  IMO, Five is easier to learn and more straight-forward, while Six feels more convoluted, but Six gains some depth and variety from that if you put in the time to learn it.

    Yeah, I find 6 takes a bit more micromanaging to be effective, at least for me. I like both games, but if I had to choose one I’d go with 5.

  5 is superior imo, it's more simple to understand but has a lot to master. It's more visually appealing too, Civ 6 throws so much extra crap at you.

  5 is more depth from simple mechanics. 6 is adding mechanics to try and make depth.

    6 also has a really bad habit of trying to hide a lot of stuff away from you for idk why, cleaner aesthetics? In 5 almost all the numbers are there out in the open ready to be looked at in-game and it makes approaching everything much easier for me

      Mods are great for fixing this.

    I think 5 is what I’m looking for. Sometimes Civ (in general) gets out of hand with the micromanagement. I want something that’s kind of casual.

      Yeah 6 is micromanagement hell. Can always get used to Civ with 5 and then transition into 6 or 7 when that comes out.

  5 is a more traditional civ, 6 adds a lot of different things that add new layers, maybe not better things though.
