Civilization 6 Vs Civilization 5 - Comparison 

It didnt feel like an army even with a mod that made the units more numerous and smaller

exactlyy!! totally agree

in civ 6 you can access it with mod

Yeah I agree. I played Civilization Revolution 2 and most of my units only have 1 to 3 people in it.

While I can agree that I liked CIV 5’s realistic art style, the colors in Civ6 just really make it better for me, so in 5 years when civ 7 comes out I hope they combine the petty colorful civ 6 with more of a civ 5 art style

@Fgg Fgg well at least look at the bright side, these cartoony graphics make it easier for the game to run on many computers, for example, my computer couldn't even load the civ 5 intro.

personally civ 5 just looks too dull which can make things look bland

Well as much as I kinda like cartoonish style in general... for game like Civilization the graphic from Civ5 is much more appealing to me too...

@Fgg Fgg try downloading the civ 5 environment skin mod from the civ 6 steam workshop. It changes civ 6 graphics to resemble civ 5.

And the age off players off Civ compared to Clash off Clans?

Peter Magro I dont understand your question

GFSuperTrooper When you make a game for kids you make it look that way, when makinga game for old geezers you should not (10 year olds can never understand Civ anyway).

Peter Magro Im stating that the art style is similar to another game . A games art styling has nothing to do with its depth one could look at games like fallout and skyrim and see they are gritty in a way or tf2 which is cartoonish but then harken back to Civ Rev where the same art design is used as in this game. Im not questioning or defying depth by styling or graphics Im simply stating an observation.

GFSuperTrooper I am sure Civ 6 is a very deep and good game.

Dude shut the fuck UP civ 6 has a much BETTER feeling for example, in civ 5 once u create a builder you got that builder forever and u just got em raoming around him doing nothing and shit to summarzie extremely annoying, in civ 6 they fixed that shit. Another point the animations for example so MUCH BETTER dude that shit awesome. Also civilization 6 the new art style u just gotta deal with it. cartoon is IN these days so you better you get used t that hell even battle field 1 looks a little cartoonish.

i said nothing about play, i just meant graphics

Egrith lol i was drunk that night. Although in my opinion some people like cartoon style some don't that's just an opinion

"u just got em raoming around him doing nothing" if this is really your problem then you're fucking stupid... because you can DELETE HIM, get some money for that and subtract the per turn maintenance cost of the unit by doing that... this pretty much means any opinion you post here i have to ASSUME is wrong

so why don't armies do the same, just disappear after some uses? plus even so they will still last a few thousand or hundred years depending on era before being used too much.

true

Napoleon Bonaparte the combat in general is looks better in my opinion

I like the districts as an idea. As a feature, they're not implemented very well though.

City state's are actually pretty useful, they give you delegates and units.

LuC1dCS //FUNNY VIDEOS AND MORE well... without city states it is actually imposible to diplomacy win in Civilization V

Сiv II Beautiful and Interesting

102Funtik Civ II XD

agree

Civ II *was* and still is pretty awesome, tho. lol

Civ IV is even more better.

christopher fisher civ vi combat is way better than v

opinions moron you know like uhhhhh yeah OPINIONS

@@mat8791 Honestly these arguments about which civilization game is the best just goes to show how great all of them are.

"realistic"...

yes yes yes

Consider it a tactical 360° turn to check for enemies from other directions

Comment of the year

“I successfully attacked a unit. I’ll do a victory dance.”

Se xy pfp, sl ut

This is the thing I hated about civ Vi....and also. I liked the artworks in Policy adoption interface of Civ V. Now in Civ VI all these civics are some small letters on some wired red,green or yellow cards

i almost used the same word ---Disney cartoon

KIT2142 yes you're right

Ya know it looks good,atleast for me,its relaxing,so you can use your calm and patience to conquer the world or get more farms,or maybe tech.

if you actually pay attention it has WAY more attention to detail and depth, the shadows and lightning is insane and at maxed out the textures and detail are superb, the civ's look 10/10 and animations are also great, voice acting is even better with sean bean and the time cycle just tops that already great visual style with the biggest cherry possible. Everyone has right to their opinion but saying that civ5 has "better" graphics is just a plain lie, thereäs nothing disney at all about this and making a only slightly better civ5 with the same artstyle would just be boring, grow up people...

