Sadly the game is not much more than a building/managment simulator at the moment.

A good point! Transfer might be too harsh though. Maybe only a small or no bonus to food/production in the starting city would be enough.

TBH in some way I always imagined when the AI does not good it is part of the simulation. Many statesmen, generals and leaders have done very stupid things in history. And not one of them was an almost allmighty, 6050 year old overlord like we, the players, are. So it's okay to do better for...

I heard great things about the 64bit based engine GalCiv3 is going to use. Can anybody inform us if and how this is true?

In Civ5 you have even more than in Civ4 I think, not really sure though! At least the same count. And now we only get default and 3 affinities. Which is a bit lame. Should have at least minor differences.

They didn't even bother to make unique city graphics for each faction, so bad luck hoping for such features.

Well I know a couple of people who cant beat prince in Civ4 and 5, so there is that.

And happinies and health per city, like in Civ4. That game had really figured it out! Luxury resources then could be allocated to cities with a limited supply which would encourage getting more of them. Or maybe they would give like +3 to the city they are next to and +1 to all other cities. But...

Taken the words out of my mouth :) likewise! Never played germany much in civ anyways.

I would like more than 2 choices or more quest variants based on random or maybe the planet type. ATM it seems really more like a disguised promotion system.

You mean turn based 4x games. Never have seen a good or even decent AI.

Mh I have beaten Deity multiple times but did not know you could sell buildings during a raze.

I think we should agree that for immersion reasons it would be bad to almost always have to have negative health to be efficient. It makes little sense that only the dirty, people absusing societies have the edge. Of course that can be a valid strategy, but usually not in the long run...

There should be a stacking bonus for having more than 10 health and a stacking malus for having less than -10. Maybe incorporate virtues. Yes, since Civ5 there are really not enough penalties involved. It's always only choosing a bonus, no negative consequences... And it seems we are at the...

If Civ would be made by me, the only civs available would be the really early ones like the egypts and tribes like the suebs or celts and they would get the option to form kingdoms, empires and later nations with new names. Always hated it when you meet the USA or France, Germany and other...
