2K, Firaxis unstack Civilization VI’s cities

2K and Firaxis Games’ new “Unstacking Cities” video details how the functionality will impact Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.

“Unstacking Cities has implications that permeate the entirety of the Civilization VI experience and this change presents new emergent strategies to players,” 2K said today in a press release. “Choosing where to settle your city is now more crucial than it has ever been, as available tiles affect the potency of Districts and limit what Wonders can be erected in that particular city. This means players must adapt to their environment, consider greater city specialization and create more diverse empires throughout play.”

The mechanic also affects combat, with those that are spread out becoming more exposed to enemy warmongers.