+Kos Pw Triggered fanboi?

you can use mods to use civ 5 graphics

Why do people think cartoon=bad , the word you're looking for is it looks animated it has some life to it

@@kringle7804 It breaks immersion. It feels like you're not playing a serious game.

check out my game Hip Hop Block on App Store Pls dealing with the AI leaders in civ 6 is ridiculous. I've played many games and only once have I managed to make a declaration of friendship with another civ and then ally myself with them. If you spawn near France on a higher difficulty, she'll tell you that you should really start paying attention to the things going on around you then denounce you a turn later for being weak in espionage. Same goes for Rome, the AI start with 2 cities on higher difficulties so he'll ask if you are afraid of expansion then denounce you literally one turn later for not having any land. In civ 5 the only reason the AI would denounce you and act hostile toward you was if you were a real asshole. In civ 6, AI will ask you to help them attack another civ and as soon as the war is over, denounce you for being a warmonger because you accepted it. Half the time you get a formal war declared on you in the first 20 turns even if you haven't been denounced and then you kill off the two units the AI send and then they beg you to have mercy and give you a bunch of stuff for peace. Don't even get me started on how the leaders look, civ 5 was realistic with the leaders and they look like they had quite a bit of work put into them, civ 6 looks like someone drew the leaders with their eyes closed and then coloured it with crayons. The terrain doesn't even look realistic either, it's bright and colourful but civ 5 had the more real look to it and that's a big part of the reason people liked it. Civ 6 has been a major disappointment so far and I'm glad I didn't buy it but was able to play it anyway and see how it really is.

check out my game Hip Hop Block on App Store Pls Yeah, I only just convinced myself to get Civ VI on the Steam Summer sale today hoping the gameplay improvements could make up for the crap cartoony art style/graphics. The look of the terrain is a lot worse in VI (in my opinion), but the thing that really drives me crazy are the leaders. Gandhi looks like a deformed turtle man. And then to add insult to injury the AI is just as bad if not worse than in V. What were the devs thinking??

Well then just play Civ V. If you think that they are bad just don't play.

Ik I really thought they would keep it and the leaders, everything is a cartoon.

Civ V is a remake of civ III with pseudo-realistic design and civ VI is a remake of civ IV with cartoonish design. Originality is not a priority for firaxis it seems

I agree with you.

I would never play Civ 5 if I never found the IGE It’s so fun to secretly sabotage other players and frame them for random things while giving yourself infinite gold

A lot of people like cartoons. A shame you seemed to have missed out as a kid. XD

no, for such a complex and strategic game the art work is bad. Look at the tank, never seen something so cramped... As a kid I quit cartoons at around 7 or 8, and now I'm already developing intermediately made programs. Would you really expect any kid today to watch cartoons, nope, Netflix and RU-vid.

Filthy baguette!

Commander Shepard Je surrender !

ZeUltimateFrenchy lol

Commander Shepard hon hon hon

Joe Soap szi think that happened all the time in civ 5 when it first launched. In deity the Ai would run out of buildings to build really quickly and would then spam units and never upgrade them. They would only build new units once you killed most of their old ones.

Joe Soap for me city states are the worst i would progress to future tech by the time city states had spearmen the actually civs for me put up a good effort to keep up but are still usually have weaker troops then me

***** Never really see the city states for long in CIV6. The AI civs attack them almost from the start. Then they complain that you are building too close to the city the have just occupied and attack you as well.. In CIV5 city states were there to trade and ally with. In CIV6 they are simply a way for the AI civs to expand their empires. Especially since every leader appears to be relentlessly aggressive. Then throw in the ever spawning barbarians and the whole game is nothing but endless warring. It's not a game it's a chore.

To me that sounds like a lot of fun to just destroy all the outdated enemies and show your superiority!

Civ 4 is better than all

because it is a cheap ios game

Just get Vox Populi for Civ V.

What is the best Civ5 mod? my personal favorite is Ingame Editor.

No shit. They released the entire game on iPad so your observation is fucking on point

King_Oskar civ 5 had better animations, there were more soldiers in a single unit which made it realistic to see a bunch of them die when getting attacked by another unit. In civ 6 you see 4 people, early on you could have 4 archers attack a unit with 1 soldier left, fire 30 arrows into it and it survives which doesn't make sense.

@@ironseguin9838, actually, I slightly disagree. Albeit I do not really like the little troops that it has on the sixth game, there are still some points to it. Because it has little as 4 troops means that it is weak and non-sensible, the units are seen as representations of bigger armies. Think of it like a chess piece. Say a pawn represents 500,000 men. Also, consider the bonuses that they have. Remember if they are located in rough terrain or smooth terrain, depending on their rank up, they have the upper hand over other troops like bowmen of 3 or 4. It all comes to the bonuses. Also, consider the bonuses like ranking up as a veteran in an army. That means they are stronger and more experienced than newly produced units.

