All these remakes that have been coming out of the media lately are really getting old. I don't care, the 1994 original was superior and probably will be superior. I would rather see Firaxis take an idea that worked in UFO: Enemy Unknown and make that into a new, innovative game, rather than...

That's not what it sounded like to me when you mentioned RFC. Any idiot can see the terrain with World Builder. I think you're asking for something better than the fog of war that is in BtS. I never said that. Civilization V is a terribly broken game and the current best strategy for it is...

Diablo III is a sad disappointment. I truly think that Blizzard doesn't particularly care about adding in new, innovative features into their games anymore. More of a scheme to cash in and give something to fret about as their finances increase with every year. Tried Diablo III the other...

So it sounds to me that you much prefer the mods over the initial game itself. I'm not sure what you mean by fog of war. Civilization V is much more a second-rate war game than BtS.

Don't put starting techs in the same category as leader traits. Unless you consider the small espionage bonus and additional trade route from Castles something worthwhile, Tokugawa isn't exactly stellar in the economic field. I never said IMP was bad, I'm just saying that AGG is something...

I figured you were going to say this after I watched over 25 of your 'Let's Play' Civilization IV episodes on Youtube from start to finish.

I was only mentioning what other people were saying earlier in this thread. Darius I could just as well be considered in his own category. As for Boudica, her traits are very much on par with Genghis Khan and Tokugawa. Purely warmongering traits, and unless you've got a good reason to do...

It's often said that Darius I is one of the best leaders in the game. Conquest, Domination, Space Race, Diplomacy, Culture, doesn't matter what victory you go for with Darius. Because of this he tends to hold more options for you early on, and along with his good unique unit and building, he can...

What are we talking about here? The actual history of the Earth itself, or the Earth maps provided in the initial CIV IV game along with the mods?

It's all about the money now. I wish there was another patch for Beyond the Sword. Having to deal with worker auto-suicide, bad vassal state mechanics, and sometimes poor AI aren't necessarily my cup of tea. Instead, Fireaxis is concentrating on providing DLCs for Civilization V, as well as...

I prefer the late game. The downside to that is an overall lower score. Should you finish your game around 1950-2050 AD, don't count on having a particularly awesome ending score. ICBMs, Gunships, Stealth Bombers, and Submarines. Definitely more appealing to me than Macemen and Longbowmen.

So what you're technically saying here, is the jump from Immortal from Deity is a higher jump from anything else in the game. I believe TheMeInTeam said that Immortal to Deity is similar as in Noble to Immortal. Deity is only one level up from Immortal, but I guess CIV 4 developers wanted to...

Let me set a few things straight here Seraiel. I'm fine and dandy for those who have pulled off record finishes and play Immortal-Deity on a normal basis. I've played a few games on Emperor-Immortal, the tech rate is definitely better because the AI tech rate is substantially better. As I had...

This was probably answered a bunch of times already, but I don't feel like sifting through 62 pages just to find a simple answer. Actually I have two questions: 1. What is the difference between Space Race and Space Colony? In the actual game, the only victory condition for this is Space Race...

I have in fact watched a number of users on Youtube who normally play on Immortal. A couple of them are frequent posters here on the Civilization Fanatics Forums. 143,667 just doesn't sound like too good of a score for those of you who normally score higher. But I was playing as Shaka, and got...

I believe I saw that on the CIV IV Hall of Fame. That's just crazy. Anything above 1,000,000 as your final score is just awesome in my opinion. Someone mentioned that some of these high scores involved spreading corporations in around the 1300s-1500s. That's pretty early for corporations...

I wouldn't bash on Castles if they would of made a meaningful difference like Granaries, Forges and Factories do. The additional trade route never did too much for me, and the espionage increase is barely worth noting.

While we all have our tastes on which traits suit us the most in a given situation, I'm honestly not that surprised to see that Protective is quite often the worst trait in the game. The reasons, quite obvious in fact. Those free City Garrison I and Drill I promotions may give you a slight...

Okay, this is just a fun thread in which you post the highest score you ever obtained after a victory (Score, Time, Conquest, Domination, Culture, Diplomacy, and Space Race). Very much a basic thread with nothing new to offer other than posting your highest scores. I tried to conduct a search...

Still nothing worthy of mention coming out of Civilization V. The apparent flaws and simplifying of the system mechanics are still there. One year and a half after it's initial release date. Diplomacy, still lacking in depth. I'm not sure what older Civ fans are waiting for.
