Imbalance leads to boredom.

Master of Orion 2 was very nice, although the AI really sucked bad and combat could become tedious, even if crafting ships was a part I liked. I didn't really like 3, but I have to admit I didn't play it much. MoO2 made me dream, especially the technologies; I mean, it's a condensed pack of all...

Hi Derpy, Why I see myself an achiever ? You originally defined achievers as "[guys that] want to keep doing better and better at this game", followed by some so-called psy interpretation, and that's it. So I can't be wrong with arguing about "doing better" in my reply, using your own...

Well, to the OP, I want to say I discovered Civ with Civ5. Then I tried Civ4 and almost never went back to Civ5 (I gave it a few other tries when new patches came out, but they were'nt enough to give me the enjoyment I lacked). When I first went from 5 to 4, I thought that 1upt was great and...

Man, post #20 is top 5 of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. First, let us summarize it in a funny, but accurate way : "There are 2 types of people. The stupid meaningless autists on a side, trying to give meaning to their lives. The sensitive hedonists, who seek wisdom in history, on...

Hey, a lot of you posters are referring to some AI personality (this one will trade tech, this one will mass units, this one will backstab...). I find myself in trouble with diplomacy and even after many games it seems I haven't found any consistent pattern for AI behaviours, except for some...

I'm not sure that production costs of video games increased so greatly compared to older games as to need to invent the money-sucking DLC concept. I just think the big machine just found a new way to make easy cash. But I have to admit it's purely hypothetical as I have no clue about production...

Agreed. It was time someone says the whole DLC concept is evil. Should we gamers accept that (sadly it's done), we will just get more expensive games with less content as a result.

Thanks. I'll try that a bit later, as I was playing the standard C4 and just got BTS. Damn, this expansion is a whole new game, and it just makes my previous feelings about C5's emptiness worse !

@Jay Yeah, I completly stopped playing C5. I first just wanted to give a try to C4, having read all those complaints on this forum and willing to make my own view. It took some hours but I finally got hooked by C4, more than C5. There are two sets of reasons for this, the first (but the one...

Yeah, 1 upt is great when compared to Civ4, but it's useless for now cause the AI don't get it at all. Quantified resources seemed to me a great idea too, but after a while I have to admit that I NEVER lacked any of them, so quantified or not just made no difference. I came to Civ with Civ5, so...

Totally agree with that. I find myself just founding 1 to 3 cities in every game and warmongering, gettin a lot a puppets. They generate high amounts of science, allowing for science victory, the low number of founded cities and the medium culture generation of the puppets is still very good...

After reading a ton of Civ5 "hatred" posts (or, more accuratly, saddened posts) on this forum I just wanted to share my own experience. I'm new to the Civilization franchise and began right after Civ5's release, playing it for over 150 hours. Then after reading a lot here I started playing Civ4...
