Well after finally getting the game to run decently on a large map it seems I am losing interest in CIV. I have had the game for 1 month + and the game has already become boring. This is a first with ANY game bearing Sid's name! Played Civ1-3, MoM, MoO-2 & SMAC, and played all of them for years after they had become graphically dated... hell, still to this day play Civ 2-3, MoO 2, and MoM. What is it with CIV that makes this game get old so fast? I know its not just me (I also know many disagree, I respect that) I am really curious about this as the game is basically the same game since Civ 1... but there is something missing; I just dont know what it is? Now before people start saying- "youve played the games too long and lost interest" I know this is not the case as I just installed Age of wonder 2: Shadow magic (thanks to a suggestion here) a game very much in the Civ Model and have been playing this every day since I got it while also continuing to play Civ 3. In fact it is part of the reason I havent picked CIV back up; even though I know it (AoWSM) is an inferior game. But it has something that CIV seems too lack. So now I am playing AoWSM, Civ 3, and Neverwinter Nights daily (well almost daily, wife does get some time ) Basically I am just wondering what this version is lacking? I am curious to know what others are thinking; maybe I am in a very small minority here? Before anyone starts, I am NOT complaining. I dont even know what to complain about, as I am not sure why the game has become boring? I think the game is brilliant in its execution but is lacking something that gives it staying power. I'm just wondering what that something is?
One good thing is that I am almost certain this will be remedied with a future Mod, but right now the game rests in its sleeve.
