Civ 4 is terrible.

1. Bad graphics. Civ 4 looks like it was made during the Bush years. The units are ugly, the terrain is all messed up looking, and the interface is nausea inducing.
2. Squares. The square tiles are lame. I want to play a strategy game, not Sid Mieir Chess.
3. Stacking Units. I'm supposed to believe 400 tanks are piled up on top of each other all the way to the moon?
4. Religion. It doesn't do anything as all religions have the same generic abilities. Boring.
5. Health. Oh fun, micromanaging city sanitation.
6. Road spam.
7. Vassal states. Blah.
 
1. You are living in a real world
2. If You are good at chess why don't You play it ?
3. I do not believe You are good at chess :D I can have You any day any how , You R lame ! xD
4. Why vent off You frustration here ?
5. Do not worry Civ is a game and You are angry :D You will be better tommorow , don't sweat it ;P

1. Gayish reason. Some people still plays older generations X-Com and myself still play the first HOMM game and the second. Those who values graphics over other specs don't understand a game's true value. And especially more gayish because it's far from the ugliest possible. Atari games are ugly, those ARE.

2. Someone tried (PieceOfMind user)to convert squared into hexes. He stopped due to its complexity and CiV was almost out and settled in stone to have hexes.

3. Oh...imagination, I'm calling you. Man, those tiles are supposed to represent large areas.

4. Oh, perhaps there is some mod allowing variety. Search bar is your friend, you punk!

5. Oh, mkay. What about it? I have no idea what you're talking about. I never felt sanitation problems THAT compelling. Or forcing huge micromanagements. You know, each sick face is only one less food.

6. Road spam. :huh: What the hell, you are even more lower than noble player. You are not forced to spam roads.

7. I admit vassals state are pretty messy often, but knowing the mechanics help avoiding undesirable results.

You know what, after reading that, just go to CiV.
This is the worst argumentative list I've ever seen. This is not a list of arguments, but lame "my apple tastes better than your orange!" :p

If you mean the second president Bush, the it was. Civ 4 was released in 2005.
 
Dudes ! Don't sweat it :D It's awwright :P Dude does not like Civ 4 and he is like "oh my god it's " and all alike xD Why he is not liking it is not my deal anyhow but I like to throw in my 2 cents :D He's just like immature puppy begging for "hear me dud's : "Civ 4 is not cool" " But he is wring posting it here and we know it , we do not need hard code (Tachy) to prove it. I think he is just lame and he does not even know how to play chess haha xD
 
Ha! A Civ 5 lover come to the Civ IV forums to get owned :lol:

Graphics over flexibility? There are much flaws in civ5 than civ4 you know, you just don't want to accept it. You're a gay and ugly. And I mean it. :huh:

I'm pretty sure he only plays ciV on "settler" difficulty.:p

No wai there should be Kawaii difficulty :lol:
 
A game made during the Bush years looks like it was made during the Bush years. Well I'm convinced!

Oh oh! Let me try!

1. Civ IV UI > Civ V UI. Reasons: More consistently accurate (proven), fewer inputs required to do the same things (proven), more hotkeys available (proven).
2. Hexes are better than squares. However, hexes in a game that doesn't work is not better than squares in a game that works somewhat better
3. How large do you think a tile is? I didn't know civs built 50-500 or whatever mile wide tanks. Tanks larger than cities...interesting.
4. Religious civics are pretty comparable to the effects you get in civ V with your religious choices. Civ V does not necessitate using actual religions, which allows them to be different at the fundamental level.
5. You want a less complex game?
6. Road spam before late mid-game is trashy in civ IV. However, it adds an element of defender advantage. Why does civ V nerf this advantage? Did firaxis forget the opportunity cost concept and start thinking everything needed actual costs?
7. Vassal stats and city states are both terribly balanced mechanics that COULD have been good.

Why civ V sucks:

1. Snails pace
2. Command lag
3. Weak counter-unit dynamic
4. Weaker promotion choice dynamic
5. UI is horrid, taking up large portions of the screen but forcing extra inputs
6. ICS nerfed to the point that vertical is consistently stronger (weak balance)

I'd add MP, but they did eventually get it working...a year after release and multiple DLC later. About that UI and engine though...

"Gayish"? "Gay and ugly?"
Don't feed the trolls.

I'm disappointed. The OP commenting is so borderline laughable I thought (S)HE was the troll just trolling people loving CIV4 here for its amusements. Sparkling rage...on our side and I fain wished to go in. Since 2007, that user has a profile, (s)he must by now CIV is the most loved game of the franchise.

I'm not a troll, I'm an innocent user who just clackles.
See my ultra boring thread in S&T and this will prove I'm not a troll. A troll is like ZZZ.
 
:popcorn:

Okay, the pool on when this thread gets locked is now at 50:gold:. My bet is by 2200 CST.
 
^^^I swear I was just going to post something similar

Feed the Triple Z!!!
 
Latest news: The OP never passed the level CiV and CIV4 modding forum section. It smells burnt trolls here.
