Problem

Civilization VI is a complex strategy game where players often face information overload and decision fatigue. Existing tools are fragmented and lack real-time, personalized support, making it hard for players to optimize their strategies efficiently.

Discovery

I surveyed three levels of Civilization VI players and obtained information and conclusions from three different player perspectives

  • Players enjoy unpredictability and learning through trial and error, so overly direct advice could hurt the fun. Mid-game is engaging, but late-game often becomes repetitive.

    Jake R.

    Beginner Players

    Players prefer open-ended hints, real-time personalized support, and lightweight AI assistance over watching long videos. Contextual reminders about critical mechanics, planning, and unique abilities can enhance the experience.

    Intermediate Player

    Community-driven suggestions also help players make better decisions naturally.

Conclusion

🌱 What I Learned
Through this project, I realized how important it is to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere during user interviews. When users feel comfortable, they are more likely to express their genuine thoughts and emotions. By providing timely encouragement and feedback throughout the interview process, I was able to foster better engagement and gather more valuable insights.
The redesign in this phase focused mainly on functionality, including content architecture and flow optimization. Looking back, I see opportunities to place greater emphasis on interaction design in the future—such as user task flows, feedback mechanisms, and UI responsiveness—to further improve usability and enjoyment.
