In the IGN article, did anyone notice the reporter's comment, that despite the announcement, "it's likely that the new Civilisation is still years away"

Yes, but I only played Civ 3 and 4. Civ IV is still the best in the series, and then V and VI made it so there is almost no need to build any naval ships.

I have never liked the embarkation feature. Civ IV had it best, with a real navy strategy. You had to plan ahead, with your transports, having enough of them and moved to the right locations. Plus, you had to have warships to protect them, or to attack opposing navies. The AI did a great job...

I started with Civ III, and had a great time with it, despite its flaws. I totally loved Civ IV and played it to death. Sitting here, I can't think of any complaints I had about it, it was that good. When V came out, I was excited at first, but soon lost interest, and only played a few games...

What do you think of Old World? Does it compare to Civ IV or VI?

I started with Civ III, and loved it except for the way corruption, and units like catapults and cannon worked. Civ III had the best music in the series, in my opinion. Cool that you can find it all on Youtube. (246) Civilization III Music - MidNAFull - YouTube (246) Civilization III Music -...

This mod was never able to get the AI to stack.

I don't have GS, but am wondering how railroads work, like the 1 iron and 1 coal per tile? Are the resources consumed, or does it just mean that only 1 tile can be railroaded per pair of resources in a turn?

How often would you still be playing a game when it becomes available? And if you are still in a game then, the outcome is probably inevitable, so perhaps it could alleviate some boredom until that last turn ending the game.

I've always wondered that when you create a new game for only certain victory conditions, does the AI still go for all, or does it narrow it's focus to the ones you chose?

Well, you won't be buying it then. What do you mean there is nothing you can do to stop civs who attack city states? Why can't you march your own troops up there to defend them?

At this point in the game, investing in an expensive settler and building a city from scratch in the middle of a mountain range, just so I can have a trader build a road, doesn't seem worth it. A route over sea doesn't build me a road over land.

I have several cities on a continent, one city a good distance from the others. For whatever reason, traders will not go there from other cities, and will not leave from it, saying "No trade routes exist..." Why is that? How else to I get a road to and from this city? I know, use a Military...

Though I haven't had a chance to play the game recently, that's awesome if you fixed this. Thanks for doing it!

I loved Civ IV and played it to death. I only played a couple games of V, then went back to IV. VI is very different with a lot of new concepts, so for that reason it is worth trying out. I like the game, but after awhile the 1UPT becomes a drag. The movement system is also a slog, and...
