Whereas with Civ 5 I feel that once you have the general gist of how things work mastering the game is just a matter of practise.Īll of that said though, mods change the nature of each game and if you enjoy them I do recommend using at least the mods which make quality-of-life improvements. Easier to start playing, but difficult to master so to speak. Mechanically speaking though, I think it's actually quite complicated. IMO it's a little ironic actually, that the graphics and the UI of Civ 6 make it visually simpler and more appealing to new players. And the loyalty mechanic means that if the AI settles a prime location next to your capital it's likely to flip to your ownership anyway - so forward settling is not as much of a nuisance as it used to be. Production is probably the most imporant yield rather than science, and is more readily available. There is often no real penalty for expanding, so it can be more fun if you enjoy that style of play. On the other hand, Civ 6 favours wide play over tall. The adjacency system can be a lot of fun, but also involves a little bit of a learning curve.
For example taking cities often requires support units rather than just cannons, and a lot of buildings require the related districts to be built first. Civ 6 is actually more complicated than Civ 5 in a number of ways. Civ has an aeshetic that I really like, and that's something where some people are simply going to prefer one over the other.Ĭiv 6 makes barbarians much more of a threat, founding a religion is a little more complicated IMO (because it involves great person points rather than just straight faith). Science is probably the yield that is dominant in that game. It also favours tall gamplay, which is to say founding fewer cities and improving each of them to be the best they can. I also recommend it to anyone who enjoys modding, because most of the fun that I have with the game at the moment comes from the very impressive mods for the game (I like Vox Populi myself) which improve the gameplay and put it more of less on par with modded Civ 6 Rising Storm.įor a comparison of the games unmodded, I would say that Civ 5 puts an emphasis on trading and international relationships and does that really well. I would reccomend it to anyone who doesn't have the cash for Civ 6 + the expansions at the moment. That said, I still play Civ 5 primarily and enjoy it a lot. I would reccomend Civ 6 for most people just because it's got a lot of fun gameplay elements that the previous editions didn't have. Well tbh the situation has changed a little since them, with the release of the Rising Storm expansion.
