I think it's time we apologize to Civ 6.We were too harsh on this game.

>>736158890>>736158753Oh god the music the art style is so boring the it puts me to sleep sometimes I dont know why but it does
>districts
>>736158890The art style is debatable, although a cartoony art style like Civ 6 is more likely to age wellCiv 4 leaders were also kind of cartoony and it aged well tooThe same cannot be said about 5, the leaders there look too low-detail by today's standards, because of that semi-realistic approachAs for soundtrack I prefer 6 because of how each Civ has its own track that evolves trough erasAlso Civ 6's theme is a whole load better and grandiose than 5's, which was putting me to sleep after a whilehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQYN2P3E06sBut it's not surprising, considering it was made by Christopher Tin who also made Baba Yetu in 4, dude just knows how to tell a story about humankind through music.

>>736159246Funniest mechanic they ever included in those games.If you don't like it, that makes you low-IQ btw
>>736159273>Civ 6's theme is a whole load better and grandiose than 5's,It's good but brave new world theme was better to meAnd overall the soundtrack in civ5 is so much nicer. Not just the leader themes but everything:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBYHM0QRoMobeautiful.
>>7361593175babs just want a game that plays itself with barely any strategyThey'll keep using the same solved, 100% win "strategy" everytime because the game is fundamentally shallow and underdesigned.So when Civ 6 comes out and asks its players to think about cities development for instance, naturally they just threw a tamper tantrum
>>736159645>it's good but brave new world theme was better to methat theme is just sleep inducing, that anon is right
>>736159645>defending 5's theme over 6'swhat the fuck, no fucking way, you are a real person? You aren't trolling?https://youtu.be/5HZQvYj7zNIYou prefer this shit to Dream of Flight? No, fuck off. You aren't serious.

only low iqs like districtsthe more complicated something is the more an idiot will admire it
>>736159908His weakest main theme, but better than 5's, it feels like he's trying with this one, rather than just going for it
>>736159919>the more complicated something is the more an idiot will admire itOh the cope!
>>736159974i didnt like it at first but it really grew on me. baba yet is still the goat but id probably put live gloriously equal to dream of flight now

>>736158753I'm still amazed at how they managed to completely kill the fucking IP forever with that Humankind bad ripoff trash heapLiterally one of the biggest flop I have seen from an iconic franchise in a decade

>>736159645Only correct post in a sea of 6 newfags defending their slop
>>736160229theyll be fine, every civ launch is met with "this is shit im sticking to [previous game]". not usually this bad, but its typical for a new game to be outperformed by its predecessors out the gate. itll get some updates and sooner or later everyone will decide that actually 7 is the definitive civ game. and then 8 itll come out and everyone will decry it as shit for not being like 7.theres a big update coming in the next month or two i think that lets you play as one civ the whole way through which will propbably be popular with people
>>736160236It flopped so bad they're turning it into an actual Civ game where you are not forced to play Harriet Tubman, Female Caliph of the Abbasid EmpireBut sadly the damage is already done, the game will always be rotten at its core because of this stupid ass decision to rip off the game that failed doing the same thing with the swapping civ shit

>>736158753Lol, even jewtubers like potatomfaggot whose livelihood depende on Civ being a succesful game, absolutely hate Cvi 7 and dropped it.At this point it seems Civ as a franchise will cease to exist. But indie devs will pick up the pieces and give us true innovation. Like that Uncivilised game that has fully realistic diplomacy using natural language and LLMs.
>>736158753Its been 10 years?
>>736160414Except Civ 5 and 6 weren't heavily flawed at launchThey only suffered from being barebones, which expansions fixedThis was the contract.They now released an actual dogshit base game, meaning they will have to waste time and money unfucking all the shit they did first, before even considering expanding the game with DLCs

Downloaded 6 after a year today to play a few games. It's sooooo slow. Production and building improvements takes forever and it's not fun. V is better, but seriously play the Civ 4 mod History Rewritten and you'll never want to play either again. That shit is like crack.
>>736158753They completely sapped away the very essence of Civ games with 7.Civ games are supposed to be anachronistic, ahistorical sandboxes where you develop an empire from cavemen to spaceships in any way you see fit, at least up until normal difficulties.The whole premise of those games is to have, for instance, samurais fighting roman legions in a rainforestOr having the zulus developing into a modern superpower and nuking londonNow you can't really do that freely because you can only play a handful of civs per eraThis civ swapping shit also means there is little to no snowballing (literally half the fun of these games even if it can be unfair or broken), as each of the three eras have you starting in a boring status quoPlus the swapping doesn't follow any kind of historical logic, aside from a few exceptionsShould have called this game "Leaders" instead of "Civilization"
>>736162850II>III>IV>V>I>VI>VII
There's simply no point in purchasing a Civ game until the 2 expansions that fix the game release and you can get the complete experience for a significant discount.

