CIVILIZATION VI - First Look: America

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

-There's another video, First Look: Unstacking Cities - CIVILIZATION VI at AC2...

[The Mad Monk]

Looks pretty cool.

First glance at Teddy, I thought, "was he really that fat?"

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

That's the biggest he ever got, if that - hardly typical.

[Ming]

So now we know 2 of the four victory conditions. Space Race as seen in one video, and cultural as seen in this video

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

SPACE RACE!

-I should probably actually WATCH the thing all the way through, instead of just glancing around for screenshot opportunities...

[Ming]

While he didn't confirm it... he really couldn't deny it when they showed the rocket taking off to another planet and everybody was saying how cool it looked

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I wonder what planet?

[blinks innocently]

[Dinner]

I still have reservations about 1UPT and the AI being able to effectively use it but I did like what I saw in the video.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

They're modifying 1UPT to make it less of a tedious grind, aren't they?

[The Mad Monk]

But, how do you modify "1"?

[Lorizael]

You'll be able to do some combined arms stacking and eventually stack units of the same type into armies.

[The Mad Monk]

...but that's not really 1, is it? It's "starts off as 1,then kinda sorta becomes not 1".

[Ming]

We shall see...
If they can do anything to make combat better, I'm all for it. But I have my doubts since they seem to think Civ V was a GREAT game.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

No telling what they think - they're hardly going to be eager to admit the last was a dud, in public.

[Ming]

They wouldn't have to admit it was a dud...

They could be saying... We are taking Civ VI to new levels... changing the game all the way down to the basics to provide a new, thrilling and better experience...
Instead, most of their comments seem to be talking about how Civ V is the base of Civ VI.

I'm not optimistic... yet
