Hi all,
I've been reading this forum for about a year now and I would like to thank all regular posters for their insightful advise and suggestions.
I typically play on the Emperor level and I can usually win at whatever victory setting I try. I have about 400 or so hours of experience and I really do love this game.
I do have one large complaint about the game and I was wondering if anyone else shared my opinion, I find the late game to be boring and rather tedious.
Usually my favorite part of any game is the first 150 turns or so, scrambling to get those vital early wonders, trying to find and spread a religion, fighting off an early attack by unfriendly neighbors (I'm looking at you Monty). And of course exploring the map.
Compared to this the late game doesn't seem to hold up its end of things. I can typically handle diplomacy well enough so that I don't get involved in many wars (I prefer to play peacefully and build). While the late game wonders can be pretty cool it doesn't seem to me like they have the same impact that the early game wonders have. I also find the late game combat (with the exception of naval combat) to be less enjoyable than in the early game.
So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions to fix this? Is there a way that I can change my play style to experience a more robust late game? Or will I have to wait for another expansion? It seems to me that G&K focuses mostly on the renaissance and the early parts of the game, with the exception of espionage.
PS,
Sorry if this post rambles a bit, civ is such a complex game its difficult to explain my experiences in one post!