Almost like the video is about graphics comparison. Go to a mechanics comparison and the comments there will be about V having better mechanics.

You are just oversimplifying the arguments but yeah the game looks bad because they wanted to make it cross platform in order to make more money but the thing is you cant win a game in one sit or two sits in mobile anyway they were greedy with dlc s they fucked up the tile improvement system they fucked the movement system they fucked the military advancement progression added shitty mini-games for cultural victory didnt fixed any fucking issue with the civv like AI or combat maybe they just tried to make the game more accessible and completely ignored their already established fanbase for it and failed miserably. Is this enough reason to hate?

@@krkrbbr If you hate it that much go play civ 5 then.

@@mi2420 Why should you be forced to play a game you have put hundreds of hours in because they developer decided to take a shit on you? More like go delete civ 5 and boycott 7.

you know, i was like i've seen this kind of graphics before, so yeah it really looks alike

that could not be less accurate

more like clash of civs

ThatRandomDude Indeed! haha

My thoughts exactly

Arnold Horvath When you have no money

When you only get games because of their graphics.

Sooner or later they must make a DLC or "toned down" look for Civ 6. Then I'll buy it.. After all it is not a kids game- it just looks like it now...

CIV VI graphic is far better then Pseudo 3D graphic on CIV V, maybe what you mean is art style. Civ VI has cartoon arts style but the graphic is fylly rendered 3D graphic. Unlike CIV V which has 3d/2d texture

Who the fuck would play Civ because of the graphics?

Alexander Cummins This is exactly how i started off with civ on xbox, then civ 5 on PC, but i never baught civ 6 because no matter how great those animatilns are, the graphics are just plain horrible.

I still play Revolution all time! Classic!! The AI never gives you the same game..

From Civ 3 to Civ 4 I felt like the graphics went backwards xD

Civ5 might be more realistic when you compare graphics 6. But it's nowhere near realistic when you can build a single space rocket that wins you the game.

With more realistic I was talking about the general feel of the game. Not about the science victory... But I get your point

graphics doesnt count in a game like this. Both are insanely good games in my opininon

That's just your opinion. Graphics count in every game imo

HeeftGedaan HD well then Civ 6 is horrible.

jack breh Graphics? You mean art style?

yes art style

Well, art style is based on personal preference so I can't say much about that.

agreed!

Wait, you can Pirate Bay civ 6??

arthegor the casus beli thing doesn't even work properly. Play on a high difficulty and within 20 turns two civs will attack you together calling it a "formal war" even though neither have denounced you. If a formal war can be declared by two people initiating a joint strike against you then that's my mistake but I'm pretty sure the only option for a formal war is if the person has denounced you or you them.

Falcon AI mod, no more BS denouncing, friendly civs stay friendly

EU4 has better Casus bellis.

You're not alone. I find Civ 5's leader scenes to be bland and rigid myself.

No man, i like that they didn't make it more photorealistic. I see realism everyday.

same, I like civ 6 better than civ 5 artstyle

I have absolutely no problem with it. As far as the game itself, I still prefer Civ5, but probably cuz I'm used to it and only started playing civ6.

I like it too, but it definitely looks like we're in the minority :P

I've always thought the graphics were slightly worse in 5 becaUSE OF LOWER RES TEXTURES

whoops lol caps lock

@@SkyenNovaA You knoe, there's a thing called edit button.

When playing gathering storm at civ6's max potential you really get to appreciate the art style. CIV V is more rigid, and realistic looking. Realism is something we see every day though. I prefer Civ 6 because of the feel and depht of interaction, but civ 5 because of how much its grown off me. Playing civ 6 after a while the artstyle grows on you. Not all games are the same. Civ needed w change in color pallete anyways.

uh... your thinking of Civ: Beyond Earth which came out in 2014 only 2 years ago. Civ V came out in 2010 practically 10 years ago like Yalp said.

¨6 years* sorry :/

civ 5 look better imo

10 years ago bud... cuz I like to stretch time out. And in 3 years time, Yalp and I will have the fortune of being correct for 365 days.

@@vysearcadia522 ​ you have 346 days before your statement is outdated

the whole game's graphic looks too much cartoony, i think. Unfortunately, the realism of animation has deteriorate. That's sad...

Yeah right my impossible dream too

Overall graphics are better, wtf. And the map spitted all over with sepia is shit IMHO. Btw theres lots of really bad animations that look cartoonish as heck in VI. Workers for example. And theres no balance in a VI at the moment. Though it costs like a V with all the DLC or even more. Now you have to wait several years for a finished game. Or just play V, its way better.

why?

