I got a preview copy of Rise&Fall from 2K Games Netherlands to check out the upcoming expansion for Civilization VI. Got any questions? Let me know and I'll try to do a video or blog about it!…
A pre War of the Chosen Let's Play for XCOM 2. This is to celebrate the release of the first expansion for XCOM 2 on August 29th.…
Mix & match? With the introduction of Sid Meier’s Civilization VI they also introduced a new way of configuring and representing art in the game. The artists from Firaxis Games have created a whole bunch of seperate parts. Think weapons, shields, bodies, hats, armor, etc. And then provided a way to attach these different parts together at predefined attachment points. Those parts are aptly named attachments. Now I hear you think: “But they have these specialized tools to make that work!” Well yeah, but since the release of the modding tools (Patch modding tools announcement) us mere mortals get…
Introduction My old graphics card So I have used my trusty MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G[^n] for some time now. Let’s be honest, that card is still very good. It runs most games I play on the highest settings or just below that. With some recent games I started to not be able anymore to play on the highest settings. Most notably Mafia III and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. Luckily for me, I recently got this very nice opportunity to upgrade my card! The new card! The opportunity came true and my shiny new graphics card[^n]…

For the people not sure…
To save several communities of going through video’s and trying to get the entire tree as a screenshot of some YouTube video, I have made that process a bit easier. In two separate short video’s I show both the Civics and Tech tree completely. Each video is approximately 2,5 minutes. Here is the entire Civics Tree as found in the press preview build in a short video: Here is the entire Technology Tree as found in the press preview build in a short video: Enjoy! Bye bye for now.…
Press Preview, part 1 Along with (presumably) a lot of other youtubers, magazines, gaming websites, etc. I got a preview copy of Civilization VI as well. And I sincerely thank 2K Nederland for that! Some pointers to this press preview copy: It has 10 leaders out of the 20 in the final game; It has only 3 map types; Only one difficulty (Prince) is available; Three out of six map types are included for me to choose. For two main reasons I will not be doing a series of Let’s Plays. First, there will be so much content out…
I just had the chance to play Civilization VI on the show floor of GamesCom. While being a limited build I saw a few new things that I haven't seen mentioned before. But first let me mention the limits to the build: 60 turns maximum or half an hour playtime Only Chinese are payable Only Prince difficulty Only quick speed Only tiny map Another thing was they showed an advanced start button, but wasn't working on this build. New stuff The first thing I noticed was that they now started showing recommended improvements for tiles. While still rudimentary (it showed…
