  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.

  If you like V you might not like VI. Probably more likely to enjoy the Vox Populi mod if you want something fresh.

    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.

    I’ll give 6 a shot. The price is right.

      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.

      That it is. Might as well, right?

        Well, it’s downloaded and installed, I got a cold Sierra Nevada Pale Ale pounder in the fridge, no work this evening, and it’s pouring rain outside. I think it’s time to give it a go.

  Civ 6 is worth playing… Watch out though. You’ll blink and suddenly have 1000 hours of play time.
