An overall premium presentation that is undeniably "Civ"
Splitting ages into distinct sections saves games from growing stale
Mixing and matching leaders and civs adds strategic variety
A lot more emphasis on map positioning and resources

The menus are not particularly attractive and not very clear.
The consequences of the decisions are not clearly presented.
No tutorial missions, the encyclopedia does not explain the handling of certain units or buildings.
A mix of leaders and changing civilizations can disrupt immersion.

Diplomacy and ideologies with interactions
Strong opponent AI
Free peoples show a clear improvement compared to the ancient barbarians.
Cities also grow visually.
Beautiful landscapes and metropolises
Impressive combat animations
Detailed character models that break away from the comic book style of their predecessors.
Very catchy title theme

Bad user experience
Confusing tutorials that do not explain everything.
Trade and diplomacy could have gained in depth.
The division into eras will not please everyone.

Vida ExtraThe quintessence of turn-based strategy turned into a video game: deep, brilliant, and terribly addictive.
The new system of three eras and the way of offering a more organic evolution of our small great empire are successes that are here to stay and demonstrate the authority of the saga.
It is not only impressive on an artistic level, but also masterfully intuitive for those who have skimmed through the previous deliveries.
The way the mouse and keyboard adapt to the controls and the Steam Deck plays totally in their favor.

Once you discover how to make the most of the new features, it will be very difficult for you to leave a game in progress. Consider yourself warned.
