I think 2016 might go down in history as a golden age of Strategy titles!!
We've had Deserts of Kharak, Xcom-2, Battlefield Gothic, Offword Trading Company, Ashes of a Singularity, Factorio, Stellaris and we've got Endless Space 2, Heroes VII, Halo Wars 2, MOO 2016, Total War: Warhammer, Hearts of Iron IV, and now Civ VI this year, with Dawn of War 40K III coming out ealry next too. Throw in Planet Coaster (as a sim/management strategy game) and holy cow.

I can only hope people work some magic with graphix mods.

I played a lot less of Civ V than I did IV. Not sure if it's because I morphed into someone that plays a ton of different games as opposed to pouring all my time into a few big ones, or if Civ V was much less compelling than IV. Either way, I'll definitely keep an eye on VI, but not sure I'll buy day one.

You would imagine correctly. Many seem adverse to the new art style. Personally I'm indifferent towards it. This is a Civ game, visuals are near the bottom of my list of things.

Tywin Lannister/Roose Bolton pls
Actually, yah, Charles Dance would make for a great narrator.
Except IV is still the best now.

Can't wait.
Also loving the art style, so much better than the abomination of blue and green that beyond earth was.
Also my big problem in civ v is being able to tell what resource is on what tile just by looking at it, hopefully this might make it easier to see.

WOOOOOOOOO!!
Very excitied! Civ V has been my go to 4X for so many years now. Even though I know Civ games tend to be wobbly at first and greatly improved over time, I am more than happily on board. Features sound good but I want to know so much more!
Sean Bean is also a wonderful choice for the narrator, although I will dearly miss William Morgan Sheppard from Civ V; my favourite narrator thus far.

German site gamestar got more infos.
For graphics: It's a brand new engine - no more the old tech from Civ 4 and 5. It's very mod-friendly.
All features from the two Civ 5 Addons are in the release version of Civ 6 (Religion, spy etc.). Cities are expanding in player-chosen districts - there will be 12 different districts (economy, religion, research confirmed). And a wonder needs his own field now.
There will be a Digital Deluxe Version with the 25th Anniversary Soundtrack and a season pass with four DLC-packages. Price: 79,99 Euro.

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Hype!
Now on a more grounded note - the graphics look really arcadey-Clash of Clans style and I'm not sure I like it...Also it doesn't sounds like they changed much. I'll wait for more info before I go day1 and pour another insane amount of hours from my life to one of these.

I want to be excited about this....but I think I'm a little bit over Civilization. After finally attempting to play the Paradox games that have been in my Steam library forever I think I need a little more depth than a Civilization game is willing to offer. Loved Civ 5 and if this turns out to be awesome I will probably be in again, but right now the excitement isn't there.

Fuck no, invincible columns of death was the stupidest part of Civ 4. The compromise of combining only certain types of a handful of units seems like a good middle ground though, as placement of units in 5 could be kinda cumbersome if you wanted a balanced army. Super psyched, though it reminds me I need to spend some more time with the 5 expansions before this comes out
Excellent! I might have waited for a good discount before diving in otherwise, but I feel pretty good then about getting it once the usual launch impressions and bugs come out.
Let's hope the engine isn't shit and craps out after 200 turns and that it doesn't require 2 expansions to actually be good.
Yea pretty much this.

Sounds great if that's the reality of it. Maybe they'll just release new civilizations/leaders as DLC rather than expansions to add whole new features.
Screenshots:
Seems to have been a mixup here, this looks like Civilization Revolution 3 screenshots.
Still looking forward to it.
Interesting mix between the stack of death and 1 unit per tile:
Sounds interesting, definitely looking forward to this, though as other people have expressed, Civ V was at its best when Brave New World was released and all of the annoying vanilla bugs like workers randomly stopping were ironed out, so hopefully Civ 6 will be released without such issues

Not sure why they're aiming for the cartoony look, not a fan.

Civ 6 looks good, but Civ 7 could look like this:

After XCOM 2 i've lost all faith in Firaxis making a well running game.
Civ 6 looks good, but Civ 7 could look like this:
That's what VI should look like.

listen to the mad man
What are you typing this post on? I'm going to assume your microwave? Don't worry, it'll run Civ 6.

I want this.
From my Nexus10. No need to be rude. I'm a big fan of CIV. Look for me in the workshop.

This looks, ugh... I do not like it.
