Civilization VII

[Syt]

I saw I can get Civ6 on my phone via my Netflix subscription now.

I am bored and this looks like it might be fun. So I guess I will buy the founders edition for 129 Euro. 

I'll buy in a few years: platinum edition or some such at 5 euros

The future is now.

watching a Quill18 game where Catherine the Great, in full Russian regalia, is leader of the Greek Civilization, is a bit jarring. 

Not sure if that's the way to go then, or the Humankind way of non-real characters.

PC Gamer makes a low risk prediction: Civ VII will be divisive:

But then, most Civs from 4 onwards have been.

I might stay away from online opinions when I play it myself to not get mired in the "THEY RUINED IT FOREVER" and "CIV2 [or 3, or 4, or 5, or 6] WERE PINNACLE!" threads that will doubtlessly pop up everywhere

Yeah that's probably a good idea

The general tenor among previewers seems to be that the changes are more drastic than with any other mainline release, so it might be worse. But I'm sure Firaxis is very much expecting same.

Then again, as a Paradox enjoyer, I'm used to having fun with games with vocal critics
