There’s a long history of Civilization board games, from a 1980 title that kinda inspired the video game series to a number of versions (in 2002 and 2010) that have in turn been based on the video games. We can now add one more to the list, this time based loosely on Civilization VI.
Alongside the release of Nubia, Civilization VI has a “Summer Update” out today that makes a number of surprisingly major changes to the game.
Civilization VI has had a quiet few months, interrupted today by the announcement of the game’s newest leader: Amanitore, a Nubian Queen.
Hey Civ fans: here’s a talk given at this year’s GDC by none other than Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley, co-creators of the original 1991 game. It runs for over an hour. You should watch it.
Here’s Seamang64 playing Civ VI on his laptop, able to claim that he “built Oxford University in Oxford in Oxford University in Oxford”.
These are the top two reviews for Civilization VI on Steam at the moment.
I have seen many reasons given by major publishers for the distribution of free content, but international currency discrepancies is a new one. Yet that’s what is happening with Civilization VI, with 2K announcing a whole range of new stuff that’s going to be given away free to owners of the game’s Digital Deluxe…
Earlier Civilization games feature prominently in just about every PC gaming sale under the sun, but the price tag for Civ VI has been remarkably stubborn. Today though, Amazon’s offering it up for $40, the best price they’ve ever listed. Also available at Green Man Gaming. We don’t know how long this deal will last,…
One of the most annoying issues with Civ VI’s AI since launch has been the severity of warmonger penalties. Raise a finger against another Civ ever, even in defence, and you’re in trouble for the rest of the game. That’s not very fair, so it’s getting a fix.
It’s been five months since Civ VI was released, and if you thought—like with Civ V—that you’d be waiting years for the game to get better, boy have I got news for you.
Civilization VI has had a strong launch, but there’s been one thing holding it back lately: Steam Workshop support didn’t ship alongside the game in October, which means the modding scene hasn’t really taken off. It will now, because the game’s “Australian Summer 2017" update is now live.
For the first time in series history, Australia is going to be a playable faction in a Civilization game. You bloody ripper.
Ramba with the cute Civ VI jokes.
Civilization VI is a very good video game! It’s also got some weird complexities and systems that aren’t explained properly, as well as some neat little headen features, so here are some tips for getting the most out of it.
Civilization VI’s barbarians work much like they do in every other game in the series. Well, mostly. There are a few frustrating exceptions.
Civilization V is one of the greatest video games of all time, and one of the oft-overlooked reasons why isn’t its “one more turn” systems or balance, but its cartoon leaders. Despite their exaggerated appearance they feel alive, and it was cool to see this aspect of the game not just retained, but improved for …
Last month, Firaxis quietly released the first new content for Civilization VI, the Winter Update, adding a new Civ and some scenarios. It’s a hit-and-miss affair.
One of the more pleasant surprises with how good Civ VI has been out of the gates has been the game’s urban planning system. Something Haphaz77 has shown off here to terrific effect.
Thomas Barber Coberly died, without warning, on May 1st, 2016, at exactly 7:04 in the morning. A heart attack, or maybe an aneurysm. It really doesn’t matter, at this point. The ambulance came promptly, but he died shortly after arriving at the hospital.
