Still playing Civ 6 on Xbox, but it's an expensive and horribly optimized game.
The developer, Firaxis, has some of the worst communication with the community imaginable.
They just released a final anthology complete version for sale last month. They also left the game full of careless, game-breaking bugs (many introduced by themselves over the last six months, including paid DLC content packs that never worked from Day 1 and had bugs that couldn't have been missed with basic playtesting).
The developer is completely radio silent whether the DLC packs people paid 60$ for just last year will ever get patched. All of there marketing though suggests they've already moved on to Civ 7, which likely is many years out.
I played probably over several thousand hours across all civ games, and 6 was by far the most progressive with the most game breaking errors. This was the first game I had to turn off graphics settings (leader models) because they would always display wrong. The game after rising storm will randomly crash and just disappear. I’m a big proponent of pirate first buy after on anything pc anymore.
I never played Civ 6. But i have a hard time deciding between Civ 4 & Civ 5. Even potato computers that are pretty old (2013 or later) should be able to play those games just fine. I would certainly recommend them, especially during a Steam sale where you can buy the games plus all the expansion packs/DLC for cheap.
I know you're joking and all, but any SJW calling them 'Arabic numerals' needs to hear that they actually came from India, and that Muslims culturally appropriated them.
In fact, I think it wasn't even an Arab who did the cultural appropriation, but Al-Khwarazmi (from whom we get the word 'algorithm), who was a Persian speaker from Central Asia.
Issue with 6 is that even though it has a lot of nifty features, either I'm getting smarter or the games are getting easier. And I know I'm dumb as shit.
One disappointing thing to learn is that the game has 8 difficulty levels but the AI is programmed to play the same way from the easiest to the hardest. The difficulty level only changes based on handicaps the game gives you or the AI wrt combat bonuses or science and production scaling.
For some reason as well, they programmed the AI to one ever declare war if their military strength massively dwarfs your own. Which makes some intuitive sense, except the AI is also constantly going bankrupt and disbanding their entire army and never replacement it.
So it means that the AI players will never initiate war with you passed the earlygame, making peaceful games boring and war mongering games unrealistic.
This game (one of the older ones) wouldn't run properly on my PC and I've pretended to hate it ever since (since I dearly wanted to play it). I've always wanted to be able to answer such a question, but i fear I would still need to update my computer before I could us a PC for games again.
Never played Civ V since I'm a console pleb.

Leftist: "Choosing Roman numerals over Arabic numerals is Islamophobic!"

So they're double wrong.
I maintain Civ 3 complete is the best one they've ever put out.
However, I never played 4 and I know it had a lot of love back when it was the newest one.
Don't like 5 and 6 looks like more of the same design choices that put me off

The AI in Civ 6 is dumb as shit.

You can reliably win Civ6 without even building 1 city, not even your first start-of-game one. That's how bad the AI is in that game.

I played a lot of Civ V the past few months. Love it, but at the same time constantly frustrated how it's designed to let you NOT have fun:
The second one makes sense. It's basic balance of power.
I like civ6 games against my friends but the problem is they take 20 hours.
