Which is the main reason why i am so disappointed at the lack of DLL modding for Civ VI. And in both these cases the vast AI improvements came from community patches being worked on for years after the games release. In fact i'll go further and say that in my opinion Civ V with Vox Populi and Endless Legend with the community patch are the two best 4x games ever.Īfter I put thousand of hours into 4x games the capability of the AI became much more important to me than lots of new features. I also hope it teaches Firaxis a thing or two and that they course correct when developing VII.Ĭlick to expand.It does however have an incredible community patch which vastly improves the AI and makes it one of the best 4x games I've ever played. I have hope, based on Amplitude's previous track record and their open-dev process that Humankind will be a great option for people looking for a meatier and more thought-out historical 4X game. It's like a toy-box full tons of cheap plastic toys that some kid has chewed and drooled on. In VI, all the expansions do, as many have stated in this tread, is add more broken mechanics on top of other broken mechanics without tying anything together into a single holistic system of play. III and V started out very weak, but the expansions filled them out and added depth. I've played every Civ since I and VI is by far the weakest.

I haven't sunk this few hours into a Civ game since at least Civ III, if ever. In fact, it's the only thing that is fun about Civ IV. With so many civs in the game now, a lot of them, especially the early release civs, have lost their flavor, but the district system is still fun. When Civ 6 was announced I was excited that they went more in that direction with the civs and also added districts. I really liked Endless Legend and thought that the way the factions we're extremely differentiated from each other made it fun to play each one.
