I just referred them to 5 because it was almost as good

Why do you consider Civ 6 better than 5?

Edit for anyone else wanting to answer: Please specify whether you're including Brave New World (or Gods and Kings) in your comparison, since those expansions significantly improved upon the original Civ 5 release.

I'm not the person that you asked, but I do hold the same opinion. My biggest reasons are:

Civs are far more incentivised to expand in VI, resulting in more conflict
Districts make city placement a much more complicated question
The city state influence game is much more interesting than just a spending race and also has more game-changing rewards
The culture and science victories are much more interactive with other civs now, rather than just hiding away and waiting for a bar to fill

I don't think V is bad by any means. It was the one that got me into the series after bouncing off III and IV. I just think that most of the changes in VI were improvements

Are you including Brave New World in that comparison? I've never played Civ 5 without it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, and Gods & Kings. I did technically play the game without them but it was long enough ago now that I don't really remember it without them

Thanks for the perspective. :)

On a technical level, it functioned better. On an artistic level, I liked the look a lot better. On a gameplay level, they were pretty similar, but I liked what they did with city tiles in 6.
