If this turns out to be mostly a rehash with minor improvements over Civ V with all the expansions and improvements to multiplayer I will be perfectly content
Official WWII Civ DLC pack please
I know theres high quality mods and shit but sometimes i just wish we would get official World War leaders for Civ
I dunno i like reinmagining historical conflicts in Civ games when im bored

Yeah that's a bit steep, but after having spent as many hours as I have in Civ franchise, at this point it's paid for itself in fun over countless years of stillborn-re-skinnings.

What the fuck is this? New Civilization game for mobiles?
Finally, I can play a Civ game from my smartphone.

I'm amazed that PCfags haven't realised this is one of the main reasons consoles are so popular. Consoles gens are basically mandatory upgrades, ie guaranteed sales. PC modularity allows too much of the player base to remain on older hardware, causing more friction when devs push for graphics intensive games. It's the reason the majority of PC games are indiepixel shit or 'toaster friendly' sequels.
I am the most hyped of the possibility that Sean Bean is going to be the main announcer of this game.
Outside of that, the few articles we've had so far hint at some major improvements. They're going to change diplomacy, hinting at ranged and melee units can share one tile, cities will expand with benefits based on what tile you place them on, new ways to increase science. And probably most important, the game is being done by the Gods & Kings/Brave New World team and not the Beyond Earth team. All signs are pointing to an amazing game so far.
And the graphics look fine. People need to stop acting like Civ V was some super realistic looking game. The world was bright and vibrant compared to your typical brown and bloom realism game. And the leaders were highly animated. This game just looks like an HD upgrade to Civ III or Age of Empires III. And I like it.
>>337257993

Been playing modded civ 5 constantly and I actually like the way that looks.
Honestly I just hope there's some more terrain diversity (Pine trees everywhere might look a little odd after a while, in civ 5 its a bit more muddled what kind of trees forests are) and the keep the art deco style on leaders.
>>337257164
Is it still 1UPT?
Also what the fuck is that art style, are they really going full mobile shit?
>>337258172
Yes.
>Civilization 5's AI enemy leaders can sometimes feel a little arbitrary and confusing, declaring war at the least provocation, or generally being grumpy for no obvious reason. Given that most people, most of the time, are playing single-player campaigns, getting these rival empires to behave like real human players has been a long-standing challenge for Firaxis.
>Beach (i.e. the game's lead designer) says that the biggest lesson learned from Civ 5 was to make sure the player understands where AI rivals are coming from, at an emotional level, and what is likely to pull their strings. Civ 5's various updates over the years have improved diplomacy by making the AI's motivations less obscure.
>"We found that there was a bit of a sameness to leaders as opponents," he says. "They didn’t really act as different personalities in terms of diplomacy. In Civ 6, every single leader in the game has a historical agenda. We look at something they did very well in history and we dial that up in the game world to make them a bit fanatical about it in Civilization 6.
>"Take a leader in world history who was renowned for having an empire with famous world wonders. That leader feels like he’s the greatest wonder builder that history has ever seen. He’s going to play Civilization 6 that way.
>"He’s going to be obsessed with building more wonders than anyone else in the world. If you back off and don’t try to compete with him that often, he'll be fine. He’ll be your friend and you can establish a peaceful diplomatic relationship with him. But if you decide to compete on the thing he cares deeply about, he’s going to fight you on it."
>Random agendas will also be assigned to certain leaders too. "By sprinkling different agendas like this throughout all the leaders, we have a really interesting diplomatic landscape that you have to navigate with the other leaders."

Probably not.
Made a pic once on my other computer showing how you can get a globe with hexagons, there are some tiles that are pentagons like in the pic you showed, but you can compensate by adding an extra tile outside those 5 tiles.
A possible problem is that they create better choke points, but that could be mechanically interesting.

