(The highlights are mine.) Or maybe 10 years later... :D

[My highlight above.] People, please look at the Original Post's date: it's Jul 08, 2010, 04:31 PM. :) Let's end this here and now, right? :goodjob:

Welcome to Civfanatics, lordsurya08! You should try and play Civ4 (even without any expansion) to feel the difference. IMO, the Civ franchise's evolution is like the creation of one of that Renaissance sculptures by a succession of various great artists. Over the years, each one of them...

They turn gold into mana. :D Also, the deeper your pockets are, the more willing your "friends" are to back your diplomatic victory.

:lol: That's because the people are just like the barbarians above. :mischief: :lol: My two cents... The "magic food" got from maritime City States comes from Star Trek-like replicators. :D

Agreed. I would just change "bad dream" for "knightmare". :) I agree 100% with Thormodr. I am feeling like a dumb victim of a well orchestrated hype machine. It makes me think that Civ6 would follow the line of the hilarious screenshot shown here. So, I regret to say that I can't help...

Perfect description! I have won a Deity Civ5 game (pangea, duel) just by saving gold and playing dead, while the other guy (AI) conquered all the continent. He spared my puny civilization and went for a diplomatic victory (he was allied with the four City States of the game). Right under his...

Great post! Civ IV.5 would be an awesome game! Please, hexes no more. Please, 1UPT no more. These are so lame. Hexes are unreal - N, S, E, W, NE, SE, NW, SW are way more intuitive. 1UPT are for real life board games, where it is physically impossible to stack too many units per hex. In...

Civ5 is only about the tedious juggling of units in a big sliding puzzle. Bad: this very design was chosen as Civ5's foundation. Worse: for the first time, I have read, on these Civ5 threads, posts saying that Civ5 "cured" people from their "one more turn" syndrome. Now, this kind of "cure"...

Nice review, Catt_Ironheart. IMO, only someone in denial won't see how plagued by problems Civ5 is at the moment (or forever). :goodjob: Yeah! Me too! :king: :D Mark my words: this will be the shortest period between two Civilization versions (Civ5 to Civ6) in the history of this video...

Oh. Now I understand it. Well, it was just something very unexpected for me in the heat of the game, when my focus was far away from this tech. I was expecting a high-end tech, instead of a low-end one. Thanks for your reply. :)

I disagree. That's a game design flaw. If I didn't researched it already, it was because I wasn't interested in it in the first place. In fact, "Trapping" was plain useless for me. The game just didn't get it. And the cheapness of the tech wasn't an excuse for me to research it either - the...

Very well written! Congratulations! :goodjob: Large empires are indeed much better than smaller empires in Civ5. The only drawback is that large empires have a harder time trying to win a Cultural Victory (if this is really something possible to happen). But, when your empire is the...

Well, in Deity, research agreements are very "funny". Me and my "partner" have put on the table 167 gold each for a 25 turns research agreement. Very well. After 25 turns, the "Trapping" technology popped up for me. What? Are you kidding, right? I could have researched this piece of junk...

Well, I have purchased Civ5 and I am not happy with it at this moment. It has a lot of potential, but it also needs a lot of (re)work. As my "Join Date" shows, I have been lurking around here for a long time, but I have decided to participate more after Civ5 was launched. Unfortunately, it has...

LOL! :D Exactly! That kind of immunity would be awesome in any version of Civ. It's so lame that a player (human or AI) would rely only on pre-infantry units to defend its territory and cities against steel-armored units armed with high explosive weaponry. Also, it's plain ridiculous that...

The above is very important. If I remember, your influence will decay 33% faster if another civ adopts this Social Policy. Also, don't be a bully to the City States if you plan to use some of their advantages, because, even if they don't like each other, they talk with each other.

Oh, no! Do you want more unhappiness? In Civ 5, unhappiness is like a cross-over between pollution and corruption from previous Civ versions. But I've got your point - and you're correct. In Civ5, we can declare war and fight at will without compromising the (already problematic) happiness of...

Wait. I have seen this image before. It was with much less eye-candy... Let me think for a while... Of course! Civilization II is back in all its Glory! Ugh.

How nice to hear that I am not alone! :) Now, back to Civ IV. :D
