  • I heard that Civ VI was free

    So I downloaded it from Epic Games. It sucks, but I'll probably play it a bit for old time's sake. Looking round here, I see that lots of old faces reappeared, which is pretty cool!

    Yeah, it is free right now. It doesn’t seem people want to spend actual money on it.

      I just spent $12 for Gathering Storm. I have been really enjoying it recently.

          I enjoyed both, but after playing 5 for a while I returned to 4. I haven't went back to 4 since I started playing 6... but I did play other games, until I got R&F.

          I think 6 with R&F (and probably GS) is legitimately challenging 4 and 2 for best Civ.

              The two expansions, Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm. You get the upgrades (but not standalone option or leaders) of Rise and Fall with Gathering Storm.

                What's with the graphics problem message.

                  I recommend starting with Gilgamesh.

                      I just recently bought the "Frontiers DLC Pack" on Steam because I'm a sucker and really enjoyed playing Canada on my last playthrough. All my kids now have CivVI base game on Epic as well though, so I may end up with a double-install if I can convince them to play that. Though right now we're all playing Stardew Valley together.

                      Civ and WoW are my crack... just one... more... turn...

                        Epic offers it free through 5/28, Windows only, 64-bit. Nice!

                        But shouldn't everything just be browser-based by now?

                            so I can DL it from Epic with no strings attached?

                            I'm on an old system with XP and a slow connection, I've DLed patches and variants but not a whole civ game. I'll check it out.

                              Downloaded and installed Epic and Civ VI.
                              Still get ****ing message, "No compatible graphics device found".
                              Now what?
