vanilla?

[striq]

this is probably a newbee question but what is civ vanilla that i keep seeing?

 

[WackenOpenAir]

when a game has one or more expansions, the game without expansions is refered to as vanilla.

Something I posted a while back:

..."vanilla" denotes the plain, original version. I first heard the term used many years ago, in the military, in reference to a "plain vanilla Top Secret clearance", as opposed to the "Top Secret / SIOP" clearance I was getting. (Yes, Top Secret has many "flavors", most of them classified to even discuss. )

BTW: We *DO* have a "Quick Answers" thread stickied at the top of the forum, just made for this type of question.

i thought 'vanilla' refers to the color of the box! but your explanation, padma, means, 'vanilla' can be used as an vanilla adjective for 'plain, normal, standard', e.g. ... vanilla coke.

Vanilla coke is a great example since you can also get vanilla coke aswell as standard vanilla coke, although I have a feeling that you already knew this

that sounds absolutely disgusting, good thing they only have coke and coke light here.

Vanilla coke is ok, but different of Civ you can't have it every day.

I would have thought it was easier to have vanilla coke every day than play Civ every day as games take a long time so I like to have a break in between

Well, I don't know how is English vanilla coke, but the one I have in Australia is impossible to drink often... you don't feel the vanilla taste if you have it all the time.

Sometimes is the same with Civ... but I reckon no game can escape this fate. Some days later I'll playing it again.

I`ve never experienced vanilla coke. I`m Czech so this means beer.

 

[subbss]

I don't drink vanilla coke but I agree with you about the civ part!

 

[WackenOpenAir]

Vanilla coke is disgusting. I worked in a supermarket until recently, and it is for obvious reasons vanilla coke sells less than 2% the quantity of normal coke.

 

[Dell19]

I don't particularily like it either but some people probably do...
