    Old timer's, what are your thoughts so far?

    I'm an old Civ/Civ II player. I've been watching lots of streams of Civ6 but I just can't my interest up for the game. I don't feel any hype. It doesn't feel like a Civ-game, to me. I don't get the same feeling as Civ/Civ II/Civ III or Civ IV. Maybe it is different when you play it, maybe it...

    First Look: Sumeria

    Man, Gilga has ruined so many of my Civ4 games. I don't know if I dare to buy another game which he is in, I don't trust him at all.

    Do you think you could beat civ6 on Diety right now?

    I doubt I could beat it instantly but if I was given a few tries to get the hang of it I'm sure I could do it, unless that AI has improved a ton from Civ5 and that it can handle 1UPT (which it couldn't in Civ5). I have beaten Diety in all other Civ games which I have tried to do it and I beat it...

    Civ Vets, what do you think?

    Been playing since the orginal Civ. I think Civ VI looks interesting as a game but I also feel like the Civ-franchise has drifted away from many of the things I liked in the older Civ-games, Civ5 was the first (huge) step and Civ VI hasn't shown me enough to get my "Civ hype" back. I will try...

    Old timer's, what are your thoughts so far?

    I've played since Civ I. CivI to Civ4 are some of my favorite games of all time (maybe not CivIII, but the others for sure). I think Civ6 looks quite good, I don't like that it seems to be based on Civ5 instead of the classic Civ-style though. I feel quite excited but I'm also prepared to...

    Do you prefer Civ IV's traits or Civ V's unique abilities and what'd you prefer in VI

    What I liked about Civ4s system was that you could play most, if not all, Civs the way you wanted or had to depending on your starting location. You, almost, never had to simply restart the game because you "got the wrong leader". When I have played Civ5 I often feel forced to play a certain way...

    Is Civilization forever dead?

    It depends on what you mean with dead and also what you mean with Civlization. The oldschool Civlization that many of us grew up with during the 90's and fell in love with is probably as good as dead. The new simplified-Civ5ish-catertothemasses-type of Civlization is alive and kicking though. I...

    CIV6 Civs and Leaders

    The Zulu, and Shaka, are very iconic for the Civilization-franchise and that's why they should be in Civ6, just like they have been in all other Civ games. Sure, they might not be very famous to non-"Civers" or a large/noticeable empire IRL but they have a place in most Civ-gamers hearts...

    CIV6 Civs and Leaders

    I hope we get to see the following Civs (at least): America Arabia Aztec Babylon Carthage Celts China Dutch Egypt England France Germany Greece India Japan Mongolia Native American (of some sort) Ottoman Persia Portugal Rome Russia Spain Vikings Zulu Then they can...

    Which darkhorses do you want?

    I haven't read the whole thread but I get pissed off when I see people not wanting Zulu in the game. They are a core piece of the Civ-franchise, it would be like removing Voldemort from Harry Potter.

    Initial Reactions

    Why couldn't they just do a new Civ4, upgraded the graphics, add some new stuff and some of the few good things from Civ5 and then released the game? It would have been awesome. :crazyeye:

    What is your overall *goal* when playing Civ 4?

    I play to win, which results in me trying to improve while I play but I'm doing my best to build a Civ that I like while doing so. I rarely do the normal "cheesy" rushes to conquer most of the world like HA-rush or Elepults, I simply don't enjoy that way of winning a game and it gets boring...

    So Which Wonders Have You Seen IRL?

    Broadway Hollywood Notre Dame The Apolistic Palace The Eiffel Tower The Hagia Sophia The Parthenon The Sistine Chapel The Statue of Liberty The United Nations Versailles I really want to see the Pyramids and the Great Wall, I'm very jealous at you people that have seen them. :(

    Civ IV vs Civ 1,2,3

    It depends on who you ask, I have a few friends of mine who had never played Civ before Civ V and they tried Civ IV and didn't like it at all, they prefer Civ V over it. I base my rankings is mostly based on how much I enjoyed the game, which makes it very easy to put Civ II and Civ IV first...

    Rising from Noble to Emperor

    I think it depends on what you mean as basics. To me basics are facts about the game such as how maintence works, what kind of strength/weaknesses the leaders have, how commerce works, which buildings that are important etc. I think having a plan comes down to knowing how things works, which...
