Gamers employ new technology boosts and watch as their cities expand across the map in Sid Meier's Civilization VI. The turn-based strategy series finds players using a mix of technological research, cultural advancement, diplomacy, and military might to grow a small settlement into a mighty empire. The biggest changes in Civ VI involve the management of cities, with buildings expanding into new districts in adjacent tiles. Districts become available at certain population milestones, and they open new terrain-based development opportunities, while also posing new strategic challenges.
Players who pursue military victories can now embed support units within other divisions, and similar units can be placed together to form powerful Corps units. A new active research system lets gamers unlock technology boosts in pursuit of science victories, while a new civics tech tree has been added to make cultural victories more attainable. Single-player action finds gamers interacting with famous historical leaders like Gilgamesh and Peter the Great, with each leader having a hidden agenda that gamers must discover, while multiplayer fans can join friends for a variety of cooperative and competitive scenarios.
This 25th Anniversary edition includes the full game as well as access to four post-launch downloadable content packs, a hardcover art book, and a set of commemorative coins with a display case.
