    Animated leaders only enables at the top performance settings in desktop Civ VI. I’m sure that’s related to their not being here.

    No need to jailbreak (anyways jailbreak for iOS 11 dont exist, do they ?) just look at past comments theres a walkthrough on how to do it.

    I think there is a jailbreak for anything under 11.2. The signing window has closed for those iOS versions.

    Thank you for the answer. My only Civ VI experience was watching gameplays and being sad that I was unable to play. I never knew animated leaders were related to the performance settings in Civ VI. Not sure if it is the same for Civ III and IV which I did own a long time ago on my desktop / laptop but at least knowing it wasn’t cut intentionally from VI is reassuring.

    I hope they can find a few optimisations, early game, large map, already time between turns is a while!

    This involves connecting to a desktop / laptop. Use phoneview, ifunbox or iexplorer... anything that lets you browse file system.

    I managed it using iTunes - problem is you need a bluetooth keyboard to bring up the Command Line which lets you bump the UI Scale to 2

    I cant believe some of the reviews on the Canadian app store... seriously...

    Here are the highlights :

    1 - This game isnt actually free (1 Star)

    It is much uglier and dull compared to the computer version.

    2 - Looks terrible ! (1 star)

    Wow just installed this thing and couldnt be more dissapointed. The graphics look terrible and its not even optimized for the 10.5" iPad pro. You'd think something new would take that hardware into consideration.


    I am... beyond flabbergasted... youre playing Civilization for the graphics ? Really guys ? Its like playing friggin Chess for the soundtrack.

    Oh and... why the fudge should it be FREE ? You have any idea of the amount of work that was poured in this ?

    Plays great on iPad Pro 9.7

    This is a great game on the iPad, even more so since I adjusted the retina and scaling settings using iMazing and a small Bluetooth keyboard. I can’t understand all the whinging, it’s easily the best Civ game out there. Playing it on the iPad is perfect for me. There is even the option to play using an external keyboard for those who prefer to. People complain about the lack of premium games on the platform, then moan like hell when one of the best games ever charges more than the standard iOS price. Is it any wonder we get so much garbage on this platform.

    I haven’t found any way to cycle through like you can with keyboard, independently of the big button. However, if you bring up a unit and then tap/hold the title bar of the unit box you get a list of deployed units. You can select from there and walk down the list.

    Comparison to the other Civilization?

    How does this new Civ compare to the other Civilization from 2K on the market?

    I enjoyed that one but it got kinda old after a while
