Makes sense. I often want a different experience, but my strategic, simulation, and role-playing inclinations tend to make games play out similarly at the macro-level.

Has GMG sent out any of the keys yet? I see that Steam preload is up.
Yeah I got my key a few hours ago

Ah thanks! I guess mine is still on its way.
I more often than not went for war victories in Civ V. It does get tedious after a while though, especially pre expansion Civ V where you could just fly stealth bombers in almost anywhere. Once trading was introduced I was more inclined to control the strong nations via trade embargos, and then declare war on them once I had stripped them of trade revenue and resources. This required me playing nice with weaker nations to have them on my side of the vote when the time came.
I love these games.
I feel like I always start out with an attempt at Culture or Tech victory, but by the time I hit the Industrial era I just go full on conquest as I usually can out produce or straight up buy units and wipe the opposition pretty easily.
This normally happens as a result of some other Civ declaring war on me and I just don't give in until they're history. I think it's been years since I offered a peace deal.

I am a woefully passive player. Culture or tech all day erry day, mostly tech. I just wanna build stuff, man.

I always went for Tech victory, then BNW's changes to Cultural victory made me go for that instead once in a while. With Civ VI's changes, I'll probably turn into main Cultural; it just seems like a lot of fun.
I usually hit a passive victory but have one-three centuries-long wars somewhere in there. CiVI I'm sure will be different but I imagine I'll stick to maki in general numbers go up over punching people. Especially since barbs will be a bigger part of the game and scratch some of that itch.

Aren't the discounts just baked into the price at release now? It's showing as 47.99 in my cart on gmg.

Dang, that was a heck of a trailer. This is coming out at the worst time for me though, I have absolutely no time to play this

So this is released 11pm Central time on the 20th(Thursday)? Got it preloaded. Just went basic edition as I'm poor, plus we have no idea what the other content is or even when it's coming out, or how much one would be saving.
yeah I noticed that on GMG after seeing it mentioned here that you need to add it in your cart to see the discount.. I thought it was rather odd they wouldn't be advertising the discount on their page though
if you pre-loaded there should be a checkmark by the DLC, it will say not installed because nothing is installed until it is decrypted.

mad hyped for this, preloading now as I speak
absolutely the bare minimum in social contact this weekend

Yeah it definitely is weird that it's not even listed in the VIP deals or store page.
Andd that launch trailer made me finalize my purchase. Can't wait for Friday!
Edit: GMG is outta keys atm, nice, wish they had that disclaimer before I bought it lol.

Alright. Thanks. That's exactly what it says.
Depends on the region you buy. First time in a long time GMG gave me a EU specific key - or rather that is what 2k have decided. Makes key purchases from alternate sources (where keys have changed hands) a lot more sketchy
How can you tell on GMG though? I only see one option of the game and no mention of region at all.
I assume it's based on your IP

It says it's out of keys, but yet my key was at the bottom of the page after checkout, and I got an email instantly with my key too. And yeah the 20% off is applied at checkout!
I'm installing it now!!!!
You can't; I mean, you should expect that if a store is selling it to you that it is going to be valid for the region you are in - unless you are using the grey market, in which case you will not know the origin of the keys. For sites that don't disclose on the page / you don't know of having a good reputation, you either have to find a different website that flat out tells you or ask the store. You have to activate and find out otherwise.

Do we know if this game will sell exclusively via Steam, or are the other major online stores participating? I'm trying to find a deal and Steam is the most expensive one...

Considering you can pre-order at a ton of places, I think it's safe to say that you can buy it elsewhere.

Ughhhhh Amazon give me notice that The special edition is gonna be here by Friday :c
Same here. I can't decide so I'll let the Civ Gods choose for me.
Probably Pericles. I want to start with something that'll be flexible and adaptable as I learn the game.
Probably Greece. Maybe Germany, Rome, or one of the east Asian civilizations (do they just have Japan and China or Korea too in Civ VI? Mostly in the dark).

I was thinking Sumeria. Usually play a little more aggressive and Gilgamesh sounds great for that. Gorgo would be a good option for me, too.
Japan and China are in the base game

Just wanted to throw it on the pile - In NA, if you add Civ 6 to your cart at GMG it will show as 20% off. It does not show the correct price at the store.
Edit: I also got the key immediately in my email, despite them saying that they have run out of keys.

Any place where you can read the tech or policy tree? I dont want to have to read it when playing.

I don't know. I'll peruse the list, but I'll probably play America for my first game. Doesn't matter, I'll eventually play them all....
Marbozir did a video for each of the two, going through them in detail.
I don't know where you can find them in text form.

Nice. I was worried since a lot of places merely sell you Steam codes so you end up with Steam anyway. Good to know.

I'm gonna play as Norway for my first go.
I play Emperor on Civ V so I think I'll start down a level on King in my first game. Standard map, standard speed, I'll probably add 2 Civs as well for a total of 10. Fractal Map.
