I'm with you, Blac. It makes the whole road building thing seem much more realistic to me. Roads are expensive to maintain. Paving the whole continent just wasn't an option back in the day. Also, it encourages the player to make strategic decisions about road building. Just another layer...

Well, the Civ franchise has been around pretty much since home computing took off. I remember playing it way back in the day when I was young and edgy. I'm sure that the makers of Civ5 would love to attract flocks of new players to the series, but there are enough old timers around that we...

SoD were always one of my least favorite things about the gameplay of Civ. Be successful in installing them in your cities and you don't have to really think about the AI might try to do to you. Run across one and watch your army melt. The only strategy involved was cranking out units and...
