What We Think

Civilization VI is largely non-woke, focusing on gameplay and history rather than ideology. Some modern updates broaden representation, but this doesn't fundamentally compromise the experience.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Civilization VI primarily focuses on strategy rather than narrative, with leadership traits mostly connected to historical figures. Some leader choices and traits could be seen as modern reimaginings, but on the whole, merit and gameplay outweigh ideological considerations. Forced representation is minimal, and diverse leaders are drawn from real history.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The game generally treats religion, culture, and history with respect, allowing players to found and spread religions and build civilizations around real historical principles. Occasionally, religious or cultural mechanics might be simplified or abstracted, but they are not outright mocked or subverted. Traditional structures are preserved more than undermined.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the list of civilizations and leaders has grown more diverse over time, dissenting perspectives or romanticized versions of empires aren't a focus. The portrayal of all civilizations as equally valid may gloss over nuances, but the game avoids obvious caricatures or uniformity of modern ideology beyond inclusivity.
