I've been a pretty avid Civ player since I was 13. I love this game. I've played more mod scenarios than I can count, and I've made mods for my own personal play. I've spent hundreds of hours over the years playing this game, and yet... I fell off a year ago when I discovered Europe Universalis...

I'm interested in dropping five bucks for a copy of Civ Rev, but none of my friends still play it. Anyone out there still do multiplayer for Civ Rev on the 360?

Stonehenge, Pyramids, most early wonders really. Ancient and Classical wonders slow you down, so I only build one or two max.

I've already tried that, along with creating a separate Steam library in my user documents. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both CivIV and BTS (they're separate on Steam). I followed almost every tip or trick the thread gave, but nothing seems to work. It recognizes the folder, but it says that...

Hey all. I've just got a new machine and wanted to start up the HOF GOTM, but can't seem to get the dang HOF mod to work. I've downloaded it, but every time I fire the game up, it says that it's not a valid mod destination, and it won't show up on my mods list in game. Anyone know where I've...

Be careful with diplomacy, AIs are notorious for their trickery. Just because they're pleased with you doesn't mean they still don't want to invade you ;) Don't underestimate, or overestimate :rolleyes:, the power of slavery. Don't underestimate the power of specialists. Beware of "death...

Do you think a rush for religion and a priest/prophet economy could work well for extra early cash/production for wonders and tech, which would lead into more money being available for the culture slider?

For the last few games, I've had a little bit of a sweet tooth for the Aztec empire. I don't know if it's the iron-less swordsmen or not, but I've always debated whether or not the sacrificial alter is worth building. I've found myself Oracle snatching Code of Laws in order to get it as early as...

I could honestly wait another five years before another Civ title released. I want Firaxis to take their time and craft a decent launch game (for once). I loved CivIV, but it wasn't until the first expansion that it went from good to great. A rushed, early 2015-16 release, or even a 2017...

Great survey mate!

Haha so it is :lol: I haven't seen that movie in a while actually...

I've been playing CivIV and V for years now, and a recent habit that I've come across in the last month or so is disabling all victory conditions. Sometimes I like to play games as if it's an alternate Earth, with an alternate history and I like to see how the future of my games turn out. I hate...

Sometimes I feel guilty re-rolling for good maps because I believe a good player can make any start fantastic. What most of these guys are rolling for are what I call "early bloomer" starts. While this is great most of the time, you can get away with "late blooming", especially with civs that...

Before I announce my decision, I would like to at least say something. I am disappointed in CivV's scenarios. In comparison with the scenarios shipped with CivIV, they are lackluster, unimaginative and quickly bore me. I do have to say that the American Civil War scenario is my favorite, but not...

Honestly, I came at this poll with a "this is going to be some good, non-serious fun". I doubt anybody on this forum is legitimately taking this poll seriously :lol: Let us have our fun :p
