I think that after the latest patch, Civ 6 is very close to where Civ 5 was at the end. I have no desire to go back and play 5 at all.

I think it's a no-brainer that 6 will surpass 5 with the next major release.

cultural=your tourism is higher than anyone elses domestic tourism
score=this is based on going a full 500 or whatever turns you set, and, its a combination of all things like science and religion and wonders you've built
science= be the first to man a mars mission to space

you can also change a game so there's only certain victory types available
This change bugs me, I much preferred domination by controlling the majority of land and population. I finally rage quit Civ V when I took over every city in the world but couldn't get a domination victory because London was located on the end of a peninsula on an inland sea and I could only send one unit to attack at a time.

Also, it is not very realistic. As Napoleon can attest to controlling a capital does not mean you have taken over the country.

Anyways, after hearing more of the improvements and good reviews I think this will be the first game I pick up when I eventually upgrade my laptop.

Sounds like you needed some air support and battleships.

I digress, though.

I think it's much easier to sack all capitals vs control most cities. Maybe. I guess you could raze a bunch of cities to the ground but imagine a huge map with a hundred cities? Having to conquer dozens of cities? Sounds awful.

I had not reached the modern era yet and had no patience to wait it out. Also I could not send in any naval units as the capital was on an inland sea and its culture prevented me from building a city on the same sea. The map designs in Civ V were just atrocious.

Agreed it would normally be easier to get a domination by sacking all the capitals however you could actually do this in IV. One of my domination strategies was to directly attack a capital which would normally force the other Civ to be your vassal. No need to take over every city in the world.

Did you ever play Civ 2. That's exactly what it was. Nuclear war was an effective method to do it quickly. I think the condition their was conquer all cities. So the hard part was finding the last few on the map. Took forever.

I grew up with Civ II, and for the last fifteen years have played Civ III only. I tried IV when it came out, but it was overly complex for me. I'm not a big gamer, and III was the perfect balance of complexity and accessibility.

That said, I still miss the wonder videos from Civ 2. So good.

Finally have gotten around to playing this and as expected I'm loving it. I'll eventually get around to screwing with mods and whatnot but I'm still trying to get a handle on the changes between this one and Civ IV.