>>337258601
But they've had that since Civ 1. Are they seriously trying to claim that AI personalities are new?
So is religion going to not suck this time around?
In Civ 4 the differences between each religion were purely cosmetic. Gods and Kings did it a little better, but not by much.
I'd like to see religion actually be, you know...an important mechanic. Maybe even have whole civs based around religion, like the Papal States or Israel.
>>337259137
Second.
By far my favorite.
Brazil is pretty good too.
>>337257164
Do we get Finland, Novgorod, Golden Horde, Hungary or meaby even Wallachia.
>>337259127
dumbed down how so? Civ V's flaw was that the AI was badly programmed, not that it lacked inherent complexity.
Several systems in Civ V, as it is now, are vastly more complex than IV
>>337259127
dumbass
civ 5 and be let you zoom in and out, 6 is probably the same
>>337257164
>Civ6 looks cartoony and simple enough, perfect for a tablet
We should have seen it coming as soon as Civ5 added a Windows tablet ready mode when using Win8+ as part of a patch/expansion.
Are you guys ready for huge-ass buttons, touch optimized UI and "tap/slide here" prompts everywhere? Because that's what we'll get even before they announce the inevitable iPad and AndroidPad versions.

They've confirmed all Civ 5 DLC features are in at launch.
>>337258898
They're comparable in the way that they're both highly stylized. They're both brighter and more detailed than your average game trying to be realistic.
You just don't like how the new style is even brighter. But we've also only seen two images of a game that isn't even finished.

People are more upset over the shitty art style rather than the graphics. Even then Civ6's textures look fucking horrible and like something out of a 13 year old strategy game.

>Are you guys ready for huge-ass buttons, touch optimized UI and "tap/slide here" prompts everywhere? Because that's what we'll get even before they announce the inevitable iPad and AndroidPad versions.
I don't think I'm surprised even.
Just sad.
Civ5 did go a bit worse in terms of controls by not having the ability to move with the numpad as fluently as in previous games, but I could deal with it since it was hexes.

IRL idgaf about religion, but in Civ 5 G&K & BNW I found it to be an impressive money maker on Pope-ian levels.
Only issue was that there were too few worth-it fable options so you had to get lucky to get early in the crafting, otherwise you were stuck with lame shit like +1 H from cities on rivers (since when did the algorithm produce enough rivers for that to matter).
>>337259497

Some civ 4 mods added more depth to the religions and expanded on them, I like that option better than just making your own shit up, though custom religions should be an option as well. Ideally each religion would have unique bonuses, unique units and buildings, and should influence your government choices.

I take it's mod that changes requirements for polders. Instead of building them on marshes, you can also create them out of tile of coast if it borders at least 3 tiles of land.

No. The image is just overexposed.
>>337259378
Joke's on you anon, that reminds me of Zeus and makes me really hyped.
Not going to decide whether or not I'm buying this game immediately upon release until we get some more info. I'm a bit skeptical about the artstyle, honestly, and I hope they'll change it to less resemble a mobile game.
As for the featuring civs, we all already know the obligatory civs are going to be in the game, that is, England, Germany, France, Egypt, China, America (with the leader possibly being Teddy Roosevelt, judging by the trailer) etc.
Since they've given fucking Denmark and Sweden screen time out of all the Earth's civilizations, my penis will be fully erect if they decide to give Norway a chance as well, and not just in a scenario.

Wide penalties were a joke before bnw.
Just a little hurdle for beginners you could learn how to deal with and then after you learned you could snowball as hell.
>super robots and XCOM squads as regular units (WTF?)
I could accept the robot, since it cost a rare resources and it wasn't really that op.
XCOM squads were fucking crazy though.
Before xcom squads paratroopers still had a bit of a role even.
>global happiness
Not a problem.
One problem you missed is that cities were way too fucking powerful.
Ties in with ranged units as well and AI being unable to handle their carpets. City in a choke with a ranged unit or two could hold back way too many AI units.
That part could be kind of fun, but it was still silly.

>turning motherfucking Ode to Joy into something sinister
so how would you like to see the 1UPT vs Deathstack resolved?
my preferable one would be to introduce an attrition system with all tiles having a soft unit-limit which if exceeded causes end-turn damage to all units proportional to how far over the attrition limit you are
attrition could vary based on tile type, improvement and various tech/civil bonuses
>>337258327

Civ5 already had a tablet interface. And an official SteamController layout.
Honestly, Firaxis should just license the Civilization IP to Amplitude and let them revitalize it.

