Three Moves Ahead 540


A Send Off to Civilization 6
Troy, Len, and Jon sit down to discuss the Civilization 6 New Frontiers DLC pass and where the king of 4X stands in 2021. How does Civ 6 now compare to launch five years ago? How have its modern competitors changed our perception of and relationship with it? Is Sid still the gold standard to beat?

Civilization 6, Humankind, Old World

They covered the idea of accessibility, but one of the other things I appreciate a lot about Civ 6 is the 2D-map-mode. Unlike previous entries, in Civ 6 the 2D-map-mode actually doesn't bother rendering the standard 3D-map-mode at all (and you can set the game to launch directly into the 2D mode in the options!). For Civ 4 and Civ 5 in particular (when Civ first became 3D) the game has been moderately demanding of your graphics card, but Civ 6 gets to have the best of both worlds with a pretty 3D mode and a graphics-light 2D mode. That push to accomodate a wide range of computer systems is part of the reason I think Civ 6 has managed to port to so many platforms (iOS, Switch, and so on).
