Red Death Battle Royale mode...I love it...but...

[TokyoDan]

I never wanted to buy or play a Civ game in my life although I have Civ 3 and Civ 4 that I got for free. But I bought Civ 6 just for Red Death.

The only improvement in Red Death that I desire is the ability to continue observing the game (to the end) after I've bee defeated.

Wow. I was telling some people just yesterday that I thought Red Death was cute, but I didn't think anybody would plop down money on Civ 6 just to play a variant.

is there a single player option?

Not really. They said they put in just enough AI to let the AI somewhat take over if a player leaves or drops. But certainly not enough to call it a functional single player.

It might be fun, but I would not base buying Civ 6 on it

Where do you find Red Death mode? I can't figure out how to play it!

[FurryDragonborn]

you have to enable it in additional content (and disable any mods you have installed as they won't work with red death mode)

You can play without other humans if you set up your own match and set all your opponents to be 'computer'. I played two matches (2-players) like that on the middle difficulty and I won both matches.

I bought it at a BIG discount...under $15. I wouldn't pay full price for it. But I bet it is popular enough among current CIV 6 players that one day it will be spun off into its own standalone game.

Actually I think it should be spun off because I bet there are a lot of people like me who'd love it but don't really like Civ games in general (I hate diplomacy in games). It is so different that it should not even be in a Civ game...and that price is holding back people who want it but don't want to pay a CIV6 price to get it.

red death is actually fun

[abracadingus]

I agree!

[Sandvich]

I find red death to be surprisingly fun. It has it's problems (matching making and connection issues are a mild-ish dumpster fire) and the randomness of the game mode is a little irritating for me. But other than that, it is honestly a ton of fun!

Also I really h*cking want to watch the game after death. Just make it so chat is no longer available post death. No downsides. No cheating. Just a way to see to see if that guy you some how bonded over killing each other has won.
