I'm currently going achievement hunting, but once I'm done I think I'll probably put the game away for a while. There's some interesting ideas there, but there's also a lot of frustration.

I just had a game as Spain where a barbarian camp was spamming horsemen & horse archers without any horses nearby. It was a coastal barbarian camp, and the only nearby resource that would come close was sheep. Now, I did have a barbarian camp earlier in the start of the game start near horses...

Civ4 remains my favorite GOAT. Civ5 wasn't my game. There are too many reasons to list here, but I found it both easy and frustrating. I am enjoying Civ6 so far, but I think that's because I've had to time to come to terms with Civ5. The base game is already better than Civ5. There are...

Old Civ4 player making a brief return for this game. I might hang around if this game really gets its hooks into me, unlike the last game. (I am glad that so many people did enjoy Civ5, just in case anyone feels slighted by me saying that. Just wasn't my thing.) Thoughts so far: Fog of war...

I just bought all the Civ5 DLC leaders with the recent Steam sale. Well, except Babylon, because I was one of the people who pre-ordered Civ5. Originally I gave up on Civ5 after putting 100+ hours into it and found it lacking. I understand that the game has continued to be improved and...

Easy to learn, hard to master. I noticed that wasn't put down as an option. Weird. :think: Seriously, I had two roommates who never play video games - and I don't mean they rarely play, but as in they've never owned a video game system, ever - pick up Civ4 from watching me play it. It...

Wow. Thread necro. Sorry, rsadiwala95, but Neal has effectively been MIA for almost 9 months now. Thinking he just moved on, though some of us have apparently kept their thread subscriptions (*cough cough*) just in case he returns.

Anyone know why the word Romance has come to be related to love? What little research I could find has shown that it first came to mean "court as a lover" as recently as 1942, and only came to mean a "love affair" circa 1916. All I got were dates, and not context. :think: Though with those...

Understandable. Take your time. Still subscribed.

Haven't visited the Civ5 forums in a long time, so I'm late to the discussion. First of all, great read, Sullla. I don't agree with all of it, but there are a lot of good ideas there. Secondly, I get the impression that a lot of people here haven't played many strategy games outside of the...

Ah, thanks. That would explain a lot. Seems kind of odd the Lanun aren't more heavily weighted towards OO, as in my religious game they had the Holy City and were easy to convert and never switched back. Also, Emptiness, I know what you mean about a Civ switching back 'n' forth. (From...

Ah, that explains the hell terrain. The only time I've purposely tried to spread it has been with Sheiam, which I rarely play. I just gave in this game and switched to summon them. Lost my heroes, but they came back when I returned to RoK via Order (to return to Good alignment). So anyone...

Just a few questions that I've been curious about and have come up in my last few games: 1) How does Hell Terrain start? For my latest game I'm playing Luchuirp with the intention of getting the AC to 100. I found the Ashen Vail religion, but stuck with RoK for diplo and keeping my slider at...

Someone has to build the hardware. ;)

I have to agree with this. The only reason to get the Great Wall would be for roleplay reasons.
