Tile/hex based maps, yes, but the presentation from both games are drastically different. In Civ V it actually looks like you're on a real world with realistic geography. 

This is from Civ 6 early in the game. It looks like you're on a flat surface like a tabletop. Art direction is also a bit more cartoony.

This is from Civ 5 early in the game. Terrain looks much more realistic with the mountains sticking out. 

And as the game goes on, it looks and feels like you're managing a real world. And that was in 2010! Idk how the franchise managed to regress in 2016 when Civ 6 released. 

But you can definitely tell that Civ 5 devs are the ones making Ara. 

Even the water looks more realistic in Civ 5, which Ara is going for a more realistic design. 

Civ 6 here almost looks like a mobile game lol 

If Civ 6 wasn't developed with console/mobile in mind, then Firaxis really came across a massive accident that allowed them to

Jusant was great, a beautiful soundtrack too.

Same. Obviously I'll be happy to hopefully see a proper gameplay demo of Hellblade instead of just the in-engine and somewhat gameplay trailers we have seen so far, and I'll also be happy to finally see Indiana Jones and learn important information about the game such as the engine it is using, the character model and if they got Harrison Ford likeness rights at the very least even if they didn't get voice acting from him, and how it will play hopefully. However, the game I'm most excited to see more of is Avowed because RPG is my favorite game genre by far. I want to see the graphics upgrade the damage control dev promised after the summer showcase trailer disappointed somewhat graphically, I want to see more of how it plays, I want to see more areas of the world, I'm hoping to see a bit of the character creator and learn about the classes or if it is a classes RPG like Elder Scrolls instead. 

As for Ara, I'm still not sure if I'm interested in it so it is my least hyped of the 4. I was once a big RTS fan but that was more than a decade ago and until I get my PC upgraded I don't feel like I can properly play them, and I'm not sure if I will like Ara gameplay compared to AoE 4 anyway, which I still need to play.

Well the good news is that Ara is turn-based strategy and not real time strategy like Age of Empires 4, so it'll be a completely new experience for you then lol

Thing is, using Harrison Ford likeness or voice acting would likely be more expensive than it's worth (honestly, I don't even care if it isn't Harrison Ford likeness/voice) and trying to imitate him will feel cheap, take notes from Guardians of the Galaxy, that Starlord wasn't trying to be a carbon copy of Chris Pratt and honestly that Starlord was better than Chris Pratts, Lol.

Looking at the map there it feels pretty obvious to me that TES 6 is indeed set in Hammerfell as rumored, or perhaps the combined Hammerfell + High Rock map which has also had some rumors. They are surely saving the remainder of the Hammerfell region in ESO for after TES 6 drops, I can see no other reason why such a large chunk of Hammerfell is still missing after nearly a decade, more than any other region of Tamriel. 

It's also pretty telling looking at some of the other regions still missing large areas, particularly Morrowind and Dead Marsh. Dead Marsh is still missing quite alot of playable area, which makes me think Bethesda could be planning to set TES 7 there. Morrowind is missing half of that eastern peninsula that was also missing in the TES 3 map, which is quite interesting, since that peninsula connects with Dead Marsh it makes me wonder if we could be looking at a combined map Dead Marsh and Southern and Eastern Morrowind in TES 7.

Yeah, I've never even tried a 4X style turn based strategy game, so I really have no idea if I would like it or not.

Best example to play would be Civilization V. Still the pinnacle of the genre imo. At least until Ara releases! The game released in 2010, so your PC should be more than powerful enough to run it. It's usually pretty cheap on Steam. 

4X games are the ultimate "just one more turn" genre I've been up till 3am playing these games when I was younger. They're VERY addictive. Especially once you're in the modern era and get a shitload of tanks and nukes to wreak havoc! 

Just look at this! And from 2010! I can't imagine terrifying and epic a nuke will look like in Ara!

Comparing the two maps, some of the missing cities are...

Hammerfell - Dragonstar and Elinhir are both on the game map.

• Hegathe
• Gilane
• Taneth
• Rihad
• Skaven

Black Marsh

• Thorn
• Helstrom
• Archon
• Blackrose
• Soulrest

Skyrim

• Dawnstar
• Falkreath
• Whiterun
• Winter Hold

Morrowind - Ald'ruhn is on the game map.

• Blacklight
• Tear

Elsweyr - Riverhold is on the game map.

• Corinthe
• Torval

High Rock - Farrun is there as Fharun Stronghold on the game map.

• Jehanna

Valenwood - Falinesti and Greenheart are both on the game map.
Summerset Isles - Dusk is there as Dusk Keep, not yet settled on the game map.
Cyrodiil - Skingrad isn't there but very likely the next expansion.

So Hammerfell, Skyrim and Black Marsh missing the most but I'm fairly sure people are sick of Skyrim at this point and Skyrim was already done in the mainline series, it does start to feel like they're intentionally avoiding filling in the rest of Hammerfell at times, Lol. I'm not sure however, if all these cities in Oblivion's map even existed back in TESO as it is like 800 years in the past, Lol.

I think ES6 is set in Hammerfell though cause the Thalmor will likely play a major part in the story and Hammerfell was devastated by the Dominion but ultimately the Dominion had to pull out of Hammerfell IIRC so it may be some sort of safe haven against the Dominion but one where they still plan on taking over.
