I'm more interested in gameplay than graphics / art design.

But the way it looks still bothers me. It's an immersion thing. Now it looks like 'fun', a mobile game you play for 20 mins. It's kind of disconnecting you with what impact you have gameplay wise. If it was slightly more realistic but still cartoony I would be fine with it, this is a bit too much.

It almost looks like a facebook game, and I feel like I'd just be better off playing V or IV, I don't want to trade aesthetics for minor gameplay elements. It's not like the franchise shifts dramatically anyway.

It's not really enticing me to get it.

Because people wouldn't accept pre-rendered graphics in 2016.

>I can't rotate the camera? I can't zoom in? This game is shit!

You know, shit like that. Also in this day and age they wouldn't put nearly as much effort into it as they used to. This artstyle is simply derived from a want to appeal to as many people as possible.

Turn Based Stategy is a fairly niche genre in the first place, so I imagine poor sales is always a worry.

HD pre-rendered graphics would allow to zoom. And you don't need to turn around in Civilization games. Also, people accepted 2D fighting games, a pre-rendered Civ gae would be welcome if it looks good.

I'd doubt they'd put the effort in, though. Nowadays, making HD sprites are more expensive than 3D models.

The more I look at it, the better it looks honestly. The Great Lighthouse is placed tiles away in the water, there's a little harbor/dock, the tiles are still distinct and more detailed than ever.

What are people actually upset about? The academy/university tiles? They're probably just great person improvements.

Nobody is going to play it that zoomed in anyways.

No idea why people even compare it to a 'mobile port' mobiles don't have a fraction of that definition.

Civ IV with both expansions was easily the greatest experience in the series.

The people that are freaking out about these graphics should do the world a favor and leave it. Civ has never been concerned with graphical fidelity, and it shouldn't start now. As long as it capably renders the progression of a civilization, that is all that matters. And given that they are clearly returning to Civ II's method of having different architecture, I'm pretty happy.

Endless Legend. It is easily the best fantasy-themed 4X ever made. It is innovative for its creative diplomacy system. In addition, players expand their cities manually, by choosing hexes to build districts on.

Civilization VI's trailer has suggested, to me, that it will be more or less lifting both of these systems from that game and putting it in theirs. I definitely think you should pirate it, or buy it when it goes on a good sale. The combat system is a bit confusing, and it's certainly a bit slower, but it's one of the better 4X games released in quite awhile.

Dominions is definitely an advanced game that requires a lot of thought and micromanagement. Very few people are willing to take the time necessary to learn the system and mechanics, and the graphics are very plain and not endearing in the slightest. It's a great game, but it is definitely not for everyone.

Only if you are a retarded shitter who doesn't play 4x or strategy games in general. The concept and systems are amazing but the AI is some of the worst of all time. Plus the fact that it is extremely easy to cheese and the combat is absolutely terrible makes it merely "okay".

It really has hardly any micromanagement and is entirely focused on the macro.

I suppose some factions would require thought in "how do i make this pile of shit viable against this skeleton spamming fuck", but most factions you can do reasonably well by doing simple magic research and spamming your bread and butter units

Nothing in the game is really that advanced, and the only hurdle to playing the game is the UI which really isn't that bad. The game even allows you to make new players a disciple to learn the game without suffering large consequences from their mistakes.

Civ 5 is the most polished game in the genre and is really easy to learn for newer players, so I'd definitely recommend that.

Stellaris is less of a 4x game and more of a grand strategy game.

It really doesn't take more than a few hours to get a basic understanding of the game, especially considering you can automate a fuckton in Distant Worlds.

Maybe if you spent less time shitposting about how you don't have enough time to read a manual you'd be able to read a fucking manual, or at least listen to a youtube tutorial in the background if you're really that desperate.
>>
>>337595691
Everything they said about the graphics justifies the look. We will be able to dress up our units and they wanted them to be easily identifiable from any zoom.

The art style just looks to clean and plastic, almost soulless in a way

Not really, it's perfectly viable to just automate and skip all of them.

It changes how you approach units sure, but the game's bread and butter is in it's world map.
>>
>>337600992
It's a very different game, but I'd recommend it. Pick it up vanilla, see if you like it, then think about the expansions. Unlike certain Civilizations, the base game is pretty decent and you'll get a good feel of whether you like it.

Actually it's pretty well optimized. Turns in Hex-Battles are slow when everyone is moving units but you can speed that up.

Gameplay-wise it's not as good as the older games but the art-style and graphics are lovely.
>>
I heard it's still gonna be Civ5 under the hood?

Civ5 had a pretty shitty engine, and would play like dogshit the closer to Modern Era you got. Plus it never got any badass mods like Civ4--I don't count Steam Workshop mods like "Gamindustri Civilization" which gives you a Nep to look at as your civ's leader. I'm talking about mods like Fall From Heaven.

Lot's of clutter. Map is gonna be spammed by units, armies, scout groups, heroes and neutral mobs, events, buildings.

It has a lot of stuff to do but managing every army on multiple fronts while exploring the map with your hero can consume some time.

maybe not when the game starts

but later in the game things can get laggy.

i see no prob with this artstyle. you people are just spergin out
>>
>>337606618
Eh, the higher fidelity the graphics the worse it will run as the game scales.

The alternative is to try to go realistic with low quality assets, which ends up with the game looking as shitty and muddy as Civ V did. Worst of both worlds, looks like shit if you zoom it and you can't tell shit apart without icons if you zoom out.

No, what fucked up the AI was the lack of stacking. It's a lot more complicated when you can't just pass units through each other and move them as one. The AI now has to consider each unit's position in relationship to the others, it's far more complex. There's no reason hexes would be any more difficult than squares.

Strange that bug should have been fixed for years now. I got it a few years back and I'm sure they even hot fixed it. Are you running any mods? What are your system specs? What map/player amount are you playing with?

If you can't open the task manager it's usually a bad sign. Something's wrong on the system level. The task manager should always open or at least you should be able to strg+alt+entf into the option screen as long as the OS is running stable and the hardware isn't failing.
