Regardless, Civ fans are more than excited.Īesthetically, it doesn't look too bad at all. It's actually quite shocking to see Firaxis Games churn out another sequel so soon - most fans half-expected them to put out more expansions for Beyond Earth before even thinking of a true sequel to Civilization V. Nothing managed to leak about this development. What originally seemed like an announcement saved for next year came sooner than expected. Because each unit changes the pacing of units in some areas, developers re-examined unit strengths across the board and made several changes, ensuring these new units feel like weighty upgrades and each smooths out previous combat differences.Civilization VI is set to arrive October 21. The three new units available for all civilizations are the Line Infantry, Man-At-Arms, and the much-asked-for Trebuchet. However, full details about the changes coming in the update will be available when the patch notes will be published later on.

The April update should include balance adjustments to the following civilizations: Spain, Khmer, China, Mapuche, Canada, Georgia, and others. Since the game received multiple new leaders and civilizations in the last couple of months, the fine folks at Firaxis revisited several existing civilizations to ensure balance. So, in the final April game update, which is scheduled to go live on April 22, players can expect some much-needed balance adjustments, as well as new content.įirst off, the April game update adds three brand new units available for all civilizations, two new True Start maps, and naval AI balancing that raises the stakes for travel on the high seas. Developer Firaxis has just revealed what's coming for Civilization VI players later this month.
