I mean I can mostly play Civ 5 maxed out on my Surface Pro 4, so I'd imagine it's not that much more demanding.

I had XCOM 2 going reasonably well on my laptop, I can definitely pull this off. I'm surprised they went up though.

Civ 6 looks like a mobile game, I'm surprised there was any worry at all.

[QUOTE=tomatmann;51094808]my pc can run civ 3 on low! hopefully i can run civ 6 too[/QUOTE] I think you have other problems besides worrying if your PC can run Civ 6 at that point to be honest. I think you're in desperate need of an upgrade. When the minimum requires a Pentium, definitely time for an upgrade.

[QUOTE=tomatmann;51094808]my pc can run civ 3 on low! hopefully i can run civ 6 too[/QUOTE] Someone in the Steam discussion forum was insisting that there's absolutely no reason for this game to need more graphics processing power than the first StarCraft game, "except for the increased pixel resolution". :v:

Even though the art style looks simpler, Everything looks way more defined than before. The trees look like they're actually modelled rather than a 2.5d clump, not to mention how busy the districts look like they can get.

[QUOTE=ADSmaster724;51094769]Civ 6 looks like a mobile game, I'm surprised there was any worry at all.[/QUOTE] The exaggerated leaders and units, the colorful palette, all of these have been in Civ games past, all of which predate the mobile games boom. Civ doesn't look like a mobile game, mobile games look like Civ.

Now I think it looks great. I still think the units look a bit silly but that's fine.
