Secret Societies can make great Civs even more powerful, like Joao III or Kublai Khan with the Owls of Minerva, or Eleanor of Aquitaine with the Void Singers. While each one changed the game to different degrees, they added a lot of variety to each game of Civ as they meshed together in interesting ways.Ĭombining the Civ 6 Heroes and Legends mode with the Monopolies and Corporations mode made Anansi and Maui a lot more valuable. Each of the six DLC packs came with a new game mode that could be selected at the creation of a lobby, and these could be mixed-and-matched to create some interesting games. More DLCs means more variety and more interesting match-ups, and that's never a bad thing.Ī welcome surprise with the New Frontier Pass was all of the new optional game modes that shake up how each game plays out. While Menelik can generate a lot of Faith, he can very easily branch off to Culture or Science as well. For example, the game could use another leader or two that have a heavier Diplomatic focus, and perhaps another heavy Religious leader for a Religious Victory. There are plenty of different angles to approach the new leaders with for each different win condition.


The developer of Civilization 6 really hit it out of the park with the Civs introduced in the first New Frontier Pas, and if another New Frontier Pass-inspired pack were to be released, fans hope that the new leaders introduced with that would continue to meet and even exceed expectations. The fan-base for Civilization 6 will always have recommendations for new Leaders and new Civilizations to add to the game, so the list can go on-and-on so long as the developer wants to dedicate time and resources into making the expansions. No other leader can utilize tile features quite like Ba Trieu of Vietnam, and Joao III's trade routes are second to none. No other leader plays remotely close to how Hammurabi of Babylon does, and having him in a game makes for an entirely unique experience to both play as and to fight against. For example, there were few leaders who could specialize in both Religion and Domination until Basil II came along. The great thing about all of these leaders is that each pack sought to bring a different approach to the game that was missing at the time. Another reason is that Civ 6 is only managing less than half the sales of Civ 5 during the same time period.Ĭiv 6 wasn't supposed to be a mainline game in the first place.The New Frontier Pass added several new leaders and Civilizations to Civilization 6, and gave fans something new to look forward to every couple of months. There will be a few more new civs/senarios and a few minor updates, but there won't be a third expansion for Civ 6. Civ 6 was supposed to be another spinoff like Beyond Earth, but the developers decided abandon the concept and rename the game Civ 6 to improve sales because Beyond Earth sold much less than they expected, and it also gave them plenty of time to work on Civ 7. Add to that at least 3 years of development and you get a optimistic prediction for 2022 but it's more likely 2023-2024.Ĭivilization 7 has been in production before Civ 6 even released.


Meanwhile, at best Civ VII might be in pre production if they aren't working on another expansion. They will work on Civ VI for at least another year, there's a slight change that they are working on a third expansion, if that is the case you can add another year.
