Differences between DS and xbox360

[Blastoid]

Does anyone know if there are any differences (other than Graphics) between the DS and the xbox360 versions? I have the DS one and wasnt sure if it is worth it to get the 360 version.

Thanks

The DS doesn't have a civilopedia, trophy room or hall of glory. Also rangers cost no pop points if a barbarian attacks.9 glitch methinks)

Militia do cost pop points, unless the city in question is your capital and it is founded right next to a barbarian hut.

Thanks, actually I found this info browsing around the forum. I rented the 360 version and it is quite nice, I might just buy it... I'll keep playing the DS ver for road trips etc.

The ds doesnt feel right to me, not saying its bad just its loses the aspect the cosnole version has!

I agree, now that I own both DS and 360 versions. The 360 seems to be much smoother and easier to use. But I cannot knock the DS, great for on-the-road games of civ

There's a lot of bugs, I find. I don't know if this is an actual problem with the DS version, but when I start with India, (begin the game with access to all resources) I don't get the full bonuses (like 2 food from a Whale when I should be getting 4). I think there might be a handicap with the Indian trait on Deity, which is preventing me from benefitting from the whole resource until I discover the tech.

Also, I once started with game with 83541061 gold (or something close to that). I think the digits are right.

not a bug you are capped in each era you can only get a bonus equal to the era number

That's what I thought. They only let you some of it until you get to the Era.
