My totally unbiased and definitely not paid for by 2k review

My point simply was that I don't think "dumbing down" was the problem Civ5 has. I agree more with another posters analysis of the subject, that Civilization 5 was built from a Board Game style game, not a God Simulator style game. While this has made Civilization 3 fans (who are completely mad, IMHO) happy, it has alienated the large part of the core fanbase.

Are you saying that people who loved CIV III , also love CIV 5 ? Enlight me, because i surely do not like CIV 5, and loved to play CIV III. More then IV

(for one thing; i cound not care less, if i see 1, 3 or now 12 people in a unit's animation; it only makes the map lookin more chaotic)

He meant that the people that defended that managing 400 small citiies packed together with 6-8 pop each and that stayed in civ III because for them civ IV was "mini Civ" ( exact quote ) will surely love the way civ V ( doesn't ) limit the number of cities ... or those that prefered a rather psycotic AI instead of one that , with all the shortcomings it has, atleast it has reasonable and easy to understand reasons for their actions... I'm pretty sure he didn't meant everyone that liked civ III, just the heavy civ III fanboys that dissed and diss of civ IV.

Oh, the TT AI was quite entertaining indeed You should try OpenTT , the AI there is a little more reasonable.
