Civilization VI

Dutch 2nd announced expansion civilization.

Look very good on paper with abilities also tuned into the loyalty system and strong navy.
 
Oh god, Mongolia.

"Let's celebrate our togetherness with a declaration of friendship."

a few turns later

"DIE! WAR! Your lands will be mine!!"
 
Pretty impressive but at $30 it's not going to gain much traction with the wider public, doubly so when it jumps to $60 from January 4th.

I'll probably buy it all the same. More features is also a plus and considering all the DLC they have given me for free so far because I bought the deluxe edition I'm not complaining. This'll be the first piece of DLC I have had to pay for.
 
I'm not sure why but this version of Civ has failed to draw me in. I doubt that I would pay the asking price for the expansion because of that feeling about the game.
I still only have 21 hours of play time and yet I would have expected to have had hundreds by now.

Yep this is a wait it out job and pick it up when they are all done and dusted and started work on Civ 7
 
Took me a while to work out why I was missing lots of the new civilisations. For some reason they were disabled in the settings.

My current tally, according to Steam, is..

Civ 5 = 229 hours
Civ 6 = 278 hours

Now the caveat to that is that I obviously owned Civ 5 for a lot longer than I've owned Civ 6. So far, Civ 6 - despite not feeling like its clicked with me as much as Civ 5 , has in fact turned out to be played more. I never ever play solo on Civ though, I always only play multiplayer on giant marathon maps. I'm really looking forward to the expansion, the return of governors, individual city loyalties and 8 new civs is pretty good content for an expansion imo.

(something really nuts, is that my missus steam says that her tally so far for Civ 6 is 770 hours :) )

Out of curiosity I looked at my Steam stats for Civ V, I bought the game in Sept 2010 and yet I only have 250 hours of game play, I really thought that it would have been much more than that...!
Cities Skylines at 400 hours seems about right.
I have never played multiplayer with any of the Civ games, my erratic playing times, and overall preference for SP, means that it has never appealed to me.

I would like to think that the expansion would be more meaningful to me but unless I get more hours into the base game, along the DLC I have already bought, it will just be another one on my ever growing list of back burner "bought but hardly played" games.

I have enough of those already...!

770 hours - simply WOW - I guess that you do the housework at home ;)
 
Civ VI was released October 21st last year, so about 430 days ago. That's about 1 hour and 50 minutes a day. A lot, sure, but not totally insane.
