The latest installment of the historical 4X video game franchise — "Civilization 6" — has recently received a batch of fresh content once again from its Fall 2016 update, and gamers are getting hyped over the new game features including new multiplayer maps, scenarios, and more.

As the fall update for "Civilization 6" was released, the game now offers its gamers with two new multiplayer maps including the "Six-Armed Snowflake" and the "Four-Leaf Clover" that requires them to move to the center. .

The "Four-Leaf Clover" map will be available to four players, while the "Six-Armed Snowflake" is available for six. Both multiplayer maps are made to be accessible online and offline.

Districts were also introduced in "Civilization 6," making the construction of cities more strategical. Districts can accommodate certain city enhancements such as factories and libraries that can provide gamers with adjacency bonuses if placed next to each other or near natural areas such as rainforests and mountains.

When asked about the inclusion of districts in "Civilization 6," Firaxis lead producer Dennis Shirk says that districts makes the game more thrilling because it adds complexity and a land-management factor when creating cities, making gamers think more carefully about their plans when building cities.

"We wanted the map to be more important in Civilization 6 than it had ever been in previous Civilization games," Shirk said.

"This is the element that changes the most from game to game, and we wanted the world to help shape your strategy and choices. Districts were a way to add some specialization to cities, while giving players an interesting challenge in how to use the land within their empire," he added.

Other new minor features in "Civilization 6" include more notifications, hotkey support, and visual cues. As for major added features in the game, players will now face a Time defeat whenever they run out of time.
