CIV VI is free on the EPIC GAMES store!

So a game that normally costs €59.99 is for free till 5/28/2020 at 5:00 PM on the EPIC GAMES store.

You only need to download the EPIC GAMES launcher. It's very similar to Steam, but they offer a lot of great deals like this one to attract many new players onto the platform. I think this strategy works and I am a little bit sad that I didn't know about this sooner because a lot of great games were given here for free already.

This is just a standalone CIV VI without any expansions. Is it good enough? After a few hours playing the game I can say that I am enjoying it very much. It's fresh, different and has multiplayer.

But for me the best CIV game will always be CIV IV and that's because of a mod called Realism Invictus. This mod really deepen the whole game, adding realistic feel and balance to the game. For example the research tree is so big that it almost look like it is from Path of Exile.

Just check some of the content added to the CIV IV via this mod:

  • Over 130 new techs across every era. All techs have voice acting.
  • 21 new civics, 3 for each category. "Old" civics are also reworked, in many cases completely so.
  • Over 80 new conventional promotions, including new promotions exclusive to naval units
  • Over 160 new leaders for playable civs, each with his own personality
  • 7 new leader traits: Humanist, Political, Progressive, Seafarer, Administrator, Legislator, Conqueror and Agricultural, to make sure there are many unique combinations to try out.
  • Leader drawbacks to flesh out the personalities of leaders even better. Now each leader has one negative trait in addition to two positive ones, from the list of 14 drawbacks.
  • 8 new playable civs, fully fleshed out with tons of content available for them.
  • 9 broad new unit categories (like Ranged Cavalry, Submarines, etc.).
  • Over 50 new land unit classes (like Fusiliers, Hussars, Armored Cars etc.).
  • Over 20 new naval unit classes (like Sloop, Gunboat, Dreadnought etc.).
  • and many, many more!

It's a free mod so you only need to have the official version of CIV IV and the expansion Beyond the Sword. You can download the mod here and see if it's much better than any other CIV you played.
