Hey, I'm new to the forum, so I thought I should give a little introduction. Firstly, I apologize if I am in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where exactly to post this. I used to massively enjoy Civ III, but it seems I lost the CD. My options now are Civ IV and Revolution. I have a PS3, a 360, and a PC that according to some site runs the Civ IV halfway between recommended and really fast.
I was wondering what you all thought I should buy between the latest console and PC games. Although the console version would have much better graphics, that doesn't matter to me at all. As a result, I'm stuck deciding primarily on gameplay. I've played both the Civ IV demo and Rev demo. I loved the Rev one but it can get old quick, while IV I liked at first and still like now.
I understand IV is much more complex than Rev, ie it has more in the tech tree, etc. Also it has user mods. This has me leaning towards IV. My only concern is that the game might be too complicated and could serve just to confuse/piss me off. I'm hoping this isn't the case. Price also factors into the equation. I have 60$, so I can either get Civ IV and vanilla Oblivion, or just Civ Rev. Which would be the better option?
The one thing that I disliked about the Rev demo was the fact that, even on warlord, I was absolutely lightyears ahead of the competition. Like, for instance, today I nuked the Zulu's only city, than ran in and pissed everyone off with my submarine. Also, I hate the fact that I can't change the size of the map or edit it at all. If the actual size of the maps is anywhere near as small as they are in the demo I am definitely not buying the game.
Thank you for the input, and I look forward to having a great time on this forum. (Nice forum by the way, good job mods, admin(s), fellow users, and the occasional Firaxis employee)
