While many of these were setbacks, I put myself in place for them by settling near where the later yields would see me flourish- so I only have myself to blame. Tornados have surprisingly damage my troops, dust storm have wreaked having, droughts have limited me when I really need to grow, and so on. Additionally, I play with climate settings maxed out, so I regularly get flooded and volcanoed (I've lost many citizens already, once a catastrophe that wiped a 10 pop mega-city of it's time down to a 3 pop rural outpost (remember, in civ games population has an exponential relationship to number of fictional people).
CIVILIZATION VI METACRITIC UPGRADE
Map: Not only has there been a massive and appreciable aesthetic upgrade (my fiancee that doesn't even play commented on this), but the map generation is more interesting and better developed.
As Phoenicia, my empire is built around my "colonies", as my new distant capital citizens refer to them, and I've got harbors out the wazoo. When I play as Mali, I'm working to maximize trade, building walls (because I have enough units and all my buildings and districts have been bought- thanks Reyna and Moksha), and generally feeling like an unparalleled economic powerhouse. More importantly, unlike most of the DLC and Rise & Fall civs, the civs of Gathering Storm feel like they bring unique approaches to how I play the game (even Canada, completely changing early game diplomacy without Surprise Wars). The new ensemble brings several needed favorites, and they sre balanced by new and replacement civs that haven't left me disappointed (except maybe Canada, but then I may immigrate there some day, so I'll keep an open mind). This was not the case, for me, with Gathering Storm. ", which was rare before this expansion in Civ VI.Ĭivilizations: I honestly didn't know what to expect of the civ selections prior to the leak, because the last several announcements for Rise and Fall were truly underwhelming. The world feels real, diplomacy matters much more, resources are now handled more logically, and the new civilizations bring variety to how the game is played.
Overall: This is the game it was meant to be. Overall, Civilization VI: Gathering Storm is a nice expansion and worth the extra cost. I think this is a huge improvement over the old mechanic, in which many times, you only had one field of the resource you need close, and the first possible field is miles away from you. The more fields you own, the faster this process goes. Instead of the need to own two or more resources to build a stronger unit, you can just have one tile and the resources will slowly increase. They add new challenge to the game and let you think about the placement of your new cities, the need to build damns and the constant repairing of destroyed tiles because of a tornado or sandstorm. The disasters are cool but really frustrating at the same time. This expansion, Gathering Storm adds natural disasters, and a new mechanic to gather resources. There is some new and relaxing music, more factions and overall, it is a huge improvement over the previous game. It offers new mechanics, tons of stuff to do and build and a fresh new look over the older games. Civilization is one of my all-time favorite games, and the leap from the fifth to the sixth game is epic.