Kind of sad that they dropped BE support though. Could have been something good.

>>337260520
can someone honest tell me how its gonna be vs. stellaris? people saying it's boring and shallow.
>>337260421
The only way I'd allow stacks in my Civilization game is ifunits can stack on great generals, making them essential for war. Add great general specialists to barracks line buildings to ensure peaceful nations can afford them too.
>>337258601
Hopefully they bring back multiple leaders for each Civilzation.
>>337260393
Different teams. The BE team isn't touching this. And it will stay that way if Firaxis knows what's good for it.

>>337260439
Civ V already had a massively simplified interface where you could play the whole game with just a mouse. But you also had the option to use hoykeys which made things 10x faster.
Even if Civ VI allows you to use a controller, that doesn't mean the hoykeys will be removed. It'll still be faster to just press M to move a unit or U to upgrade a unit.
Unless they fix the shitty diplomacy/war AI, it's gonna be shit no matter what features they have.

>>337260834
Other than FreeCiv, started with Civ3, never looked at the older ones.
I spent the most time with Civ4, but I still like the tactical combat of Civ5 better.
Chokes, blocking, separating armies is more fun than the big blog of doom. Also cities being able to defend themselves against a single flanking cavalry unit or early roaming barbarian.

>stacks completely removed and reduced to 1UP
Good, death stacks were stupid.
>AI unable to fight in stackless combat
Yep, just like they couldn't fight you in Civ 4 because you'd just easily steamroll them with a gorillion bowmen.
>ranged units have too much range
Why?
>massive punishments for building wide
So? It's still incredibly viable, you just aren't building 30 cities with Wonders in each.
>90% of games end with science victory

Yep, stupid design that is being changed hopefully.

That's how it works in the real world, but it should be a lot more nuanced.

You're talking about your pic related, right?
>>337261089
Ah okay.
In Civ2 you can move as many units into a tile as possible, but if a unit attacks into a tile it only fights one unit in the tile.
If the attacking unit wins the fight, every unit in the tile is destroyed. Unless it is in a city or in a fortified area.
So you can still move your units around without much hassle, but you can't build up a too powerful stack of units.

Just give us NON-FICITONAL LEADERS
How hard can it be to have only leaders who ACTUALLY FUCKING EXISTED
IF I SEE FUCKING DIDO ONE MORE TIME
Wont be buying until its on super cheap sale after the shitshow that was beyond earth.
Which civ had the best logo/promo art/intro? My favourite promo art used to be Civ3 but Civ6 blows it out the water. And my favourite intro isBeyond Earth's.
>super hyped for new civ game as it's one of my favourite series
>trying not to fall into the usual /v/ pessimism desperately
That fucking CivRev tier artstyle is atrocious though, and really makes me think it's going to be consolified and very simple like Rev. Like no specialists, great people, great works etc simple.
which would be fine if this was another spin off but it's a numbered title. Fuck me dude. i was hoping theyd put more effort into BE and raise it to BNW levels
>>337260934
>endless legend
why did they even bother with the combat in that game? I know you can skip it, but seriously it is so atrocious that they should have just left it out.
Its like they started developing for it, realized it sucked shit anyway, and then left it in there to justify the price point.
Anyway, trash game w/o a fuckton of DLC/mods.
>>337260520
What's so good about Stellaris anyway?

the only thing about the bottom one i like are the mountains which actually look worse in a mountain range.
The top image has better looking cities. All cities in civ5 just looked like the same thing. now they are looking to be more stylized for that civ. also roads look better.

