There is a small note on the bottom of the main menu telling you about the upcoming Rise and Fall expansion, so it would seem that they’re planning on bringing it to the app. The iPad version has everything its big brother has, with the only thing missing being DLC. I haven’t seen it for myself to give more details, but you’ll want to download and try it out before hitting the buy button if you have one of those. I’ve also been told by Nick who has one of the 12.9″ iPad Pros that the game isn’t scaled right for that device. I was playing on a large world, but also didn’t make it all the way to the end game which is when turns get long even on the laptop. The time between turns can get a bit long, but never got to the point of being unbearable.
Everything was smooth as silk, including moving units with your fingertips and scrolling around the randomly generated world. The graphics aren’t turned up all the way, but I couldn’t really tell a difference between the iPad version and how it currently looks while playing it on my MacBook Pro. For research purposes I went to a friend’s house to mess around with the game on their iPad Pro and it was a delight. If you do have one of the newer iPad models, however, Civ Vi on it is fairly incredible. I have none of the above, so I’ll be waiting to play this until I get a real job which, let’s be real, isn’t happening any time soon.
First of all, don’t come knocking on the Civ door if your iPad is older than an Air 2 the app is only available for iPad Air 2 and later, including the iPad 2017 and iPad Pro. Instead, let’s talk about the app itself. We all know what Civilization is, so I won’t give you details about 4X games and yada, yada, yada.
It’s the real deal, with a real price, and it’s on the App Store. The one that takes days to finish a game, with full tech trees, barbarians, city states, and enough different Civs to fill a tiny UN. The one with Sid Meier in the title and Boromir doing the voice-overs. Yesterday saw one of the biggest surprise releases to ever land on the App Store, Civilization VI.
