Which Do You Play Mostly:Civ:1, Civ:2, Civ:3, Civ:4 or Civ:5

[uat2d]

I voted Civ4.

Civ3 was truly awesome, when I got Civ4 I took quite some time to get used to it and only about over an year I started understanding it better and having as much fun there as I had in Civ3.

But as times goes by, Civ3 just gets older and older and I already played the crap out of it. Neither of them were perfect but now I'm just so used to Civ4 I couldn't just go back to Civ3.

In short, both Civ3 and Civ4 are awesome, the only reason I choose Civ4 is because it's not as old.

Alright then. But through your righteousness it appeared you were attempting to resurrect the argument of console vs PC.

Nope, I don't even own a (21st century) console.

PC Versus Smartphone on the other hand....

Then how do you play revolution?

 

[Perfection]

iPod Touch

 

[jtb1127]

Is the touch version even the same game?

 

[Fire Bringer]

Yes, but it doesn't have multiplayer.

I started on Civ 3, played it tons, got Civ 4, played it lots, got Civ 5, and I play it whenever I can now, but I will play Civ 4 when Civ 5 isn't available. I have played Civ 1 and 2 a bit, but never finished a game. Right mow I'm itching for a game of Civ 3.

I'm similar, although I still go back to III, especially for some of the scenarios. I think for it's time III was better (played more of that all told than IV) but I play more IV now. I still haven't played III to death yet. I find that III often plays faster for me as well - so one game doesn't take as long (except IV OCC).

@Antilogic - I wish I hadn't figured out your Avatar. Now I go crazy every time I look at it. Nice Avatar, though. For years I thought it was just a Pelican.

CivIII pwns CivV 29-15

 

[uat2d]

CivIII pwns CivV 29-15

Surprised?

I am not.

 

[EnglishCrusader]

CivIII pwns CivV 29-15

Yea, that's great

I reckon that if it was for the overall gaming, and not what they are playing at the moment, CivIII could actually win. I think most people just play Civ4 for the reason uat2d explained:

Or because most people here that was their first version?

 

[Supr49er]

I play Civ V the most, but just barely, over Civ IV Fall From Heaven II and Fall Further mods.

Or this. It was my first version but I don't think that's the reason I still play it. Could be, though.

 

[GamezRule]

Civ III is the only one I own, although I have both versions of Colonization. The first one was a gift because the guy said I could have this stack of old games or he would throw them out. Most of them are too old to work on my computer!

 

[Takhisis]

DOSBox is your friend there.

 

[Akka]

Civ4, best of the serie by far, and blessed with bot insanely good mods (Fall From Heaven II is simply jaw-dropping awesome) and very functionnal multiplayer (first time I could really play with pal all over the world on a Civ, it's been a blast).

And seeing how the franchise is going down the drain, it's probably not gonna be dethroned.

I played Civ 3 a lot back then. Civ 4 is the best. I did play some Civ 5 multiplayer recently.

I am still optimistic that we will get part 6 of the series. It is these stupid DLCs and no expansion pack is what getting on my nerves. Bought them all. And I don't normally buy games except that I do buy COD and the Battlefield titles.

Civ 3 for the countless hours I spent playing it, and of course this beautiful song.

They need to get back to the roots of what made Civ 3 so great, and combine it with the polishing and modding ability that Civ 4 had, and you'll have a truly great game.

 

[jtb1127]

I remember that song from when I last played that game. Which was a only like two months ago. I think I'll play it again soon.
