Description

I hope you'll enjoy this. I don't own Civ VI, so I can't say I care much about it.

You need to own the "global" version of Civ VI to be able to activate this DLC.

While you're here, let me ask you something: how does Civilization VI holds up compared to its predecessor (I've only played Civ V)?

Gah, after copy and pasting every single combination of the letters, I realised I needed the name of the game in the URL as well. I made it impossible for myself.

As for Civ VI, I feel each Civ game tends to become less complex where it should be more complex, and more complex where it should be less, if you get my drift. Note that I don't have the Rise and Fall expansion. I generally play on King level.

Civ V was a great game (with all the expansions installed), and I played a lot of it. I find myself not playing so much Civ VI due to the complexity of picking good city locations, and the general crowded-ness of the standard map. I find that I start picking various locations based on terrain bonuses, but then discover a nearby Civ or city state that makes that spot become useless. I get the "one more turn" feeling from the game, not to find out what happens next, but to make sure I get stuff done before I save, as if I come back to a game the next day, I've forgotten what my plan was.

Most of my games these days get to about Renaissance era and my interest is starting to wane. Most of the land is taken and there are units everywhere. I could probably set up my games on a larger map, or select less civs, but my understanding is the map generator is set to make sure there is someone else nearby.

That said, I think it's a better game than Civ V. The unpacking of the cities into districts is an interesting mechanic that goes against my play style that I've developed from the original Civilization. But it still feels artificial, just like it's adding an extra step into the process that you were going to do anyway. I think my evaluation of what makes a "good" city location needs to adapt (which it hasn't yet). I so used to just building everything in every city that I find it hard to focus a cities strength and ignore what it doesn't need.

Dunno if that helps you out at all, but just writing it out has certainly given me a few ideas. Might be time to get back into another game. I'll wait till tomorrow though, as I currently have a 50/50 chance of getting anew DLC :)

Thanks for doing the give away!

You... don't need to put the name of the game in the URL though, it works fine as long as you remember to put a forward slash after the combination of letters, like so: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/GEpYW/

Anyhow, thanks for your insight on Civ VI, I might actually buy it once I'm done with most of my huge backlog.

EDIT: To think you didn't win this coinflip... what rotten luck, I'm truly sorry for you.

Ah well. Maybe next time.

Yeah I wasn't putting the slash in either. Had to hunt down a previous entry for this title so I could make sure I had the exact game name and formatting.
