Civ series have been going down in my interest since Civ 5 and Civ BE. The initial launches' diplomacy was sadly very disappointing ( i remembered it being useless and broken? ) along with the various limiter on civilization's expansion

Civ 6 is more expansive than 5, but it suffers from being rather slow paced due to the UI issues and a lot of AI leader spam. The diplomacy is unfortunately the worst it has been for a while.

I am not sure if I can recommend the game yet. I got it when it was half off personally, but I thought the districts, corps/fleets, and tile management were novel enough to keep playing.

Sees a 50% off coupon for Civ 6 deluxe version in inventory when logging on.

Notices game is still $60 after that discount.

Oh well, maybe the price will be reasonable in 2020.

[Archon_Wing]

The coupon is pretty worthless, as there will probably be a sale next week.

Also that price should be the deluxe edition price which has all those DLCs. Not needed for the most part.

Rise and Fall Expansion

Sigh, they can't even fix start locations for 2 months (had to download a user fix), yet they're doing a new expansion.

Honestly, the game is fun but stuff like that really makes me hesitate... probably wait for it to go on sale. Well, at least the return of city culture revolts is good. Ah, and circumnavigation. Basically stuff from civ 4. =p

Meanwhile....

Rise and Fall is out, and the changes are tremendous. I was surprised how they came up with all these ideas, but it does fix a lot of issues such as AI settling too close to you (you'll flip it away with loyalty).

It also brings back famous douchebags in Civ such as Shaka and Khan, for those that were bored with a lack of good war.

Governors make it so you can have super cities again instead of just city spamming.

And as usual the soundrrack is great; Korea's medieval version of their theme is really catchy.

Civ 6 has everything on sale on Greenmangaming.

Good price I think.

They put in Canada...

So snow and something about hockey.

I will say this as a Canadian, it feel like a mix bag of subtile choice and easy steretype, at least they went for hockey instead of curling. The music going from folkloric from Québec (a call to Nouvelle-France), to something more english-like and endding with pretty much a modified ''O Canada'' is a nice call back to history.

Civilization VI trailer looks very epic. I definitely should play it! Now I just need to find some spare time for all my plans...