Well, about the fog of war you're right, I can't stand it, it doesn't look at all like a place you have explored

in terms of graphics, very much yes. In terms of gameplay, civ 6 very much improved.

Improved=simplified? The districts are a mess and the tech tree is much smaller.

Kür Şad r u sure a 12 years kid can play civ?

Amonny the districts add an spect of city planning that was not there in previous civ games. You can't just randomly click what you're city is building anymore.

Districts aren't a mess. Actually plan where they go and what you do with them, then reap the rewards.

prague owned by japan

Yeah, it nuked the shit out of my FPS :(

Huh? It looked more than fine to me.

actually civ 5 nuke bomb is more realistic. nukes can do a lot of damage, but they can't completely destroy an extremly big city, like ny or london

Matheus Torres actually they can

Depends on the nuke, like lets say the W-76. Hell no it wont blow up all of London but god damn will it hurt. now lets take the Tsar bomb the worlds largest detonated nuke and well, you might wana fix UK on the map because 1/15th or so of it will be missing. NO not all nukes are the same. but the common nuke in all arsenals would not take out all of London.

That exists, im not sure if you know that already by now.

Mike, get your ass back in Planetside! ;P

@@LCInfantry speak for yourself LOL, where u been

Viperbreath 05 civ 5 looks ascetically more immersive and grounded that civ 6. civ 6 the rocket artillery projectile paths dont make sense, the a bomb explodes with the plane well into its radius and the units do a lot more scenematic crap like how the helicopter needs to go around in a full circle before moveing forewards. I really hate how civ 6 only has detail in the ooooo and aahhh momenents which makes me think it will die out quickly.

John Appleseed why people are hating civ 6 only by graphics? Its a good game (only ai sucks) what matters is the gameplay

The game itself is actually pretty good, a lot of people just hop on the bandwagon saying they hate civ VI.

@@ignasjazbutis3643 I love civilization 6 but I love civilization 5 more. Civilization 5 is a better game but that doesnt mean Civilization 6 is bad

YOU are the joke

Rammus not me. Civ6

Nope,Civ6 is a game not a joke

Jokes are very diferent,they don't have visuals or gameplay

@@joj1560 ok karen

Ah yes, those flashes of light and explosions when two groups of warriors hit each other with maces as big as humans...

That is like 1% of the game...

Swordsman stabbing and lifting other swordsman with one arm while doing a flip is not very realistic

Alex Khan quick combat good sir

actualy it is worth lul

@@heroninja1125 why?

because of the art style? seriously?

BECAUSE YOU ONLY PLAYED 6 HOURS DUMBFUCK

iSniped The cartoony terrain and stupid looking leaders won't though. And the AI probably won't improve much at all either. Those are the two biggest issues in my opinion...

The only reasonable comment around here.

iSniped well we are still waiting

still waiting .......

Gathering Strom's looking to be pretty hype

whoops...

u dont like T-90?

Dario Vlaar I'm pretty sure Civ 6 has a reactive armor abrams as MBT, but I didn't reach MBTs myself, just saw on videos. I like the T-90 a lot.

actually it is an upgraded t80

Broflovski who cares

even without expansions moving from a realistic style to cartoony was just a bad move.

I have 260+ hours in Civ VI and V is objectively better. The graphics are cartoonish and overall worse than V, along with the animations. The constant need to make new builders is a pain, AND the addition of loyalty and era points adds unnecessary difficulty

james Clarke finally someone who understand games, looks like the majority of the hate Civ 6 is only by graphics :/

I only played C6, but I'm not sure I want to start learning C5. I want to ask you as someone who knows both games well: I suffered a lot from slow moving units in C6, and suffered more from having to deal with the tedious internal affairs of the country, than to devote myself to enjoying foreign policy, Since you play the two games a lot, you must be well aware of what I suffer from. The question is, does the C5 game have the same problems that I mentioned? Thank you

superspeedish I think the graphics are fine. The main thing I miss is the large groups of soldiers that made up a unit. In Civ 6 there are only about 3 little soldiers per melee battalion, whereas is Civ 5 there were usually 10 or 12 which was cool.

Yeah i think the art style is great and with some tweaks could be something that will still look modern in years to come. I think the main issue is that people see it as a simplification rather than just a change to lengthen its lifespan and feel like they are being treated like kids.

I think they had more people per unit in Civ V, because there was only one unit per tile, whereas in Civ VI you can build up corps and armies. ;)

a unica coisa que e melhor sao os nukes

Pra mim os dois são mt legais

Vamos esperar, o V saiu em 2010 já o VI saiu agora no final de 2016, devamos lembrar que muita coisa do V veio com o tempo...

tb prefiro civ V
