Yep. Seemed pretty bare bones to me. Zalis Send a noteboard - 27/09/2010 04:18:34 AM
I get the idea of what's going on, but it failed to grab my attention. I've enjoyed web-based city/empire sims before, but the bit I played of Civ V simply didn't excite. I also don't know if I have time to play for the long haul approach, which is likely what full games require.

Might just be where I'm at in life and game tastes, though. Aside from the complex game system, it seems like a quality title. Well-presented, etc. Maybe I'll buy it on Steam months from now if it's on sale for cheap.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

So? How's Civ V? *NM* beetnemesis - 22/09/2010 04:08:25 AM 521 Views
So far I prefer civ IV *NM* Roland00 - 22/09/2010 06:32:05 AM 246 Views
Let it be known I haven't played any since the first day. Roland00 - 27/09/2010 03:18:41 AM 527 Views
I can't decide. I like Civ V combat better, but the other stuff... beetnemesis - 29/09/2010 10:00:45 PM 462 Views
That seems reasonable though Darth_Katie - 30/09/2010 12:20:23 AM 489 Views
I assume he means BlackAdder - 30/09/2010 12:55:58 AM 600 Views
Idk, I haven't played Civ V either. *NM* Darth_Katie - 30/09/2010 01:04:11 AM 248 Views
First time Civ player here. 30 mins of the demo still has me a little confused. *NM* Zalis - 25/09/2010 07:02:40 PM 239 Views
I think that's the nature of Civ. I tried CivIII and decided it wasn't worth the hassle *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/09/2010 05:35:18 AM 219 Views
Could you elaborate? *NM* BlackAdder - 26/09/2010 07:08:15 AM 227 Views
Is there a tutorial? TaskmasterJack - 27/09/2010 03:27:58 AM 473 Views
Yup, there are some basic tutorials beetnemesis - 27/09/2010 03:45:57 AM 471 Views

Yeah it takes a while to really accomplish anything BlackAdder - 27/09/2010 06:37:20 PM 472 Views
The Civ series is actually my least favorite of the RTS games I've played. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 01:47:03 AM 253 Views
Well I don't think it is an RTS BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 02:15:50 AM 475 Views
Well, by definition, it isn't. What with that "real time" bit and all. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 02:48:02 AM 269 Views
I consider it one simply because no one uses the term TBS (Turn Based Strategy) to describe a genre. TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 03:42:42 AM 484 Views
*raises hand* I do. Legolas - 28/09/2010 10:19:26 PM 467 Views
The genre (sub-genre I guess) has it's own wikipedia page. That's official enough for me. *NM* Aemon - 28/09/2010 11:06:47 PM 494 Views
My favorite TBS was, oddly, Lords of the Realm II. TaskmasterJack - 29/09/2010 12:23:43 AM 470 Views
Similar to the game Diplomacy, then. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/09/2010 03:16:02 AM 224 Views
Me too, but not because of gameplay. Rather, because it lacks a campaign. Aemon - 28/09/2010 04:15:52 AM 455 Views
Europa Universalis doesn't even have victory conditions. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 04:56:12 AM 268 Views
I will get back to you as soon as I can play it. AliasRY - 26/09/2010 04:39:18 PM 476 Views

Hahaha *NM* Darth_Katie - 27/09/2010 04:05:23 AM 229 Views
Yes. I walked right into that. *NM* AliasRY - 27/09/2010 04:25:38 PM 247 Views
