Changes: Civic (Civ6)

Revision as of 13:06, 22 October 2016

Civics are a new concept in Civilization VI. They encompass the progress in a variety of non-military and non-scientific aspects of the game, allowing for a player to concentrate on things like cultural development and diplomacy, instead of just researching the latest military tech. Civics are the main way to develop advanced forms of government. There are 50 civics in the base game, with some not being needed to progress through to the end of the tree.

The Civics Tree

Civics are organized in a research tree, very similar to the scientific technologies tree from previous games. In fact, this technology tree has been split in two in Civilization VI, but whereas progressing through the technology tree requires Science scientific development, progressing through the Civics tree requires Culture cultural development. Progress on individual Civics may be boosted by fulfilling an Inspiration requirement, similar to eureka moments in the technology tree. For a list of individual civics, see below.

It is now fully possible for a civilization to develop along these lines, and still win the game without bothering with developing science. This allows for an entirely new focus in the game.

Developing Civics will also unlock special new game items, called Policy Cards, which can be put together to form your civilization's Government agenda. In addition, Civics can unlock new units, buildings, districts, and wonders.

Policy Cards

The Policy Cards are the actual representations of the social orientation of your nation. Each Policy Card represents an effect, which is activated when you place the card in the respective slot in your Government. (For more info on how to do that, please see the Government article.)

There are four types of Policy Cards, which distinguish the general area of the effect; each one has its distinct color:

Military (red color)
Economic (yellow color)
Diplomatic (green color)
Wild (purple color)
