Booted it up again last month, the cover system still teaches Civ VI a thing or two about terrain use.
CoopRunner
Cover system beating Civ VI on terrain sounds right to me, though I'd stop short of calling it a masterclass overall, still worth the replay.
Carpentier2010
Le système de couverture reste solide, oui, mais je trouve que Civ VI gère mieux la lisibilité globale d'une carte entière.

Oh sure, it's a masterpiece, that's why half the forum still argues if it even belongs in this bracket.

Half the forum arguing if it belongs, funny since I never see that fight under XCOM, why is that?

Way more tense than XCOM turn based tension. Different beast though, closer to real time chess with terrain.

My kid asks for one more mission every single night, so bedtime keeps sliding later than it should.
