    Civ4 lovers/civ5 haters, thoughts on civ6?

    My dear friend, VoxPopuli is not a official part of the game, can we agree on that? BTS was an official expansion, can we agree on that aswell? So no, this is _not_ the same thing here. I could go buy a lemon car, a Chrysler or GM or ... well basically any US-american brand for that matter...

    Civ4 lovers/civ5 haters, thoughts on civ6?

    Yeah, maybe unfortunate, but i'm not into mods. What can i say. Won't rule it out entirely, but otoh i do not feel any incentive to try it out. This is still about what we think about Civ6 compared to 4+5, right? Why discuss what Civ5 might be when it wasn't Civ5 then. This is not VoxPopuli...

    Civ4 lovers/civ5 haters, thoughts on civ6?

    You misunderstood my "no matter the mods" part, i think that warfare is a PITA no matter the mods, mostly because of the unit clutter. There are no armies/corps like in Civ6, it's really painful. Well, at least it's painful for me. Civ6 is painful enough, but at least the mechanics are better...

    Civ4 lovers/civ5 haters, thoughts on civ6?

    There's no way that i could enjoy Civ5, ever. Really no way - simply because i really HATE the fact that the mechanics force you into ~4-5 cities max. That's diametral to what Civ is about. I don't really see the point in playing this game - Domination is a total mess and by no means worth...

    Civ4 lovers/civ5 haters, thoughts on civ6?

    Disclaimer: I'm a major Civ4 fanboy and a major Civ5 hater. For me personally, the latter is just a very advanced screensaver. Civ4 is still the best game in the series, mostly because the AI is actually able to threaten you and put up a fight. There is SO much to learn and to know in this game...

    Does Civ 6 have the potential to surpass Civ 4?

    Well yes i do see your point, it's just that i doubt that something like that just went by unnoticed, when everything else about the game seems pretty polished. Am i dead wrong here? I've only watched streams so far, mainly because i don't have much time at the moment, but also because i don't...

    Does Civ 6 have the potential to surpass Civ 4?

    @LDiCesare Well i can't say you're wrong or anything, but i still do believe that you're not taking everything into account here. Yes, the AI is flawed, but maybe (just maybe) it's not that easy to fix it. Say the can take a city of yours, but doesn't do so - maybe there's some algorithm that...

    Does Civ 6 have the potential to surpass Civ 4?

    I do believe you're wrong here. The game's not completely bug-free, but still you can see that it had a lot of fine-tuning and beta-testing. So why do you believe something as fundamental as this AI went by seemingly unnoticed? Because it's hard to balance "fun AI" with "challenging AI". The...

    Does Civ 6 have the potential to surpass Civ 4?

    Yes please. Or at least the choice to stack at least A FEW units on the same tile. Micromanaging units in 5+6 is just too annoying the way it is right now. --- Regarding stupid AI, it'd be possible to have a better AI, no doubt. But the question is: will a vastly improved AI make the game...

    Does Civ 6 have the potential to surpass Civ 4?

    Well... "Civ"6 has maybe the best vanilla release of the series. 1UPT still kills it for me because it makes war unbearable, the AI's just too dumb to handle it. It's as simple as that, unfortunately. Don't get your hopes up, there won't be a big patch fixing the underlying issues. There hasn't...

    Tips how to beat deity

    Well, you can play certain strong leaders for example, Inca for example makes the game a LOT easier. Or you can handpick "easier" enemy leaders aswell, for example a bunch of guys who'll hate each other's guts from the get-go. Modifying your start is also an option, as are favourable map...

    ... and still Civ4 is superior. I'm sad.

    Do i have to repeat myself? Really? After two posts? ... Can you read? I'm out, once trolls like Callonia start to roll into the thread it's getting even more pointless than before. Not that i was hoping to have a decent conversation, although Civfanatics always was one of the greatest...

    ... and still Civ4 is superior. I'm sad.

    Please quote me for saying that "Civ5 is terrible". Otherwise, please refrain from putting words into my mouth that you see fit. I said more than once that Civ5 is a very good game on it's own, but i'm critizing that it's not a true successor of the franchise. Feel free to disagree. They had...

    ... and still Civ4 is superior. I'm sad.

    Can't say i'm surprised - you don't go to a Justin Bieber concert and expect people to agree on your laments about what a musician he is. Enjoy it, i'm not judging, i just wanted to express my thoughts. Feel free to enjoy league of legends, i rather play Dota2. Enjoy Diablo3, i prefer Path of...

    ... and still Civ4 is superior. I'm sad.

    So i got Civ5 when it got released - huge disappointment, and it actually was pretty obvious that it would never be a good game of the franchise because they just ed up too many things. Recently, a lot of friends (and reviews, professional and casual ones alike) said that Civ5 had been improved...
