Every week, game developer Epic offers one or more games for free download in the in-house games store. Then it means for the gamers: strike quickly, because after seven days the offer disappears. The good thing: once downloaded, the game belongs to you and you can continue playing after the download period.
Civilization 6 continues the series with dignity
In Civilization 6, many of the game mechanics have been changed to eradicate the predecessor’s mistakes and make the gaming experience more realistic. The AI opponents are no longer simple to turn against the player in the slightest displeasure. Instead, the AI now has an agenda that depends on how the game builds its own civilization. Some opponents like technology-savvy civilizations more, others culture and religion.
Urbanization has also been significantly revised in Civilization 6. Instead of building all new buildings directly in a city, there are now districts that are built outside of the city and can be further improved. Both wonders and districts can only be built on certain terrains, so planning ahead is now particularly important.
Units in the sixth part of the series can be combined to form stronger combat groups, a mechanism that was already found in the smartphone adaptation Civilization Revolution 2. Roads are now automatically created through trade routes, workers are no longer required. Therefore, the number of actions that workers can take has been limited to three.
