Version and Scope

This release analyzes the standard Civilization VI: Gathering Storm rules represented in the local Civilopedia mirror. Optional game modes are classified separately and do not silently define the baseline. Civilization-specific, leader-specific, unit-specific, and policy-specific pages mainly serve as variants or examples.

The public v0.1 package contains ten system maps, 48 mechanic dossiers, 24 analytical rules, and four guided reading threads. It deliberately does not mirror all 1,942 source pages. Complete coverage is maintained privately in the source manifest and ledger.

Historical case studies and formal interpretive frameworks are designed into the content model but are not required in this release. Their absence is a boundary, not missing evidence for the game facts. Future cases will require independent sources and can support, narrow, counter, or revise a rule.

Future Civilization VII analysis will use separate game, game_version, ruleset, and content-hash metadata. Recurring mechanics may later receive comparison pages, while the Civ VI record remains stable.
