I miss Civ2 Gold when not just making custom maps but making complete overhaul mods was accessible even to non-modders---even a child (like me at the time) could do it.

MASHONA - EXPLORATION AGE CIVILIZATION During the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period, the Shona people of southern Africa (plural: Mashona) built many cities with high stone walls. The greatest of these was Great Zimbabwe. Using the region's rich gold supplies, they were able to trade...

This reminds me of Civilization 2: Test of Time, and I would be 100% in favor of bringing that back.

A Middle Earth mod could make good use of the Age system. Go Dorthonion->Numenor->Gondor as Beren. Or be ahistorical and go Doriath->Khazad-dum->Dorwinion as Sam Gamgee.

That tablet was probably included because it became a bit of a meme for how much it sounded like a modern customer complain.

Yes. I like how Age of Empires 2 does it with the different civilizations---the UI differences are subtle, but still distinctive.

I could see a more subtle difference between ages (e.g., fonts or background textures), but certainly not wacky cursors.

Technically, it is on a mountain, since that's what an island is. A mostly-submerged mountain, but still...

"One Step Forward, Two Steps Backwards" Much like the release versions of V and VI. That's why I have hope that most of the flaws will be remedied in a year or two.

I've wanted this for a while now. As someone who cares a lot about colors, I remember liking Egypt's gameplay in V but I couldn't bear looking at that magenta-on-yellow for hours on end. I was thrilled when the jersey system released in VI, and one of the first things I did was download a mod...

Spiffing Brit's video showed that the penalty caps at -35. I don't know if they've changed that, but if they haven't, you can go infinite if you can manage an empire-wide -35 happiness. I suspect that's possible with the right build, but it's not the sort of thing you can do on an ordinary...

For me, the peak was Civ II Gold with the sci-fi and fantasy scenario pack, but I’m sure a lot of that is nostalgia. I still really like the whole “layer” idea from the scenarios and would like to see an updated version in a modern Civ game.
