It's possible to win the game through a technological space race, or cultural / religious dominance. As in real history, all Civ sessions feature intense rivalries between competing nations which often spill into open conflict.Ĭiv 6's design strongly encourages use of military units as a means to victory. The game purports to simulate the rise of a society from ancient times to the near-future. By playing as a pacifist, I wanted to see if it was possible to survive, abiding by a strict policy of non-violence. Civilization 6 is designed to make you fight. In all my 20-odd years playing Civ games, this is a first for me.
