[Frodo Bolson]

There are many threads about wich one is the better, but here let's choose the opposite, wich is the WORST one.

This thread would be a lot more interesting if you post your reasons to choose this or that game as the worst, instead of just voting and that's all.

16 votes so far - and Civ 2 has none, and is thus winning. No surprise.

You want reasons why I voted for Civ 3? You got it.

Culture Flipping; AI cheating; Settler Diarrhea; massive corruption; no Multi Cheat; no scenario-building; pitiful naval warfare; a slow moving engine; and in general a step back historically.

Call to Power was a 50 dollar coaster. It had some good ideas but the execution was just off, it played like it hadn't been tested. "Stealth units" were horrifically unbalanced, and it always seemed like I was discovering new things to build about 2-3 times as fast as I could build them. Civ3 has some annoyances but Call to Power is much, much worse.

I actually hated CTPII more. They got the concepts right from I, and it looked and sounded great. With Civ wonders and a few add-ons like leader pictures and civ distinctions that mattered, it would have been brilliant. But I was so enraged to find the AI so useless despite heavy ads to the contrary that it gets the booby prize in my book.
