By the gods, you really didn't get along with your neighbors. :eek: Even Big Baron Bismark seemed to be out for blood. It's the infamous AI dogpile from Civ3 all over again. :crazyeye: Some nerve you have against those horde of undead knechts. :lol: That was my experience in my last immortal...

No file association for me either. Clever use of topic icon, Thalassicus. :goodjob:

BTS or ciV? BTS hands down. cIV vanilla or ciV? cIV all the way.

Your neighbors are out to get you, but where are they? :lol: There doesn't seem to be that many resources to the east so the area isn't appealing at all. On the other hand, those mountains in the west + location of Copenhagen made the area supremely defensible and be considered safe (unless...

Yeah we're all waiting for that patch in the sky. :lol:

I have one word to say to you, just one word: GLOBAL PRODUCTION. (well, two actually :lol:) In fact, do global ANYTHING (food, production, even cities). Hey, I like the idea of least click MP games. :crazyeye: Kind of like a timed chess game. What happens if you lose but you have the least...

Well, I've stopped playing too. 59 hours of gameplay might have been considered a decisive victory for any other game, but for a civ game it should rank as major defeat, to use ciV lingo. ;) I'm guessing that like me you probably didn't really enjoy part of those 59 hours either. Wow.. let's...

Voted for ciV. It simply had little to no wow factor whatsoever for me, even in the first couple of games (many ended in chores and frustration, in fact). The new hex tiles and great graphics were quickly overshadowed by gameplay issues, atrocious UI and many missing features (from cIV vanilla...

That was my opinion too, yet I voted for "all games matter" which I thought best represents my sentiments. No offense to the poll creator, of course.

Great! Now to direct them to CFC and pledge them as fanatic for life!!! :lol: Epic poll, if a bit confusing. I agree that the game should never be substitute for proper history books, though it definitely makes for an interesting starter tool to get people interested. Kids should definitely...

Those speech bubble commentaries were great! Lolz at the expense of nations. Especially loved the sleeping warrior and that sight on Tokyo. :lol: Indeed, selling open borders for 50 golds a pop in ciV somehow feels odd. That and being a "city merchant" early in games. :crazyeye: By the way, I...

This is very true for some of the other broken/questionable mechanics too. It seems that the AI just can't let go of their "playing to win" ego even on team games. In ciV, there really is an I in team. :( A far cry from the friendly team AIs in cIV..

Well, at least EA didn't have the nerve to brand Societies as Sim City 5, and that game was made by a different developer too. People wouldn't be half as outraged if the game was, say, Civilization Societies (not that that's a good sign :lol:) but in this case it is V, the latest in the...

Well, I was refering to the other AI personalities as well actually.. I read a thread where someone said that ciV Monty makes cIV Monty look like Mansa Musa. In my opinion this applies to the other AIs too, not just the new Monty. :crazyeye:

I think that problem is here to stay, unfortunately. Many people pointed the return to opaque diplomacy as a major step back months ago, yet those plea fell on deaf ears and here we are. It seems that where we see an aggro-Monty AI, the developers see an AI "playing to win", not that it's any...

How did Revolutions fare on the consoles by the way? I was under the impression that it did sell but not all that well compared to previous civ games.

Now made more generic than ever due to the large area of tiles a city can work on.

Fallout 3 is no Spore, that's for sure. Aside from disappointment of seeing the generalized ending sequence (I expected to learn more about the fates of the people I met based on my actions, like in Fallout 2 "Gold") Fallout 3 is absolutely game of the year material for me. On the topic of...

Agreed. It's always nice to visit the Fallout universe regardless of whether they are top-down or in full 3D.

I found the wording a bit confusing too, so I voted for all games matter. In my opinion games in a series should always improve and build on previous installments, and Civilization is no exception. For me the latest game has definitely failed in that regard, now more so after reading the...
