No word from anyone here playing it?

Bought it, can't wait to lose countless hours in it. Just started an MP game with a friend. Longest game we had in Civ V was a year and a half.

"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvellous victory." - Howard Zinn

Ahem....

Anyone playing this?

Day 3:

Civ has more or less got its hooks back into me with v6.0.

Has most of the familiar beats, but I'm still getting to grips with the additions/updates.

Building improvements isn't as straight-forward as it used to be. You now get to build districts in the tiles surrounding your city: Religious, Campus, Entertainment &c. And in those districts, build other things pertinent to those districts. Wonders also get built outside of your city walls.

Playing on the (downloaded) "Ludicrous" sized Earth Map mod, 'cos as ever, Firaxis didn't see fit to ship the Game with a decent Earth map.

Haven't had any real combat experience, apart from a few barbarians... And still in the "Classical Era" on my first game.

But... Looking good.
