Civ 1 was the most fun because it was new, even though it was by far the simplest iteration. Civ IV the best version of the series. Civ 1 had what may still be the best answer the series has had to date to unit stacking... There was a cap on stacking of 8 units per tile, and if you lost as a...

Like 80% of the games I play these days are terra. Its too much fun to have 2 guaranteed stages of meaningful exploration in every game, and it also makes things extra spicy to have all civs crammed into like 2/3 of the land (or less) at the start. The maps are hit and miss for sure...

I will not even try the game unless 1 UPT is removed. Before all the "stack of doom" whiners come in to defend 1 UPT: Civilization 1 - When a unit was attacked and destroyed in open field combat, every unit in its stack was destroyed as well. HUGE deterrent to creating stacks of doom. Just...

Its between Civ 4 and Everquest. Everquest gets the nod on favorite game and most hours but Civ 4 is the only thing that comes close on either count.

I got Civ6 from the Epic games freebie offer, and still haven't gotten myself to play. Should I ? I don't think so. Civ 5 was a letdown, and everything I've read about Civ 6 says maybe some things are a little better, maybe some aren't, but the bottom line is 1 UPT is a deal breaker for me in...

Funny seeing people go out and buy iPads just for this like its the first time Civ has been playable on a tablet? Why would you buy an iPad when if you buy a Surface Pro or similar PC tablet you don't have to buy the game twice, are guaranteed to have all new content / expansions available on...

This movie was amazing, a masterpiece. Too bad they couldn't have gotten this guy to direct the new Star Wars instead of Rian Johnson. Looking forward to Dune now at least.

This movie is an abomination. Rian Johnson absolutely ruined a childhood hero character so many of us loved in Luke Skywalker, and completely wasted the interesting setup of The Force Awakens. Was so very much looking forward to this movie. Not looking forward to the next, who cares.

A Silmarillion series is exactly what I want, I hope that's what this turns out to be. They would need some great writers to flesh it out, but so much potential there for epicness.

This has hit me harder than about any other celeb death because he's been a consistent voice I've taken with me through pretty much the last 25 or so years of my life. No other musician I like has put out such consistently great music over that span. Amazing voice, equally amazing creative...

Yes - All I know is that it has destroyed the franchise for me. I probably will not buy another Civ game until they go back to stacks. I won't hold my breath on that, cause money talks. If Firaxis believes that they'll lose this new playerbase if they go back to stacks, they might not risk...

Never started. Civ V (ok game but didn't feel like Civ and rarely gave me that "1 more turn" feeling) led to me having a wait and see approach with Civ 6. All Civ 6 info at release told me to wait and see, and threads like this will likely just make me skip it altogether. I'm not going to...

Polluted the forum by spreading negative atmosphere? Part of the point of a game forum is to discuss both the points you like AND dislike about a game. Unless this forum has entered a Brave New World era where "a gram is better than a damn," I'll express my dissatisfactions when I have them...

Wasn't a big fan of Civ V, really don't like 1 UPT, and thus was taking a wait and see approach on this. Districts sounds interesting, but overall in reading the feedback I'm glad I didn't buy on release and at the time have no plans to buy it in the near future. I gather that the main two...

Been playing since Civ 1, Amiga 500 version. I'm not at all excited about Civ VI, and am not going to purchase it at release. The anniversary edition tempted me but I abstained. I'll try it out at some point, but not until well after release. My ideal Civ would be something of a mashup of 4...

Somewhat pessimistic, leaning towards very pessimistic. 1 UPT just makes it not Civ, and less fun, but the developers are siding with Civ 5's sales numbers rather than the opinions of longtime series players. I think siding with the numbers is a mistake because a lot of Civ 5 players probably...

No, will wait and see if there is good feedback, especially from those that preferred earlier Civs to Civ V. Don't really want to reward the developers for stubbornly basically sticking with 1 UPT when so many of the series faithful players have been vocally against it for good reasons. Yet...

To be clear, I personally don't have any problem with SoD's. I think they give a sense of danger that makes the game fun, so I primarily still play Civ IV these days. I'm referring to the people that did have a problem with SoD's, which I always presumed was the reason they went to 1 UPT in...

The goal of the game should be to reward intelligence, not effort. The point is that when an entire stack dies, you won't stack as high. It requires more strategy to move your pieces around rather than just creating a stack of doom which of course is the problem at the source of this...

I've been noting this for years as well ever since it became apparent (at least for me) that the 1 UPT implementation was simply a pita and not fun to play. Players complain about 1 UPT... Civ 5 defenders in turn complain about SoD's.... then you bring up the fact that Civ 1 and Civ 2 had the...
