Dominions 3 is an awesome, deep TBS game. Bad graphics but the gameplay is great. Wonderful online multiplayer community for really great games, but the AI is really pretty solid and will be fun to play against for a good while. The fact that the low-budget Dominions 3 has decent AI despite...

The problem with the tech tree isn't so much that it is illogical but that it offers no meaningful choices - you basically have to just progress from left to right with everything in order to advance. This is not interesting. It is one of many places in the game where there is a complete...

I just want to bump my own thread because all of the complaints still apply after the patch, it's just totally sad.

I agree with most of Sulla's points, although I don't agree with blaming 1UPT. I think a decently balanced game could have included that. But I think he actually fails to emphasize two additional problems with the game that are just as serious as those he mentions: 1) The problem with global...

If they got rid of workers, then you'd really be pushing "Next Turn" and doing absolutely nothing. And yeah, the main reason the workers suck right now is (1) the terrain and improvements are crap and poorly balanced, and (2) the AI produces way too many workers and absolutely destroy game speed.

This is an interesting (and probably common) retort to some of my criticisms, so I want to respond. ddd123 is right that many of my complaints about Civ V include the fact that the rules do not "make sense" or correlate to anything real about history, civilization development or reality in...

Hi - new to forums. I have played Civ since the very first version nearly 20 years ago, but I did not play Civ IV and this is my first return. Civ V is an okay game. I really hated the huge military stacks and so that change is welcome, and I like the graphics and hexes. The AI was always...
