    Returning to civ but 5 or 6?

    Well my Civ 5/6 experience went like this: Civ 6 come out, uninstalled Civ 5. To this day have not reinstalled it. Played 6 for a month or so. Found it to be cool in some respects but too easy in more respects. Technology for instance is just to easy to acquire with the eureka thing. Even on...

    Status of Civ 6 AI

    Just played the beginnings of a game after leaving a several months ago. Met Japan, had a disagreement, they declare war on me. I kill off their initial army, they proceed to build 3 settlers and 2 builders.All of witch are taken by barbs. They only got that many build because I got distracted...

    Anyone else quit playing?

    I guess my reasons are not the same as yours. None of the things you mentioned are issues for me. They can all be dealt with or worked around. My issue is the AI. There is no work around for that and it can't be ignored. At the end of the day I feel it may be made for the masses because there is...

    Anyone else quit playing?

    Have not played in a few weeks. Guess I am done now too. I have a question. Has Firaxis actually come out and said that they know the AI is bad? I mean have they said that? I ask because I am starting to wonder if my first impressions were right. When we first saw the graphics many complained...

    Most loved / most hated

    I am the same way. If you do a search for it you can find a way to take them out of the game. It's a quick modification to one of the files. I played 3 or 4 games with them on and decided they do nothing for the game. But to be fair I did the same thing in Civ 5. Basically they made it easier...

    Pyramids can be built only on desert tiles

    I think the question has been answered many times. Perhaps you can ask it again in some new way. And I never claimed to speak for the deity crowd, I was stating my opinion on them. Far as I know I don't need permission to do so and I have no intention of stopping them from speaking for...

    Pyramids can be built only on desert tiles

    I don't understand the big deal. This adds plenty of strategy to the game. It's simple. Many players get into a groove of playing and this will upset that and make them change. This change in play to adapt to the new reality of the facts on the ground is known as strategy. If someone plays Civ...

    Civ Online it's happening

    Didn't see it anywhere else on the site and didn't know where to post something like this so if it's already known please ignore this. I recently got an email from mmorpg.com giving some info on Civilization Online that has apparently been in development since 2010...

    Longer turns?

    There was a post somewhere that said there was an issue with CiV trying to use the miltiple cores in a multicore processor. There was way to turn it off so it only used the one core. I did that and it sped things up measurably. Doesn't work for all issues but for some its the magic bullet...

    When will you buy it?

    Waiting to see if the diplomacy system is reworked to my liking. If they fix that I'm in, if not, well it was a good run Civ.

    Gods & Kings fears?

    I won't buy it until I see enough reviews from people here that think like I do that the diplo has been fixed enough to be fun. So my fear is that Civ 5 vanilla will be the last Civ game I ever buy. If this one doesn't get at least somewhat back to Civ's roots then its all over. Here's...

    politics are inconsistent and unpredictable

    Check out some of the other threads on the games diplomacy AI. Its a known issue and some have said it is getting fixed in the expansion. But basically the diplomacy factor in the game is weak. Its got a lot of problems that have been discussed in length in other posts. But no you aren't...

    Is Civ V finally worthy?

    As it sits now the base game is about the same for me, as far as the big picture goes. Sure patches here and there have smoothed out this or shored up that but the games bones themselves are the same as at release. It is still just a decent wargame for me. The new expansion looks like it...

    The Spanish Ripoff

    It's DLC. I think it should be understood that its just a gimmick to get more cash out of the player base. Sure they didn't ever say that you are only paying for early access for Spain, but they also didn't say that DLC will only be available as DLC. Its their product they can repackage and...

    Any major changes to diplomacy?

    Thanks guys, you have eased my mind. Looks like at the very least there is hope out there for me.

    Any major changes to diplomacy?

    I have read all I can find on the subject and have not come up with any real answer to my question. My question is will diplomacy get any sort of rework? For me its broken. I realize it is probably working as its designed but the whole "AI is playing to win" thing kills me. I like to have some...

    A prerelease/demo?

    Demo would hurt more then help. People with the game and like it will buy the Xpac no matter what. People that tried the game and hate it would only try the demo, realize the stuff they think is broken with the game is still broke and wont shell out cash for it. They will see it as a great...

    Need input on Civ V

    I don't want to address everything there, but all I can say is it isn't like any previous Civ game. You have to play through it a few times and accept it for what it is, not what you expect or want it to be. Kind of like adopting a teenager I would guess. For me (a recently returning player)...

    CiV V reViVal!

    I have come back to it myself in the last few days. Stopped playing the first 2 or 3 month after it came out. I finally just told myself its a different kind of civ. Once I accepted that it wasn't bad. I still don't like the same things I didn't like before, I just have lowered the standards...
