great, Saladin, Queen Victoria, and many more, they are all there. You can play as many different world leaders from the days of old to the modern era. You can trade with other factions/people, build alliances, open your borders, make some shady deals, it is just great. If your military **** for example, you can try to build as many museums, theaters and zoo’s as possible, to get victorious on tourism and culture. This means that you are not bound to one specific goal.

You win the game by conquering all the capitals, achieve cultural victory, science victory or a religious victory. Every faction does their move simultaneously and after that, a new round starts. There is some new and relaxing music, more factions and overall, it is a huge improvement over the previous game.Ĭivilization has always been a turned based game in which you can build, move, attack or improve buildings in your turn. It offers new mechanics, tons of stuff to do and build and a fresh new look over the older games. Civilization is one of my all-time favorite games, and the leap from the fifth to the sixth game is epic.
