I would go so far as to say it's the only Civ game worth buying in 2022.

I'm curious as to how much character traits/archetypes affect how they play. I played a game recently where a foreign ruler demanded I convert to their religion or face war and investigation of this character showed they were neither a zealot nor pious. What made them force me to convert? Why do...

I'm slightly surprised to see Old World sitting at a disappointing "mixed" rating on Steam, with only 67% of reviews being positive recently. A quick glance at some of the reviews highlights the following issues: - The game is RNG heavy and games can be won or lost through a random event. - AI...

Civ IV is one of the best empire building games ever released and few games in the 4X genre have come to rival it. Whilst I regard Civ V as a fair game in its own right, it strayed too far away from the Civ IV formula for my liking and never got over the fundamental problems that 1UPT...

Buildings in Civ IV seem rather polarising - some (granary) are must-haves whilst others (bomb shelters) are basically worthless. I'm always slightly disheartened to read from advanced players that "buildings are pointless" and very rarely, if ever, worth building. Is that the sign of a...

You called me a liar for suggesting that people called the mechanic OP. I proved you wrong, now you're backpeddling. "Not even a sniff of truth" you said, which would imply I totally fabricated it. The links prove otherwise. I've had a more stimulating conversation with my dog whilst picking...

:lol: ok dude. Since I don't like to be called a liar, take a look through this thread where you can see actual, other, real-life people calling it OP. Lots of them. https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/255456/snikch-has-faction-deleter Here's another one...

Very, very little evidence suggesting asymptomatic transmission is even a thing. Doomers hold on to it because it justifies their ridiculous lockdown responses to this virus.

No need to get so butthurt over a computer game. Regarding the bold part, not true. Practically everyone agreed that it was overpowered, because it clearly is. The defenders of the mechanic just said, "don't use it then" as a defence. Which is perfectly valid; you can just not use it. That...

You're confusing balance with difficulty, and comparing apples to oranges. If you follow the Warhammer series of games, there was recently a huge discussion around Snikch and his "delete-a-faction" ability, with many arguing that it is, in fact, totally overpowered. Fans are clamouring for ways...

My sympathies.

Well exactly, why not? I'm not the one arguing that balance isn't necessary. As long as it's "fun", stick whatever you like into the game. Firaxis seem to be doing just that.

Field cannons in the year 325AD and it's "totally awesome." How Civilization has fallen. If it's supposed to be fun, not balanced, why not allow our slingers to launch nuclear warheads at our foes? Why not give our medieval swordsmen vibranium shields so they can save the world like Captain...

Not sure what that has to do with my point that the NFP is a poor joke. If you want to go by reviews, the NFP is currently sitting at a comparitively poor 59% "mixed" score on Steam. Things get even worse if we look at features of the pack individually; Maya and Gran Columbia currently sitting...

And you know this how? Just because we post on a forum, we're worlds apart from the "typical" Civ VI player? It's getting to the point now I think you take issue with my posts just on principle...

The entire NFP is one sorry joke. If the devs did their homework and surveyed their audience they'd know what people wanted from further Civ VI expansions. And it definitely wasn't meteor strikes, ancient vampires or Hercules building districts.

I can't say too much since I never play marathon, but warfare generally becomes more viable and easier the slower the game speed. You have more time with your units and they stillbl move at the same speed, making rushes a lot more viable.

Play Civ IV, the last good Civ game. :)

Unfortunately, reality doesn't operate the way you think it does. Viruses gonna virus and spread. You want to be fat and increase your chance of complications; that's your problem. Perhaps you should subject yourself to a four-week McDonalds Lockdown just to 'flatten the curves.' I'm not...
