Refinements to the way Spies operate make espionage easier to grasp, while streamlining trading mean you don’t have to fuss about creating roads because traders do it for you – as they did with routes like the Silk Road. Its smart UI looks great while being effortlessly intuitive. It even encompasses a collectible card game style policy system, which determines the upgrades and boosts you can employ in your Government –– a setup that expands and progresses as you move into new eras to unlock more card slots.ĭespite so much more to think about in any given turn, Civilization 6 doesn’t overburden you with its information. This not only allows for more inventive cultural victories it actively encourages adaptation, experimentation and adventurous decision making. Previously, the Technology tree plotted your path from the ancient eras through to the 21st century, but Civilization 6 splits advancement into two separate trees, extrapolating all of the cultural and political progression and plonking it into a new Civics tree. There’s also a massive change to way you advance through history. The latter isn’t nearly as dynamic as the other victories available to you, (Domination, Science and Cultural) and instead can feel a bit spammy as you recruit any number of theological missionaries to spread The Word into other civilisations but it does add interesting interactions between each empire. Victory conditions have also received a considerable shake-up in Civilization 6 – Diplomacy is no longer its own victory condition, while Religion is. All of these also have individual buildings that get created within those districts, too, so the Bank will always be built within the Commercial Hub, while the Armory will only ever exist in your militarised Encampment. The Campus encompasses all of your science based buildings, while the Theatre Square is the cultural centre for your city’s culture output. Each district and every Wonder has different adjacency bonuses that change depending on the land that they’re built on or near – mountains give a huge boost to science, for example – and districts can’t be moved once built, nor do the buildings housed within them ever change. Not only does it hand you more control in laying out your civilization on the map, but it also has a far greater effect on the choices that you make upon every single turn. These unique tile upgrades are separate to the farms and mines that still exist to provide your people with vital resources like wood and stone, but make expansion more creative while giving you a level of customisation over cities. Rather than have all of your buildings indistinguishably occupy one physical hex grid on the map (which is a really odd way of looking at cities, when you think about it), Civilization 6 adds Districts to spread your urban centres across a much larger landmass. The game’s biggest mechanical change is the unstacking of cities. Whether you’re up against the pompous Philip II of Spain, the imposingly fierce Tomyris of Scythia, or the philosophising Pericles of ancient Greece, Civilization 6 is a game that’s charming and comical as well as historical.

It also capitalises on the intense charisma of some of history’s greatest and most infamous leaders, injecting the game with buckets of personality great voice acting, lavish detailing and uncanny animations bring its characters to life.

But it does more than just surpass all these lofty expectations from get-go Civilization 6 compounds the numerous learnings and features of its forebears, while being familiar yet exciting, deep yet streamlined, and complex yet approachable in how it presents all of its uniquely inventive systems.ĭeveloper Firaxis makes great use of human history –– its achievements, flaws and in the case of the nukes, its self-destructive ambition. After Civilization 5 got off to a slow start and the Civilization: Beyond Earth spin-off experiment never hit its stride, this is a sequel with a lot of ground to cover.

Civilization 6 is not just a great strategy game –– it’s a remarkable comeback.
