Sid Meier's Civilization VI announced, release date is the 21th of October. It seems odd that would wait so long to announced it with a release date so soon.

Pretty epic intro video. And it looks like they are keeping the same hexagon spacing from Civ V.

I may need to buy a SSD ... load times of Civ V. lol

I was thinking it looked a little cartoon-y, but i remember thinking the same of SC2.

edit: the more i'm looking at it, the more I'm liking it.

Well art is art

My favorite SM title is Colonization personally. I've spent so much time on that game.

I like the more abstract style over an attempt at "realism".

Screenshots look ugly and I hate their dlc model, I'm not convinced. If I remember correctly Civ V was also a bad game right after it's release so probably it's better to wait some time before buying

This. It looks so much cleaner too.

It's absurd that we have had a number of turn based strategy games where you can't distinguish what anything on the map is without looking at icons. Presentation of game elements is what the map is for. The fact strategy games need an icon map on top of the actual map to tell us what everything on the map is is beyond absurd.

Pretty much. Not a fan of the art direction in this one, to be honest, but if the game's good it won't pose a big issue.

Everyone likes different things and I like the art direction of Civ 6 and I like the art of Civ 2. I didn't like it in Civ 3, 4 and 5 and their expansions.

I'm okay with the art-- the most important thing is that the units are distinct and easily identifiable. Makes things a lot easier on the eyes during the long gaming marathons.

Also would not be surprised to see the devs put this out on mobile platforms (this is apparently a brand new engine, and the graphics look fairly simple), which probably also factored into the art decision.

On another note, I wonder if Sean Bean will be doing all the in-game narration.
