question is, whereabouts in the tech tree does he snuff it?

Where's the petition I need to sign to keep him alive

Has anyone found a way to stop the screen snapping back to a location after each turn has processed, it's mildly frustrating as i like to look around freely but end up back at aztec hq all the time

It does this when major events are happening, not when nothing happens.

Dang, bought a pre-loaded this today from GreenMan Gaming, didn't realise I could have gone through topcashback as well.

Ahh well, will be good to play

I love this game!

How's the performance?

Stock the 1080 and everything maxed out at 2560x1440 avg is 100fps.

No idea about fps on an r9 390x, but haven't noticed any stuttering at all so far. As for loading, and turn times; very quick on a 2500k at 4.5 GHz. Still in ancient era though!

I only need to know one thing... is it anywhere near as good as Alpha Centauri?

(Of course it won't be, silly question, that game is the pinnacle of Civ games!)

Mine said it needed around 7.7Gb of disk space, I didn't look at what the download size was.

Just downloaded it onto the second computer, it's 4.4Gb download (Deluxe version) with 7.7Gb disk space needed so the 3.9 vs 7 thing was probably people talking about different numbers.

Will have to wait until the giddy, new civ euphoria passes to give any real judgement!

lol Foxeye that was exactly the question I came here to ask. I tried with Civ4 but just can't get into it yet I used to play Alpha Centauri for 10 hours straight, many a time!!

Wish I could get into these Civ games but either I'm not getting it or just don't care...

I noticed my 3.9Gb pre-load downloaded a bit more tonight, now 4.4Gb. But yeah I think you're right that 7.7Gb was space required.

Anyway, can't wait to play this tomorrow, proper excited!

Wish I'd thought to take the day off, though I have the week after next off so there will be plenty of Civ VI played then!

Yep, I find that quite annoying!

Trouble is they absolutely nailed it with SMAC (thanks, Brian Reynolds!). It's not really fair for me to ask if any new Civ is as good as SMAC, it's an impossible ask

Has anyone got a Local Network game working? When I create a game it doesnt show on the wifes list. Only Internet game works and even then only if we make it public rather than private

EDIT : nevermind, schoolboy error, firewall was blocking it

So how are you guys finding the art style, do you like the cartoony new look, or would you prefer the more realistic art style?

REALLY like the art, wasnt too sure I would , even though I recently grew to like it in videos I saw but in motion, looks great

Anyone know what tech or civic allows embarkation? I can't see it!

Edit: I've just found it!

I was looking for a little icon for embarkation, but actually it depends on the unit/tech. Sailing = builders, Celestial Navigation = Traders, and Shipbuilding = all units!
