Sid Meier's Civilization® VI 12+

I never played civ 6 on pc but playing mobile i see the appeal. I played on game on the smallest map and easiest difficulty just to get a hang of the game and it worked fine. I decided to up the difficulty and size of the map and the game is unplayable. Early into the game it glitches with the ui breaking and im un abble to make any move. Even reset the game and loading it to the previous save point the in progress game doesnt work. Its unfortunate because i wanted to get the expansion pack to get the full experience but i will avoid that now. I hope that the developers can improve this or with the release of civ7 it will be optimized for mobile devices.

Some other improvements can be made about ux for mobile. The help guide is not easy to navigate. There are also times when i accidentally move a unit and there no way to undo the move before the game automatically goes to the next turn. There might be a setting i change but the point is that on mobile where my unit is and where i need to navigate on the map may not be in the viewport. This design constraint should be considered

I’ve played civ since civ 3. I am very pleased that they managed to get this on a mobile platform. I’ve come to one rather significant issue though, game save corruption. Maybe playing on a large map is the issue? Idk. I use an iPhone 13 Pro Max, it handles the game fine once I’m able to load into the game save. Recently though, my game saves are no longer loading because of an error: “Save version is incompatible.” I get the same error on the auto saves as well for that save. I can load an older one, just many moves behind. That isn’t the end of the world aside from 10 moves taking about 1.5-2hrs to finish. I play on deity large map with 4 other AI with domination victory only and no mods aside from what comes with the base game. I can only imagine trying to run mods for this game on mobile smh. So this is quite frustrating of course, but for $10 it isn’t terrible. Personally I won’t buy any additional content as it seems clear to me at least that the mobile version just isn’t at a point to run that much without even more issues. Keep your worlds large maybe even standard or smaller and things will be smoother? If you enjoy the civ franchise and would like to play on the go, this is worth it. Just don’t expect the PC experience with massive maps and lots of civs and mods in one game save haha. And remember, you are just one move away from many more moves to come. So try it out! Cheers

UPDATE: PLEASE FIX RANGED TARGETING BUG. It only happens when using the targeting button but not when dragging and releasing to target. The only way to continue the game is to close the app entirely and reopen. This makes fighting any war nearly impossible.

ALSO- TRYING To create an account and verify email so that I can see updates is impossible. ASPYR has not created their system so that you can properly verify your email address. I tried, and i got the email, but it takes me to a login screen. I used my Apple ID to create my account so there is nothing I can put in here. Every time I try anything that has worked with aspyr for other games doesn’t work, it says “Forbidden access” or something like that. PLEASE FIX THIS. Since they resolved the iOS 17.4 failure to launch bug, there’s been a ranged targeting bug that only happens when you use the targeting button or the city targeting. I can usually use it once or twice but then if I use it again it will create weird colored pixelated areas on the map and lock the whole screen. It never happens when I drag to target using a ranged unit. Please fix this. I have started to quick save every time i have to use the city ranged targeting feature because it happens so frequently now. Other than that i do like to play the game. Looking forward to Giv 7 and seeing what they’ve improved. (Hopefully)
