My computer could not take the strain of Civ V.

Will have to have Civ VI and it does look good. I was a little disappointed to see the leaders being cartoonish, but that will matter little if the game is good.

I agree. Still play Civ4 more than any of the others, but looking forward to Civ6. Sounds like they have really moved the series forward with this release.

Seems a good deal different - not least that (limited) stacking is back. The cities are no longer one hex affairs - which is good and cities not by the coast can still build dockyards and ports. No more workers building endless roads (one bad thing about Civ IV) as trade itself builds them. I like the Wonder builds too. A lot of stuff here.

Dare I say it looks promising?

I only looked at the slideshow pics. I also never read anything about it, just saw a few pictures.

Soooo long still. Really waiting for this game, but then again, I have been like that for them all. When the first screenies came out I was dubious, but after watching quite a few videos, I have to say that it looks promising.
I do however expect that it will only come to full life after a DLC or three

I still like part three and four over any of them.

I can play Civ2 on my netbook and Win 10 tablet even - though I can't get those advisers to work on the tablet. "Can't run an empire without luxuries, king."

I remember Civ I did not my interest for long, but then really playing the heck out of Civ II.

I make a guess:
AMD 5570 = AMD Radeon 5570
Nvidia 450 = Nvidia GeForce 450

DirectX is bunch of drivers and comparable software which you can download for free. Run dxdiag (hit Windows logo + r on your keyboard, type dxdiag, and hit the enter) to see what version you've got. If you see DirectX version # to be smaller than 11, you need to find and download DirectX 11.
