Civilization VI: Rise and Fall review — loyalty has a price

My new favorite aspect of Civilization is watching my empire’s symbol flash under a city as it prepares to transfer its Loyalty from its leader to me.

I’m playing Poundmaker, the leader of the Cree, one of the great Native American peoples. Renown traders, I’ve built my empire in such a way that I’m not just trading gold, food, and production with neighboring cities, but I’m also sending pressure with just how much better my civilization is than theirs.