>Civ 5 was beautiful with nice detailed crisp graphics
>now we get cartoons and kiddie shit to appeal to the smartphone generation of Clash of Clans users
not that hyped desu, I doubt they'll actually try to expand on 5 and end up just remaking 5 and readding all the DLC
>>337260596
>why do most new pc exclusives look like cheap mobile games
Because the most popular MOBA crap out there features that kind of artstyle, and because it's not hardware intensive meaning they can port it to tablets and also run it on toasters without it looking like shit
>>337261284
>>337260467
Touché. Still, I love EL and it's much cheaper than Civ's DLC shenanigans.
It's on sale right now btw.
>>337261449
This, the trailer got me hyped up but the artsyle is fucking terrible.

Since on a sale you can usually get all of Civ V for like $10, I don't know what you're talking about. I still haven't bought the final expansion for Endless Legend. I also just kind of got tired of playing Endless Legend because everything leads to war. At least in Civ V I can avoid war.

They literally designed the controller with Civ V in mind.
Plus, these games are turn based, you don't need a high APM to be good at it.
>>337261776
what do you mean?
>promotional art displaces a style more similar to civ5
>actual ingame looks like civ3
Are the people at firaxis not on the same note or something?
>>337261575
If they've got detailed graphics in a strategy game they have completely focused their resources on the wrong thing. And too much pointless detail ruins a strategy game by making the map too busy and harder to read.
Realistic/detailed graphics are a bad design choice for a game like this. So these graphics are good for this game.
i don't 'get' civ
it's like a semi-interactive board game? i think?

All big budget games are designed by marketing committees. They just look at the most popular shit, ASSFAGGOTS, and copy it's art style hoping for the same playerbase numbers.
Thank god Total Warhammer is one of the rare exceptions.

It's 12.50 for everything in Civ 5 right now, usually it's 49.99
It's 59.99 + 12.99 for everything in EL
But don't let me stop you from paying 73 bucks for an unfinished game.

Who would be a better leader of Carthage though? Note that Hannibal was a general and was the Carthaginian senate's bitch.
>>337262243
civ5 combat is literally ramming units into each other for fucks sake
>>337262105
While I understand what you're trying to say, I don't think a develop for a strategy game should be purposefully ignoring graphics. One of the major reasons Civ V was so popular was that it simplified the UI of the game. And it wouldn't have been able to do that without advancements in graphics.
Civ VI probably won't need to be such a huge advancement in UI. If anything, they seem to be hinting that they're trying to simplify things even more with a new design style. And while all the realism fags will claim that's a negative, if done correctly it could enhance the UI and gameplay even more.
>>337262164
>Thank god Total Warhammer is one of the rare exceptions.
It's a shame the Total War series has been mediocre in every department but graphics recently

Civilization combined traditional board games (Stone Age, Settlers of Cataan, etc) with Grand Strategy games (Warhammer, Risk, etc) and Simulation games (Sim City, Sim Earth, etc).

They could have done what fallout did and just purposely make the tesselation bottleneck old computers.
After lowering the tesselation I could run fallout on a 2 year old Toshiba satellite laptop on the highest graphics and there was no noticeable difference

There must be a mod to get him in Civ V
Am I the only one that thinks it looks like RuneScape 3 with the bloom on?
Like the models look exactly like the RS3 models, just smaller.
>>337262649
time moves on, people die, new people take over, yada yada as long as it's not narrated by Dustin Diamond I think I'm okay, rip Nimoy anyhow
>>337262649
I am the biggest Star Trek freak out there. But we already got one game with Leonard Nimoy. I'm hyped for Sean Bean. If that really does happen.
>>337262735
So we moved from being in charge of, to having X amount of control.
Where do you draw this arbitrary line between being a leader and not being fit for it?
WHO IS READY FOR SHIT LEADERS FOR CIVS
>>337262830
There is a mod. I kind of get annoyed by it however since there's a loud ping (the research noise in Civ IV) every time Leonard Nimoy speaks.
>>337262830
there was, it was just okay

Hannibal was an elected suffete (basically the equivalent of a consul) after the Punic Wars, brought the office back to political power, and enforced a number of reforms despite the senate attempting to undermine him for not taking Rome in the war.
He was so effective enough in getting out from the post-war reparations that Rome demanded his exile because Carthage was becoming economically successful again.
Hannibal is fine as a political leader.
