Civ VI: Rise and Fall rolls out on Mac, Linux

Civilization VI's expansion Rise and Fall seems to have rolled out a bit early for the underpaying and overpaying components of the IT sector, Linux and Mac, seeing as how it has no March patch applied, which means no PC cross-play.

Review: Civilization VI Rise & Fall - some much needed improvement

We've got 700 hours on vanilla Civilization VI, despite its flaws, so we were keen to try a couple of complete single player games of Rise & Fall immediately after launch. The verdict?

Zulu put the "waaah" in warlike for Civ VI

For the last of the "new" civs joining the Civilization VI Rise & Fall expansion, we have our traditional favourite aggressors the Zulus, led once again by that bloodthirsty old warrior Shaka.

Robert the Bruce leads Scotland

Civilization VI continues its roll out of new civs and leaders with Scotland joining the pack, lead by Robert the Bruce. It's a strongly science-based civ that also enjoys production and culture bonuses. Perhaps most intriguing is the War of Liberation option in Casus Belli that it has. Freedom!

Genghis Khan - stirruping things up in Civ VI

Genghis Khan is back in the saddle as the latest of the civs announced for the Civilization VI: Rise & Fall expansion. Does the game need another horse-hungry civilization? At least there's an interesting twist on the diplomatic visibility mechanic that accurately demonstrates the fear that the Mongols instilled in their foes.
