So I finally downloaded it from GoG. Installed it. And tried to run it. Tried. It could even start and was throwing some weird errors. Seriously, GoG, if you are making some installer and your binary depends on some external libraries, could you, you now, install it? Or prompt user to install it and tell him, what exactly is missing? Because you are not telling me.

So, overall, the same as constructor, which crashed my computer due to badly set defaults. Shitty package. I would expect more.

Quoting: TheRiddickIf we're lucky Witcher3 could get a VulkanAPI update in the future since it looks like most the Bethesda games will get it I don't see w3 devs excluding themselves.

PS. VulkanAPI runs 1:1 parity with windows under Wine, fyi.
? W3 is not Beth game.

Maybe it is more like UFO?

Quoting: Colombowhat does it mean "turn based combat with real time base-building elements"? To me it sounds like one of those web games.
Battles will be turn-based, but you build your base in real time like and RTS. Exactly how it sounds, but I haven't played it yet to be 100% clear. Will wait for a key.
Well, thank you for repeating what you already wrote, and what I wrote, without bringing any new information.

Maybe it will be like UFO, there was base building technically "real time" with turn-based combat.

I have played it, I don't know if first or the second, and I was quite disappointed. Weak RPG elements, weak story and horrible controls. The turn-based system is nice, but having to click all the time I wanted to move by one point was tedious.

Additionally, the world was quite empty, I expected a lot of interactions, but most interactions were just killing stuff, which was basically if diablo was turn-based and without flashy spells.

I certainly see why some people might like it, but I missed either interesting character development in the sense of skills and abilities or

more interesting and interactive world.

WTF is that "Czechia" and "Czech"? Dudes can't even find out real names for regions?

What does "original IP" even mean? Is there some non-original IP?

KohlyKohl: That was exactly what I wanted to write. It looks like one of those later settlers, what was it, settlers 5/6?

Question is: How is mod support? I tried few mods and they didnt worked at all. I tried classical renaming scheme (for some reason, Civ6 files on Linux are all lowercase, although official DLCs dont do that), but it didnt worked. So I am a bit baffled.
