Civilization VI

After playing Civ 7 for a bit, it made me further appreciate Civ 5 with the Vox Populi mod as the best in the series by far.
A shame how Civ 7 is a regression in many aspects from Civ 5, a game released 15 years ago....

if you want proof of how peak this game is just consider the fact that for 2k's 20th anniversary they massively discounted every single one of their games.... except for civ 5.
they are terrified of people finding how good this game is and not being able to harvest anyones data or sell them 210381923 trillion dlcs.
(btw u can get the complete edition of the game for like 5 usd on key resellers)

If Civilization 5 isn't launching after the recent update where they removed the 2k launcher do the following.
1. Go to your steam library
2. Right click on the game
3. Click on properties
4. Click on installed files
5. At the top right of the window you will see the location of installed files, click on the browse
6. In the directory right click on either executable you wish to run. CivilizationV.exe or CivilizationV_DX11.exe
7. Click on properties
8. Click on compatibility
9. Enable compatibility mode with windows 8 or 7 mode
10. Click apply
11. Run the game through the selected executable in the folder not the play button through steam.
12. Enjoy
It has been reported that this additional function might help with making the game run with some individuals.
In the compatibility screen with step 8, enable run as administrator. This should also help with getting the game to run.

Recently booted up 5, only to be shocked to discover how much better it is than 6.
Best way I can describe it is 5 is an organic Civilization building experience and thus more immersive while 6 is just a bunch of gimmick mechanics like districts and DLCs that don't really add anything of value, feels like playing a card deck building game more than a 4x game. Not to mention the art is actually good instead of looking like a mobile game.
Just get this game if you want a true Civilization experience, the new ones are under terrible management by very confused people.

Civilizations is the best computer game of all time and version V is the best version in my opinion.

The best, last version of the game made for playing enjoyment. Creators entirely changed the look, feel, and worst of all the flow and game play in later versions. It's NOT the same game. So many cool things could've been added but instead they build a totally different game. Now, I'm getting running issues as this version is now older and more buggy.. It's a total darn shame. Please go back to the Civ 5/older game format!!! Please.

Civ 5 to me still is far better then CIv 6... I have played over 3200 hours of Civ 5 versus around 400 hours of Civ 6, and I find the AI in Civ 6 incredibly irritating as it goes out of its way to setup its own cites as close to you as possible. I have had many games where the AI is on a completely different continent having a lot of room to expand on their own lands, but invariably decides to cross the seas to setup shop on your continent. As well as the endless missionaries invading your land like they have nothing better to do then keep building missionary units to convert your people...
