They are a good feature from a design point of view. Allowed you to specialize cities for unit Production, and made wide vs tall a closer call decision.

Well it depends. In terms of progression as a series, as a successor to Civ4 and in terms of Player vs AI the game is certainly only average. The Multiplayer is quite good, if you consider the game more of a board game and in terms of balance, alltough there is still A LOT of unbalanced things...

That might very well be, but i paid less than half of what i paid for BE and right now i like it more. Unless they release a lot of free content im not going to buy an expansion for BE.

On the plus side i was so angry at myself for buying this game after playing it for a few hours that i went and bought Endless Legend, a game that i would never even have considered if BE would have been decent. Basically, we KNEW what we would get, we knew it. There was enough material out...

If the high traderoute yields are intentional, you would think that they had the whole game balanced around it. But if you build all traderoutes quickly, you will run into the same problem over and over again: nothing to build, no way to fail. this makes it pretty clear that the game wasnt even...

Meh i stopped playing too. Not gonna lie i think the game is pretty bad. I care a lot about balance and gameflow because i only play multiplayer and the game just isnt there. It will probably take a long time to get fixed, if at all. Aside from that im pretty pissed that they wanted full price...

If you didnt like Civ5 then definitely no. Technically Civ5 could still be A LOT better, but firaxis is probably finished with the game now. That said, Civ5 with both expansions is pretty good (well the second didnt really add much, but the first was worth its money), there is almost no...

You can see everything (even science per turn) about other players in diplomacy menu by just clicking on their city. Doesnt mean its enough. The main point of the demography was seeing who was leading in what and who was building military in multiplayer, its very important in Civ5 for that...

I have 1500hours civ5 multiplayer and i can say that most of the wonders are exeptionally well balanced both in effect and in position of the tech tree and the time you can unlock them. The wonder balance and effects is seriously wonderful aside from some odd ones (great wall and statue of...

But thats not what would happen in multiplayer. the weaker defending player would lose all his traderoutes and the attacker would lose none, making the defender lose the game immidiately. And thats not counting the one player who started on an island away from everybody who would just end up...

Even if they werent overpowered they are problematic. As a gameplay element they are very questionable. Aside from the whole managing 20+ traderoutes nightmare, relying on them as a core element for everything is bad design cause they themselves are a bad design element. And dont even get me...

Im pretty disappointed to be honest. The voice acting and writing is really bad compared to Alpha Centauri, or even Civ5. It feels so cheap. To me 90% of the buildings felt useless, and 95% of the wonders. The only thing that matters are traderoutes and that sucks. I cannot see any kind of...

General stealing land with citadels is pretty much a fail design. They shouldnt be able to steal land with it, their offensive capability should be their leader aura, and their defensive capability their citadel in friendly land. If anything the great merchants or artists etc should be able...

Artillery is simply overpowered thats the problem. The easiest fix is to remove their indirect fire and introduce another unit later in the tree that has it. Having indirect fire and Range 3 all at once over the previous unit is just too much. What should be done with siege units is to give...

Good luck trying to stop a pillaging horseman when you cant move first, he can just move from tile to tile and heal himself indefinitely while gaining gold and killing your economy if you cant kill him before he moves. Pillaging is already borderline broken in hybrid mode, because the heal...
