Turning off Civ Specific abilities

[edwardogal]

How many of you are tired of weighing up the pros and cons of each civ and just want a balanced game? Personally I prefer to play the Civ 2 weigh by turning civ specific abilities off. Does anyone else like doing this?

 

[Dell19]

Not really as I feel that the civ attributes allow my games to differ from each other. If all civs were the same then it would be too tempting to essentially play the same strategy again and again...

I agree with Dell.

However, if you want this, go into the editor and change all the atributes to the same.

 

[Dell19]

Bw by turning of civ specific attributes do you just mean being scientific or religious etc or do you want to get rid of the unique units as well?

 

[edwardogal]

The option turns both off.

"Does anyone else like doing this?"

I guess the answer was no

 

[Dell19]

I guess some people probably will at least try it but looking at the Civ4 suggestions forum it seems that alot of people would like to see more diverse civs rather than having exactly the same civ except with different names.

I did not think that there was an actual option. I was suggesting what Dell19 siad, turn off the attributes. I think getting rid of the UU is a little more work.

I would not suggest either.

Originally I thought that there might be an option to do it but then after rereading his post I began to wonder if he just meant the civ attributes and not units as well...

for getting rid of the UU, I believe there is a civ-content game, which has no UU's.

I takes the variety out of the game, and as dell19 said, they more the same, and you end up using same strategies.

I thought about doing this once, but thought 'What's the point?'.... I play the Americans because I want fast expansion and quick infrastructure building. I play the ottomans because I like the science/industrious combo, but Sipihi's rock. I play the Dutch for early tech domination.... There are different ways to play each civ. Like Dell said, it would be too easy to play the same tactic over and over.

But hey, if that's how you like to play it, great... One of the beauties of this game is that you can mod it to your hearts content.
