This is the Civ 5 rant thread - nuff said.
Finally, I must agree with previous posters that this is a rant thread where "rave" posts are not welcome and are off-topic, even sarcastic posts which this one clearly wasn't or was too well disguised at least. To be clear, it wasn't in the least sarcastic to me; it was framed in a very serious manner.
It was obvious that this post was sarcastic, and thereby is totally approppriate to the topic. If every thing would be said on the same tone everything would become boring quickly. Sorry if you can't detect the sarcasm, but the fact that the poster posted it on the Rants Thread is a good tip.
I think the poster elaborated enough, and he may wait for an answer instead of a discussion about the tone of his post.
Greetings all.
Welcome to the board! It's funny how controversial the 1UPT thing is. Most Civ 5 players and even the occasional Civ 4 player prefer the new combat system. Then there also many who despise it, for overemphasizing tactics, for distorting the scale, and for not providing a competitive AI. Anyway, since you are new to the forum and fairly new to Civ 5, it must be asked: have you played Civ 4 yet?
Greetings all.
While only about 10 games in and still a nuber to Civ5, I can't help but agree with many of the viewpoints, here.
The 1upt, is not well suited to the tile per landmass representation.
There would need to be many more tiles to produce viable playability.
Welcome to the boards
I like the 1UPT system. There are problems with the size of what each hex represents, but micro\macro was always a paradox in Civ regarding time, and now it is with space as well. For gameplay, I prefer it. There are still lots of other issues with Civ5 besides that, and while the patches have helped, it will be nice to see the .dlls released so the best devs (mod makers) can clean up the mess hopefully.
From what I understand, Civ Rev is a streamlined version of Civ 4.
An understatement imo, I have played Rev but I never was able to develop a sense of my place in it's world. Everything felt so...disconnected.
