Infidel Castro posted:True. Civ 4 had a crippling memory leak and Civ 5 was missing a bunch of features such as "stuff to do" and "fun." That's unfair: Civ 5 is an excellent 'Press Enter' simulator! (Does it still take about 80 turns just to build a loving Warrior?)

pretty sure. Theres a cool total war game where you can use rifles to brutally slaughter thousands of samurai, that was way more fun than civ 5. I'm talking like 1000 dead samurai

Civ IV was better. I bought 5 on a steam deal for twentyish bucks. It's okay, definitely very pretty, but I still don't like stackless warfare and it's more vapid than IV. I'd like to play Europa Universalis but it's always >40 bucks and I'm a stingy bastard when it comes to videogames.

For all the people saying 5 is pretty I think 4 actually ultimately looks better because your whole continents turn into nice sprawling cities and stuff. Higher polygon counts and texture resolutions don't always beat stuff like that.

Blurry Gray Thing posted:"What's religion? Are different religions different and make people act in different ways?" Play the expansions, where religion and religion conversion is a central part to Civ IV, and can directly impact your alliances and cultural interactions. Point: Civ IV. BTS. Blurry Gray Thing posted:"What's culture? Paintings and museums and stuff?" Also a city taken from another culture will retain part of that culture and more easy to sway, requiring all kinds of special considerations instead of "Here, have a culture point." Point: Civ IV: BTS. Blurry Gray Thing posted:"So if I'm playing a fascist or a commie dictator should I build museums and radio towers so I can have propaganda and my people will be happier and my soldiers will fight harder?" Except Civ IV had far, far more options to help pacify the population available during wartime. Point: Civ IV: BTS. None of your points are remotely accurate.

Civ 5 was okay, but Civ 2 is still the greatest Civ game of all time. Frankly, the best 4X game I've played in recent years was Sins of a Solar Empire.

Wait did culture ever get mechanics beyond 'buy buildings for more culture points' that mattered because I know religion was a huuuuuge waste of time but now people are talking about their personal painting galleries and poo poo and ??? Is this like a Sims patch that is also called Civilization V or something Tubgirl Cosplay fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Sep 3, 2014 |

Like, I understand the direction civ V was trying to take, but I just feel like IV was overall the better game.Blazing Ownager posted:Play the expansions, where religion and religion conversion is a central part to Civ IV, and can directly impact your alliances and cultural interactions.

Nah people who like Civ V are more like someone who sees a remake of a classic movie without ever enjoying the original and doesn't understand why the original fans all keep saying it's poo poo. Somewhere out there, someone just saw the remake of Robocop (which was an alright, slickly produced product just like Civ V) and doesn't realize how inferior it was to the original. I've hit very few Civ V fans that were also big Civ IV fans. Almost always Civ V fans last played like, Civ 2 or nothing at all.

Civ5 can be a decent MP war game so long as everyone has decently balanced starts and there's no one vastly more skilled player who goes around chumping everyone else.Blazing Ownager posted:Civ 4 even still looks good thanks to it's art style. It aged well. Civ4 was a great empire building game, my favourite thing to do was to zoom in on your cities and a look at all the lil models of the buildings you have constructed. Ooh, a granary, a barracks, a stable. Civ5 only showed your palace, and then a colosseum, and wonders, and that was basically it.

i think civ v is alright but as other people have said im pretty bad at it unless i play on an easy difficulty. i can't play civ iv anymore because caveman2cosmos made it totally awesome but it takes forever to get through turns. i had a massive world war going and it seriously took 10 minutes between turns i dont have the patience for that poo poo seriously though try caveman2cosmos for civ iv... you will lovei t!!!!! i like civ v though i was just playing it as the aztecs and was about to slaughter napoleon then it crashed and i forgot to save for half an hour

Effectronica posted:civ 2 was the best civ game, because it was in the heady days of modding when all you needed was a basic knowledge of the scripting language within the game (that they included in the freaking manual for the second-to-last version) and you could create an arcade version of the battle of the atlantic, or play through settling mars, or world war: 1979, or the post-apocalyptic one with dinosaurs, terminators, and bikers

I liked the idea of roads costing maintenance on CIV V because holy gently caress computer literally builds roads on every atom of the map and that basically kills any raiding/cutting off supply lines irrelevant-ish unless you cut off the resource itself. If there is a mod that makes CIV IV roads having upkeep, help this brother out mang. Hexes are ok I guess, doom stacks are kinda boring.
