Civilization VI

By tradition, no Civilization game is complete until the second expansion. We've been playing a preview of Civilization VI: Gathering Storm courtesy of the kind folk at 2K Games UK. That all important second expansion. Does it deliver?

Civilization VI: Gathering Storm should be the expansion that truly defines the most recent and advanced of the Civilization series. Do the added levels of complexity and the greater number of decisions to be made make all the difference?

Pablo Escobar of the ancient gold trade, the man whose exploits should've changed his name to the Goldfather, is making a return in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm as the leader of Mali, having skipped appearing in the earlier instalment.

Hungary becomes the first officially announced new Civ for the Civilization VI: Gathering Storm expansion. Primarily focused on production and military power, it's led by Matthias Corvinus and will be strong for the new Diplomacy victory

It seems Firaxis' engineers could use a few language lessons, because it just so turns out that a simple spelling error in one of Civilization VI's data files was behind the AI's strange behaviour, and Firaxis agrees.

Fireaxis are moving quickly on improvements to the Civilization VI Rise and Fall expansion. The options to place Polders as the Netherlands will increase, city states will be harder for the AI to take - and much, much more.
