Description

Civilization VI for PC is a 4X, turn based, empire-building game. 4X stands for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate, and this is a reasonable summary of what the player needs to do in order to take the civilisation from small village to superpower.

About the Game


Build civilisation from tiny village or settlement all the way up to political juggernaut – basically a digital boardgame in which you have to build your empire from scratch into a leader on the world’s stage through trade, deals, battles and much more.

The terrain affects your successes, with forest, desert and tundra all having their own advantages and disadvantages to the player, so you will need to adapt your game play to get the best out of the area in which you are playing.

New Details


You can now spread your city around a bit – previously all improvements to a city were stacked into the hex block on which the city was built.

Gives more scope for expansion and gives the player more freedom in the layout of their city

The new ‘unstacked’ way allows for cities to be better laid out, and players can earn bonuses for placing appropriate buildings in the right place – for example placing barracks near a training ground is a sensible decision, and is rewarded in the game

This is not to say that you can no longer stack items, but it is now somewhat limited and stacking can only happen with similar types of construction

The menus are displayed as ‘trees’ and there are trees for many aspects of the game, from Technology to Culture. The latter is new, and allows players to more easily win a game played from a cultural slant – something that was quite tricky in the original incarnation.

Ways to Play


The game rewards players for sensible decisions – building a marina, for example, in the middle of dry land will result in few resources being made available, whereas building it by the water will ensure a steady flow of resources coming your way. There is really only one way to play: you against the game, but here are some tips that will help you if you are just getting started:

  • Planning ahead is key

  • As mentioned above, you will need to consider every move carefully, in every aspect of the game. From where you are going to place a theatre today to leaving enough virgin countryside for a National Park some time far in the future, you have to think about everything!

  • Barbarians are smart

  • Do not think that because you caught just one glimpse of a barbarian who then vanished that your city is safe, especially in the early days of construction. Often, they are scouts, assessing whether your city is attackable, and will return before you know it with a horde all set to destroy your careful creation!

  • Traders generate roads

  • Use this useful feature to get your infrastructure in place by spreading your traders far and wide. Doing this will ensure that your civilisation benefits from a wide network of roads with very little other effort from you.

  • Read the tech and civic trees carefully

  • These can offer you invaluable advice and can even offer warnings if you learn to read them thoroughly, putting their tips into good practice to build a magnificent civilisation.

    Endgame


    Strategy is the key to succeeding at this game, and you must always be thinking three or four steps ahead of the game at every stage. Filling up the best tiles too soon can leave you short of assets at a later time, so you must plan out your city as carefully as possible, leaving enough space to expand into when necessary.

    Civilization VI for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    Every game in the legendary, 25-year-old Sid Meier’s Civilization 4X strategy series puts a new spin on the grand concept of taking a nation from a single nomadic tribe to a world-dominating superpower, one turn at a time. In that way Civilization VI looks familiar, but it’s loaded with some very smart and bold improvements that give it new levels of depth. Once I get absorbed into a campaign it becomes so engrossing it’s difficult to think about anything else.

    Under its colorful, cartography-inspired art style and varied, stirring music that swells to accent what you’re doing and in what era you’re doing it, Civilization VI is crammed with an almost overwhelming number of systems. It’s got trade, it’s got religion, it’s got espionage, it’s got Great People, it’s got archeology, it’s got the kitchen sink. For the most part, that’s awesome because there are so many chances to build out your nation in different ways to take advantage of opportunities on its randomly generated maps and pursue the different victory types, and it’s all baked in at the ground level so that things like trade routes don’t feel tacked on and optional (they are, in fact, the only way to build roads in the early game). This feels like a Civ game that’s already had two expansions.

    Amazing game, super fun to play alone or with friends.

    Does not require a beast of a PC but of course the faster your PC the faster the AI will make their turns so it makes the game smotther

    If you have the chance the full game with all the expansion i would totally recommend since it adds a lot of content but the game alone is already a lot of fun
    • Fun to learn
    • Amazing multiplayer experience
    • A little complex for beginners

    Very happy with this purchase. The game is fun and for the best experience this expansion is definitely the way to go. This is the full culmination of everything and so you can have the most varied experiences by purchasing this one

    Just buy Civilization 5 its better in every way and its cheaper.

    This Game introduced way too much Micromanaging BS that its no fun anymore.

    It also change the beautiful Civilization 5 graphics to this ugly cartoon style

    extremely complex but really fun. I played 72 hours already since I bought it, 4 days ago :) There are so many variations to choose from that it is impossible to get bored as you will always be on your toes each game.

    Still pretty good even today. Even though it's more with friends and mods. Last CIV I played was 4 or 5. If you into it feel free to buy dlcs.

    They are mostly on sales lately.

    Game can me buggy sometimes, which game isn't anyway. In short, it's worth it.

    Best game I ever played. It's fun, it's competitive, it's beautiful. The only con is that tutorial is bad. I had to learn by reading and watching youtube. But was really worth it. The game is difficult, there are many things to know if you want to be good at it, but I always felt the motivation to learn because the game is rewarding.

    The last Civ I played was the 4 and thisone has some better things, but also some worse. I like thatyou can still understand how to play the game without going in too many tutorials, but still I don't have the same feeling I had with the 4.

    I love this game! Realy engaging, I can't get bored while playing this game. I always wanted to find a game like this, I wish I would found this earlier. Everything I wanted to try its possible now thanks to this game.

    They added so much this time. Considering that you have bought the big DLC's then you have a lot coming for. The best one is the Gathering Storm, which makes the empire management more realistically in terms of building dams, etc. It also has nature disasters so you will need to settle new cities more carefully or prepare your workers for the worst. I definitely recommend you check that one out.

    They also added districts of cities. Each one of those districts takes one tile and their purpose can be different - science, military, culture, you know what I'm talking about. I think the military one is quite a bit too strong since its health and defense is over the top. Wonders also take one tile of space, which I'm not a big fan of. I liked it more when I could see the wonders placed inside of my city.

    One the most annoying parts of this game is the change they made on workers. Workers can no longer build things infinitely, their standard builds are limited to 3 (depends on your policies, etc.). On the other hand they can build things instantly so no more waiting.

    The graphics look less realistically, it looks like a cartoon. This of course depends on your taste. I personally think it looks okay and unique in its way.
    • A lot of playtime and replaybility
    • Mods, dlc's, etc.
    • A few campaign modes
    • I checked that spy thing that this game had and it seems like it's has been already removed.

    The best of the series (along with Civ IV). The Civilization 'one more turn' syndrome, that takes up whole days and nights goes on in this one also. Rise & Fall expansion also brings some new exciting rules to the game. Be careful! Highly addictive.
    • Highly addictive
    • Nice music
    • Great gameplay balance

    DLC is a bit much, a lot of cool stuff locked behind a paywall, but other than that very unique idea and a lot of fun to play alone and with friends. Has replay value too, different maps, scenarios and civs to choose from, offering a slightly different game each time
    • Good Graphics
    • Fun Concept
    • A lot of replay value
    • Smooth Gameplay
    • A lot of DLC
