More fun for me than Civ5. Less fun than Alpha Centauri or Civ4 though.

I would agree with these scores. Civ4 BTS would possibly get 90% from me, though :))

Bugs will get ironed out eventually. Even with them I think it's the best facebook game ever made. It plays like a game rather than a repetitive chore.

I'm currently playing this without paying real money, and it's incredibly fun. It's the only facebook game I've seen that has actual live interaction with other players, and it does not require you to spam your friends' profiles in order to get ahead. I have not yet experienced any pressure to...

I don't think I'll ever pay for virtual currency in a facebook game, but I'll definitely check out what the game is like to play for free.

I mostly play on Prince, but I might go to King in future games. I don't believe they'd settle in snowy areas with zero resources, though. I forgot to mention that this game was played with resources set to Sparse.

I used this thread to vent my frustrations about barbarians as well as asking for advice, so I guess you could call it both.

I still think barbarians need a little tweak to make them produce units that the AVERAGE civ has, instead of the most advanced civ.

That's actually a decent trick. I always end up with too many workers anyway, and this way I don't have to spread my ground forces too thin.

Yeah, this is the problem. As soon as I even finish researching a high military tech, barbarians (and city states) start pumping out high tech units, even though I haven't had time/gold to upgrade my own units to that level yet. If it weren't for the many social policies and civ abilities that...

I just finished playing an Ice Age game with wide continents. While I enjoy the barbarians in the early game, it can get so incredibly frustrating and time consuming to deal with them in the modern era. I had a huge tech lead, but as soon as I got the technology for destroyers and infantry, the...

Good trick. I'm just not gonna play this one, though. I find barbarian naval units too annoying on Archipelago. Escorting embarked soldiers is too cumbersome at the moment since you need to almost completely surround them to be safe.

Moar!

I love Steam. I've been using it since it was in beta and only had half-life and counter-strike. It has improved significantly since then.

Basically, don't spend social policies while you are in the process of razing cities.

Despite Nebuchadnezzar vastly outteching me and making four times as much gold per turn as me, I finally managed to get a cultural victory in 2019 AD. I only had 3 cities for the majority of the game, and was severely gimped because of it. Also, I could not trade a lot with Bazaar luxuries...

I'm currently playing this game. I started on a continent with two other civs: Greece and Siam. I decided to conquer them as soon as possible, razing every city except their capitals, which provide me with important luxury and strategic resources. Mecca, Athens and Sukothai are my only cities...

I experience this issue with my nvidia 9800GTX+ as well on low settings and dx10/11 mode. My workaround is to play in dx9 mode instead because I get inadequate performance and excessive GPU load with anything other than low settings.

Nevermind

It's pretty damn terrible that you can't save multiplayer games normally. Games can take way too long to play them in one sitting. I know there's the workaround with autosaves but it's a major flaw that a workaround is necessary in the first place.
