Amen. It's really fun in Old World. Scale is everything! Also, the units have unique abilities which make combined arms much more important compared to Civ.

That's certainly a big part of it. Another big part is that production is split over multiple resources which makes you think harder on what you need, though that can also be the first time playing. Anticipating needs from growing cities is something you kinda find out while playing. I hope...

I bought it a while ago, but only recently really set down to play it. I loved Civ4 and think Civ5 and 6, while fun, somehow failed to capture what made civ1-4 such great games. I find myself playing Civ5 and 6 on autopilot. Now I'm hooked on Old World, though admittedly haven't played that...

Great, that worked, thanks!

Hi, Quick question: I have better bat ai installed so I don't have to install each mod individually. Only thing is, I would like to disable the blue marble part of the mod. Can anyone explain how I do this?

Hi all, If I have the switch and pc version, can I play hot seat through cloud saving? Or the new play by cloud? Thanks.

Hi, If I have the switch and pc version, can I play hot seat through cloud saving? Or even the new version of play by email (I believe the save game is shared through cloud functionality in this case)?

I saw the shadow games, maybe I should read up on that. I tried watching let's play video's but I'm more of a reader. I have played the game extensively and know basic strategies, such as cottage/specialist/hybrid economy, but it's been so long since I've played that I should read up on them. I...

Admittedly, there was only room for 5 cities before running into my neighbours, and I haven't been at war (just started one).

Thanks for the tips, I'll try that.

I have blue marble enabled (in fact, I have Better Bat AI), and that helps. Maybe I should spend more time on my turns. Yesterday evening I played 300 turns in a few hours (admittedly, a tiny map with 3 other civ's so a game is still quick). I find I force myself to early rush with axemen, but...

Hi, I've been playing civilization since the first game. Last week I played a game of civ6. I really liked the game, but I find the AI too simplistic. So I'm trying to get back into civ 4. I'm slowly coming to grasps with its mechanics again (especially early expansion and city maintanance)...

Thanks for the replies! I’ll experiment a few games but 8-10 cities sounds good!

Hello all, One thing I really don't like about Civ5 was the fact that the optimal strategy is to build only a few cities. VP seems to solve this but I find that I want to plop down cities everywhere, also I like my empire to fill the map and dislike borders not touching (either with my own...

Looking forward to it! Currently, due to the update, playing without any mods. On epic on which production is fine, but research still way too fast.
