"Civilization VI" is now available for purchase on Steam. Important details on system requirements, digital deluxe edition, and more revealed.
According to the official website of Steam, the video game is now available for purchase. The game has garnered a very positive overall user review score, just like from its prequel, "Civilization V." The historical strategic game launched on Oct. 21.
The video game requires an operating system that is at least a Windows 7 64 bit. The processor of the computer system should be at least an Intel Core i3 2.5 GHz or AMD Phenom II 2.6 GHz. It should have 4 GB RAM, a graphics card of at least Nvidia 450, and 12 GB of available space.
The game can be played by a single player, or by numerous players through the online multiplayer feature. Players can gain steam achievements in this game and several steam trading cards. It also supports the Steam Workshop for mods.
"Civilization VI" offers new methods of engaging the players' randomly created world map. Their cities will now physically expand across the map instead of only using one tile. The AI competing leaders will now also move based on their traits from history as they all race for victory.
Players will be able to unlock boosts that will make it easier for their civilization's progress during the game. They are advised to make their units do more things like exploring other areas and fight enemies like barbarians. They should also develop their own environment and make their cultures flourish.
Diplomacy will change over time, which is why players must be careful who they are dealing with. It can start from a friendly chat and offering gold to impress the other nation, but it can change suddenly into war with or without explanation.
Another new feature to the game is the combined arms mode. Players can now embed support units with other units, to protect a main unit or support their attacks. Similar units can also be merged to make a powerful corps unit.
According to the official website of the video game, there are different versions of the game with physical and digital copies. Interested buyers can purchase the standard edition for $59.99 in physical and digital form, which only has the full game.
The digital deluxe edition can only be purchased digitally for $79.99, and it will have a few bonuses. Aside from the full game, it will have the 25th anniversary digital soundtrack of the game. It will also have four post-launch DLC packs, which will add new things like maps, leaders, scenarios, and civilizations.
The third edition is the 25th anniversary edition of "Civilization VI," which costs $89.99. Aside from the full game, it will have all the bonus digital content found in the Digital Deluxe Edition. It will also have a beautiful hardcover art book and the exclusive 25th anniversary commemorative coin set with a display case.
