    God damn this game is good

    i would hope that it looks better graphically, since major leaps and bounds have been made since the previous version and certainly since civ i came out. cod modern warfare was a great game graphically and gameplay wise for a fps, now we have mw2 which is graphically superior and has many...

    Disappointment - an unfortunate era for an otherwise remarkable franchise

    What you say is true, however, we do not know what the other 350k think about the game. I am not saying you would get 80% who dislike the game, like being claimed on these forums, however, this kind of game appeals to certain types of individuals (historically). Most of those historically have...

    New Opinion Demographic...Take 2

    Emp/Immortal player now on CIV IV BTS (embarrassed and frustrated haha, love it) Deity in all other versions of civ...... including ciV. It does not mean I win every game on Deity, but I win my share, too many for only a month into the game :( This game is rubbish in its current state, a huge...

    Is there a single Civ player who prefers trading posts to towns?

    I agree. Suburbs is a neat concept and would show the city "sprawling" horizontally which would also go hand in hand with the extended cultural radius in ciV of 3 tiles in every direction. gameplay and reality mixed in one:goodjob:

    Is there a single Civ player who prefers trading posts to towns?

    They are not the nicest looking graphic, but a TP IMO should have a chance to morph into a cottage/town/hamlet etc..... if only for realism, but also not all trading posts stayed trading posts their entire history. Some became powerful.

    what if they will release Civ V on consoles?

    Let them do it for console. The wait between turns will kill the game alone

    Best version of Civ EVER.

    One more turn factor Civ 1, never had a game do that to me before Best bang for my buck Civ 2, from SP to MP I played it more than any other game Biggest Disappointment Civ 3, first one of the series I was anticipating (got the others after they were released) Most in depth strategy would be...

    Interview with Dennis Shirk on Front Towards Gamer

    At least you had to build the axe's to win, now it takes 3 horses and wow, game over. You didn't have to go to war if your diplomacy was just right, a tough thing to do, in this game, you virtually HAVE to go to war. Cottages had to grow 50 turns, unlike tradepost spam on EVERY TILE the...

    Why do people take it personally?

    All I can say, and I think I can say this for the majority of us here is "I hope you are correct sir!" glad we could find common ground, gotta jet to the forest with my dog, look forward to the next head to head

    Why do people take it personally?

    I agree with all your saying, but can't help feel that designers owe it to gamers to release things honestly and with their best efforts put forth. It appears evident that the game was rushed, and in order to still make sales targets we weren't really told that the game was this flawed until...

    Why do people take it personally?

    No I love this little ability, I think made easier b/c tile yields have a lot less variability than in previous releases. I wish it had been in previous ones as well, I mean, you never took your worker off a whale in Civ 2 :goodjob: admittedly moving 100 engineers in civ 2 was tedious, but...

    Why do people take it personally?

    Really think its a reboot? Was Civ IV the end of that era, to me it seemed as if there was so much more that could have been done. Am I the only one who likes micromanagement?

    Why do people take it personally?

    I totally hear what you're saying. On the flip side, there are many fanboys who are just so blinded by the newness that they cannot even see past the flaws. so there is two sides :) Speaking out either for or against is important, the key is to do it constructively and without personal...

    Why do people take it personally?

    See this is the kind of discussion I like. Someone who can admit that even their side of the coin is flawed. I really appreciate that because for one, its more civil, and two it actually helps us find common ground with the same goal in mind. I remember the outrage over Civ IV as well. I...