>>736162870>building improvements takes forever It doesn't, it takes one turn, and you shouldn't improve every fucking tile, just focus on the best ones you can work with the current citizen number you have
>>736159317>picAnd this is why you hear so much complaining about Civ 6 mechanicsCiv 5 is so fucking barebones, it was the first Civ game of a whole load of mouthbreathers in resultAnyone that played a Civ game before 5 realizes there is nothing wrong with 6, it took 5's formula and iterated on it
>>736159317>>736163674the city planning aspect adds a ton of depth and skill expression if youre primarily interested in the strategy of the game over the immersion/roleplay aspectso does civ switching in 7

>>736164074>over the immersion/roleplay aspectThe whole Timeline and Historic Moment mechanics have literally more immersion/roleplay to them than anything in 5Also the fact that natural landmarks in 6 like rivers, lakes, deserts, continents and such get attributed a name that's displayed on the mapOr even the random natural disasters

>>736158753I know this is a bait OP and most the replies liking it are bait but I've always considered 6 the better game apart from how much of a "solved" game it isIts by far the best multiplayer civ in terms of playing it consistently but worse than 5 in that it turns people away from one-off games
>>7361588904 and 3 are better than both.
Civ 6 is better than 5 for one reason: loyalty mechanic
>>736165468wifefor me, it's jadwiga's childbearing hips
It’s not like we needed another one but civ 7 was a great example of how all streamers without exception lie for money and swag. Every single top civ streamer was flown out to play 7 and they all came back saying it was great. They didn’t even say “hey you need to bring back districts being color coded, my viewers may have a hard time following the game if not.” Nope. Cash those checks. Take those trips. You could tell lots of them had switched to their channel being their main career and their greediness about civ destroyed that. So at least there was some justice.
>>736159645Easily one of the best things 6 did was have the theme for each Civ advance with the ages
>>736170749https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6icrNDN4TUA>*redskins war cry chanting intensifies*
>>736159246I like how districts cause cities to physically expand as they grow, and how they give you more to think about when planning cities as you keep an eye out for good spots lay them out in7 however seems to have taken it too far, every lategame screenshot I see looks WAY too crowded in urban sprawl, apparently in that one you build a district for EVERY 'city centre' building?
>>736158753None of the original devs worked in civ 6 so no. Not apologizing.I'll continue to support Old World instead because the Civ 4 devs were the best.

>>736171117Love all the Ancient themes, they all have that primitive, "humble beginnings" feel to themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UodWo35rp8
>>736170749It's a good idea, but the civ5 soundtrack is still way better. The modern era songs sound like disney. Civ5 was tasteful, classical.
Sell me on civ 6. I have it purchased, but I played about 3 hours and dropped it
>>736160739I'm interested in hearing your take, what do you like so much about it? I'm willing to give the game a try eventually once the inevitable expansions are out, but unlike previous civ games from an outsider's perspective the base game looks incredibly flawed for that to even be possible
>>736171821the age system opens up a lot of strategic options. mixing and matching leaders and civs, and pivoting from one civ to another over the course of the game, gives civ 7 more strategic depth by orders of magnitude in terms of how you play at the most base level. it basically takes what was previously a fixed aspect of the game and opens it up into a new layer of strategy where you can find and exploit synergies. its super fun and interesting. you go into games with a build now, which wasnt ever really the case priorcombat is also vastly improved. commanders make it so much more fun because youre not just micro-ing 700 units, while their buffs still leave a lot of room for skill expression and micro once the actual fighting starts. war support (part of a wider system of hugely improved diplomacy from whatever the fuck 5 had going on) is cool, and the age system also means tech trees are capped, so wars dont boil down to "i outtech you and therefore have a 40 combat strength advantage" (even units within an age are much closer in CS than in previous games)those are the biggest two for me. the game has its flaws (legacy paths do feel really samey, though ive been playing the beta build and the new system improves on those massively) but once it clicked for me i just couldnt go back to older civs. i pursue war every game now just because its fun, whereas in civ 6 i actively avoided it, and if i needed a military win i just rushed bombers to take cities without having to do real fighting, because land wars were so fucking tedious
