How would you improve Civ 5?

[rkelle7]

To all Civilization 3 fans. How would you improve Civilization 5 (mainly mulitiplayer) so that you would switch from Civilization 3 to Civilization 5?

Here is a thread to post your comments or please post in this thread and I will condense and place into the thread here:

Just my personal opinion, but.....

Had I been the creator(s) of C3C, I would have concentrated on improving the AI for CIV and V to a level far exceeding what they have come up with. I know, I've heard all the whining about how difficult it can be to tweak the AI's intelligence. It's soooo difficult.

I don't want to hear it. They had what? 9-10 years? Horrible, that Civ V should look like candy to draw in the new people, but fall apart in their hands because of dumb gameplay.

It's bad enough the Civilization franchise ripped off the whole idea from Empire II. But you'd think they would have taken their masterpiece (replica or not) to a level worthy of being compared to C3C. All that time wasted. For what? A few pennies? Bravo.

Answer: rework the AI decision making process. Develop it with new ideas that are GAME related. Make the AI act like Artificial Intelligence. Then it might be worth playing. Maybe.
