Bought Civ 6 yesterday!
Initial thoughts:
Love the way it looks. I'm getting some serious Civ Revolution vibes from the character models (and that's a fantastic game) and the way that the fog of war on the map is realised is beautiful.
There's a good opening selection of Civs, the number of which is sure to triple in coming months via the magic of DLC.
The city districts mechanic seems a nicely balanced way to min/max various specialisations.
Having three-use Builders instead of workers makes me connect with that part of the game a lot more - Previously I'd just build a few worker units and have them automate throughout the game.
Far too many huge tooltips popping up. There's got to be a way to minimise them, or at least delay their activation, because I'm finding that even sweeping my cursor across the screen activates a bunch of the buggers.
Scrolling by moving the map to the screen edges is janky as all get out. I wondered why it was initially turned off by default ... now I know.
All in all, I'm really impressed. Now to wipe my trial run and start again, as I'm sure I'll be doing a few hundred times over the next few years.
