If you let it fall too low, you risk the consequences of low yields, revolts, and the potential to lose your city if it declares its own independence. Cities now have individual Loyalty to your leadership. They say the grass is always greener on the other side, and Rise and Fall tests your tenacity to keep your lawn the greenest of all. Besides that though, it’s a menu feature that often goes unnoticed. The Timeline feature is a nice visual side-scroll with illustrations of every achievement, or civilization you’ve met. Again, for the purposes of micromanagement and understanding what things earn you as much Era Points as possible, the Timeline feature adds no particular layer of strategy. It offers a larger scope into the progress of your civilization and offers clear direction on what certain Historic Moments offer the most Era Points. You can review your civilization’s history at any time with the new Timeline feature, a visual journey through the Historic Moments that you encountered on your path to victory. If you enjoy micromanagement, this might be up your alley. I could see some expert players even deliberately staying in a Dark Age just to reap these bad boys – in the end, I find the Age system can be ignored, and ultimately, doesn’t add any layer of complex strategy. In fact, the Dark Age rewards offer some significant buffs to your bonuses, leaving me to wonder what the whole point of having this Age system is for. Each Age provides rewards in the form of Dedications or policy cards, even if you get stuck in a Dark Age. Dark, Normal, and Golden Ages will be your typical means of Era achievements, with a Heroic Age reserved for when you rise triumphantly from a Dark Age to a Golden Age. You know that from the moment you settle your first city, there are a bunch of minute chores to complete if you want to jump into a Golden Age.Įach time the world progresses from one Era to the next, every civilization’s points are calculated to determine if you enter a Dark Age, Normal Age, Golden Age or Heroic Age. My biggest gripe with this system is that your general Rise and Fall experience becomes predictable. It’s an unusual and often random way of earning points, but as a rule of thumb, you generally want to achieve “notable things” to increase your accumulation of points. For example, clearing a barbarian outpost, circumnavigating the globe, constructing Wonders, or capturing cities all earn you a certain number of Era Points. Historic Moments award Era Points which contribute to your overall Era Score. Your Era Score is tracked according to certain actions and achievements throughout your game. Unfortunately, it lacks any meaningful addition to the genre of strategy, and instead, is painted with more inconsistencies thanks to a terrible AI and ideas that don’t seem to be as polished as they sound on the whiteboard.Īs your civilization ebbs and flows and you reach milestone Historic Moments, you will move towards Dark Ages or Golden Ages, each providing specific challenges or bonuses based on your actions in the game. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Rise and Fall is no exception, and is the first expansion, offering new leaders, civilizations, systems and many more. New content, maps, skins – we love a good revamp and additional goodies to discover. Expansions are always an exciting time for videogames.
