Civilization VI

[Tombstone]

The huge map seems pretty small. Did a couple of games with 8 total players on a huge map and all the civs started close to each other and the overall map didnt seem terribly large.

Says on the game creation tooltip that huge is for 12 players but the map seems to small for that. Also if you try and select more than 8 players it says Unsupported number of players, which struck me as odd given that it said on the description that it was for 12 players.

On the plus side, played multiplayer for several hours and didnt encounter any sync issues or glitches

That can't be right, can it??

Can't seem to add to basket. Must be a steam screw up.

gutted.

It says this further down:
Steam Pre-Purchase Customers: For a limited time, the Steam Controller will be 40% off for customers that pre-purchased Civilization VI or Civilization VI Digital Deluxe through Steam.

Suggests its a discount off the controller IF you pre purchased already, not a bundle price. Really badly presented offer tho if so.

 

[Marky]

Yeah I think that's £24 for the Steam controller if you buy Civ with it. Looks like a bugged item. Should be showing both game and controller for £73.98.

Love that reviews and general opinion seems to be good for this

Anyone with a GTX 970, share your performance views?

My dad has a £400 HP Laptop jobby that he plays Civ 5 on and he's wondering how well Civ 6 might run? I'll double check with him later about which graphics card it has (it's an AMD of some type).

Has anyone else found that the F12 screenshot key does not seem to work when in-game....?

Working fine for me. My biggest issue is getting hammered by these barbarians

 

[Omaeka]

lol Steam next level useless as per.

 

[Vimes]

Working fine for me. My biggest issue is getting hammered by these barbarians

Thanks for that. With more testing I have found that it is RivaTuner which prevents the Steam overlay from working with this game and so no F12 screenshot function.

Anyone having issues dragging the camera around when holding LMB? It doesn't work properly for me :/

I haven't been playing long and just met my first neighbour, America, A few go's later he's telling me how he likes how I'm conducting myself as I've since met a city state and another AI player and we're all on good terms, A couple of goes after that he's starting a war with me via a surprise attack, As I take a couple of goes to pull troops in to protect Bristol he destroys a couple of plantations then attacks the city and after losing 2 squads he withdraws and offers peace, I accept, then straight away he's complaining that I have troops near his borders.

God help me!

True civ fashion that

 

[Smokey Deza]

Shock horror - I hate it :/

Watching people on twitch, it's really hard to follow what's going on with the colour scheme. Civ 5 was quite crystal clear in that regard. These colours just seem to blend a bit too much.

Anyone else feel the same after playing it? Maybe it's just when you watch it.

 

[Droolinggimp]

Had a quick go as Rome. Made friends with Brazil and have been attacked about 8 times by barbarians there is no stopping them. I like the distrcits thing, makes city planning a bit more of a thing to do early game. Quite an in depth version of Civ so I will take my time and read up on the civpedia in agme and see what is what.

Over all it plays well, smooth but the turns take alittle longer than civ 5 anyway. I can imagine I ill be sinking a few hours in this whilst little one is in bed later.

 

[Efour]

Im playing it with GF and a mate

-GF, very good at civ 5, is getting raped by barbarians non stop. She's hating it
-Mate new to Civ is loving it.
-I'm liking it but I HATE the diplomacy screen its complete junk. I know they will have to patch it soon. I hope within a month but right now its actually useless IMHO.

 

[No1newts]

Pretty good initial impression but the amount of barbarians at the start is pretty hefty, it makes me feel like the game is forcing me to go down military routes.

 

[benjii]

I've never played a Civ game, but I certainly am interested. What's the verdict on VI as an introduction to the series?

why the performance is so bad? I mean the civ5 looks more visually impressive (IMO) and yet it manage 60fps+ with gpu's that are 3 times slower than the 1060. the civ6 is brilliant but the optimization is terrible.

Them performance figures cant be right.

For ref im using a 980ti at 1920x1080 and have to manual lock the fps at 144 in afterburner to stop the card screaming.
