Civic

Civic is one of the various parts of Culture in Civilization VI. See also: Governments & Policies

The current Civic Tree taken from the September 7 Gameplay Video

Civics

• Social Policies in Civ 6 are now replaced with Civics, which in essence belong to their own separate tech tree and utilize Culture.
• The Civics you unlock give you a new card to slot into your "Deck". Throughout the game you gain Civics Cards which you can slot in and out of your deck for specialization purposes. Your Deck layout changes based on the government type you pick.
• Advancing throughout the Civics tree allows you to unlock new forms of government and opens new Civics cards which you can slot in and out and you can have in your "Deck" for specialization purposes, which depending on the government type will change the deck layout.
• Eureka! moments apply to Civics, but are called "Inspiration!"
• Like Technologies, each individual Civic has their own unique in-game side-quest, and like techs some of these you'll get through playing the game regularly, and some will require some extra effort. Advancing throughout the Civics tree allows you to unlock new forms of government as well as unlocking Policy and Civics cards.
