Three-way tie between France, Spartan Greece, and Scythia.

Just got an email from Amazon.
Anniversary Edition will be delivered Friday!
Are there any reviews and hands on impressions for this yet?
China sounds powerful to me in a builder way it would be nice to learn how the new city system works with them. Pericles sounds like a good choice too to get used to the new civics system and city state relationships.
Still waiting to see if GMG has a sale at release, do they typically wait for the game to be released to start their sale or does it start a few days before?
is there any footage out where this game doesn't look a full generation behind civ 5?
i can happily plug away at utilitarian paradox interfaces, but this clash of clans heinousness is too much.

usually the day before. They seem to be taking a different approach this time, trying to get you to buy Civ and another game 20-25% off instead. It'll backfire on them
Unless it changed or was an error, it is on sale in the US. I got the deluxe edition for 20% off earlier. The deal didn't show up until I logged in and put the game into my cart on GMG, though.
When's the last time you played Civ 5? Everything about it looks incredibly dated now, besides the UI. Low res textures being the main offender, but Civ 6 generally looks better in every way and has a lot more personality. I guess some people are put off by the "cartoony" style but I think it's perfect.
last week. still looks incredible, painterly even.
civ 5 vs. civ 6 is like john constable vs. king.com intern.
You remind me of Homer Simpson asking are we there yet? You don't like the graphics? They will not change significantly. It's a dead horse, don't beat it no more.you remind me of when people started digging out the original star wars to justify jar jar poo doo gags.
it looks like a tablet game mate. a decent tablet game, but a tablet game. with all the flat gradients and bulbous art design to go with.
civ always had a reverence to it, a bit of class. now it's just another youtube thumbnail screaming for your attention by looking like everything else.

whys it gotta come out on friday
whyyyy
Debating on whether I should get this. Any tech gurus, if I can run Civ V, should I be able to run this fine?
On GMG it gives you 2 keys.Does anyone who bought the game have Aztec DLC entry in Steam, or if you bought from GMG do you have a separate key for Aztec Civ access?
Getting conflicting responses about this...
while I prefer Civ V's artstyle, to assume that VI's graphics is a "downgrade" that it is for tablets is hilarious
I purchased from WinGameStore and got two keys. Game proper and Aztec DLC.

1 is the game the other is the Aztec DLC.
Now that Ive seen lots of Civ 6 in motion Im honestly okay with the graphics of it. While I love the way that Civ 5 looks, I did often have problems discerning details from the map due to busy clutter and noise. I often wished they would clean up the graphics to make it easier to pull out details at a glance, and it seems that Civ 6 has addressed that issue for me.
But then Im not usually fussy about graphics in games, Im much more interested in great gameplay than super realistic graphics. Master of Magic is over 20 years old now yet I still consider it one of the best fantasy 4X games ever made and I still play it now and then, despite it literally looking like Civilization 1. Fucking Civ ONE. So yeah Im not on the whole Civ 6 looks like a tablet game train at all.

I just realized something though; I hope it's just a steam key because my current rig doesn't actually have a DVD drive in it. >_>
I also got the anniversary edition from Amazon. Does anyone know how we get the pre-order bonus?
You should be good.
Master of Magic? I knew I liked you.
My avatar gives it away. Torin the Chosen forever!!!!
I would love for someone to make a modern MoM, preferably in the style of Civ 5 / 6 but with the good old tactical combat and huge plethora of spells. I own War of Magic, Age of Wonder, Fallen Enchantress, no one seems able to re-create whatever it was that makes MoM so good to play and re-play over and over again. Such a shame.
I keep listening to music tracks from Civ 6 on youtube. This is going to be a long week .
