Civ games aren't too demanding. You probably just need to make sure you have at least 8 GB ram for 5 or 6. I did notice that on basic computers sometimes the wait time between turns (especially if you have a huge map with a shitload of AI) would be long when playing 3 back in the day. So any decent spec laptop or desktop should be able to at least run Civ 5.
Civ 6 actually only has 4 GB RAM as min but you'd probably want 8 or you will be waiting longer between turns.
