Yeah it takes a while to really accomplish anything BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 27/09/2010 06:37:20 PM
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.

Unless you're playing it on the fastest setting, in which case you are probably missing a lot of the "fun" in micromanaging your nation anyway because the game moves too fast for some of the more subtle things.

So? How's Civ V? *NM* beetnemesis - 22/09/2010 04:08:25 AM 586 Views
So far I prefer civ IV *NM* Roland00 - 22/09/2010 06:32:05 AM 308 Views
Let it be known I haven't played any since the first day. Roland00 - 27/09/2010 03:18:41 AM 672 Views
I can't decide. I like Civ V combat better, but the other stuff... beetnemesis - 29/09/2010 10:00:45 PM 611 Views
That seems reasonable though Darth_Katie - 30/09/2010 12:20:23 AM 639 Views
I assume he means BlackAdder - 30/09/2010 12:55:58 AM 752 Views
Idk, I haven't played Civ V either. *NM* Darth_Katie - 30/09/2010 01:04:11 AM 313 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 304 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 281 Views
Could you elaborate? *NM* BlackAdder - 26/09/2010 07:08:15 AM 299 Views
Is there a tutorial? TaskmasterJack - 27/09/2010 03:27:58 AM 610 Views
Yup, there are some basic tutorials beetnemesis - 27/09/2010 03:45:57 AM 621 Views
Yep. Seemed pretty bare bones to me. Zalis - 27/09/2010 04:18:34 AM 658 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 318 Views
Well I don't think it is an RTS BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 02:15:50 AM 609 Views
Well, by definition, it isn't. What with that "real time" bit and all. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 02:48:02 AM 334 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 641 Views
*raises hand* I do. Legolas - 28/09/2010 10:19:26 PM 612 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 638 Views
My favorite TBS was, oddly, Lords of the Realm II. TaskmasterJack - 29/09/2010 12:23:43 AM 615 Views
Similar to the game Diplomacy, then. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/09/2010 03:16:02 AM 287 Views
Me too, but not because of gameplay. Rather, because it lacks a campaign. Aemon - 28/09/2010 04:15:52 AM 593 Views
Europa Universalis doesn't even have victory conditions. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 04:56:12 AM 340 Views
I will get back to you as soon as I can play it. AliasRY - 26/09/2010 04:39:18 PM 608 Views

Hahaha *NM* Darth_Katie - 27/09/2010 04:05:23 AM 296 Views
Yes. I walked right into that. *NM* AliasRY - 27/09/2010 04:25:38 PM 308 Views
