These mods are like applying lube to try and bash a square peg into a round hole. Well done obviously, according to many the peg is now in the hole, but Civ was never meant to be Panzer General as Jon Shafer wanted. Why are we still heading down this path!? How would you represent the...

Are you telling me that I didn't get my Civ 4 Diplomatic Victory? They were always a bugger to get. Answer my question from my previous post that I posed to you rather than rattling your sword! ;)

I think rastak was referring to me trying to speak on behalf of the older Civ community not liking Civ 5. I only meant that I had read through all the posts here, and my impression seemed to be that there are more people who disliked Civ 5 to some degree. This may be because I have a Civ 4...

Thanks. Ok, yes Jon Shafer did really say Panzer General because he was a huge fan and that is what he based Civ 5 on. So he created a game with hexes of something like 100 squared kms that only one unit can be on. This ruins the immersion for me completely. So older Civ players love Civ so...

I played a huge amount of Civ 1, some Civ 3 and a huge amount of Civ 4. I would rather play Civ 1 than Civ 5. Hoping that Civ 6 can heal the schism between 4 and 5 die hards and bring the series back on track. Jon Shafer admitted that he got Civ 5 wrong in a number of areas remember...
