I partially agree with you. I am just in my confused stage on that one lol. I mean, yeah at the time I found it annoying, but now I find myself longing for it instead of the alternative. I also loved having a very strong core of cities surrounding my capital. My super-production centre so to...

But thats not entirely true. If you played as a democracy going for a space win, then you would benefit from closing yourself off and devoting more resources to science once your kingdom reached a certain size. This was even more true if you were on a separate continent since anything you would...

I cant speak for Civ 4 beause I really hated that game. If it was quite small it certainly would in Civ 5, but the problem is that Civ 5, as far as I can tell, is completely skewed against world conquest - at least on the huge maps (which is all I play). So imo, Civ 3 was better in its ability...

In a world with a dozen or so players, many of which get eliminated or beaten into a corner, then yes, the land area of the USA is not all that much. The argument was that Civ 3 was all about continuous expansion and my point was that it was very possible to win games against much larger...

I dont fully agree with some of the ways Civ 3 was characterised. Yes, you got an advantage from expanding (which is good), but it had a price. You could easily make kingdoms of modest sizes running on democracy and go for a space win. On a huge map, an area about the size of North America (or...

Well I absolutely hated Civ 4. Others have listed some complaints to which (for me) I can add, it never felt like Civ. Now, Civ5 seems slightly better. Thats about all I can give it. But... the animations tire me out to no end, as does the sluggishness with which this super computer I am...

Well, I am ok with us not being 100% on the same page. Its great that you can get proper sized maps. I guess I never played it long enough to find out. In regards to Civ 2- Civ 3, I guess its a matter of perception. I felt a familiarity with the game despite the changes. It felt like a...

"The map certainly covers the whole world" Unless your screenshot is incomplete, North America is not there right? Neither is most of South America. Either way the map that came with Civ 4 was not the whole world. As for Europe, I am sure I exaggerated the 4 city thing. My apologies...

I was just surfing along and came accross this thread. Since it was ressurected not long ago I thought I might voice my opinion. First of all I find it insulting that people imply that those who dont like it suck at the game. What about if we just dont like the game itself? Everything about...
