I think that’s how pacifism works, but my knowledge of history comes from episodes of Clone High. This hefty slice of human history will chuck in eight new civilizations to master, nine new leaders and plenty of tweaks to in-game systems so that you can make it easier for Mahatma Ghandi to lead a hunger missile strike. Which is also the name of a great Offspring album by the way. Several months later, 2K Games is looking to draw fans back to the latest Civilization with its first expansion: Rise and Fall. The metagame of Districts were apparently a hoot, but there was a definite consensus that areas such as Diplomacy, a dodgy AI and a painful user interface needed some work done on them. With almost a decade under their belt in Civilization V, fans were hungry for something new, which Civ VI did have plenty of.

And nowhere is that more apparent, than in the actual simulator for human history that is the titular Civilization series and oh crap why is it spelt with a Z I hate everything. Centuries from now, when humanity has withered and the cats have exploited our love for all things fluffy and memetastic, a scant few reminders will exist in our ruined landscapes that detail our glorious civilisation.
