Civ 5 is dumb

The WW2 normandy invasion was a doomstack

One unit of tards with muskets should not inviolably occupy 10,000 square miles of rolling hills

1upt vs doomstax is a false dichotomy good game designers could have done something good instead of either

The ai can't play the game

lllllllloooooooooolllllllllll

I've never had a problem with IUPT since it makes utilizing terrain across multiple lines and the quality of each unit actually matter and effective utilization of strategy to defeat the odds work better.

Like I guess if there were ways to be able to stack more, like one of the military social policies or a wonder or something, that would add an interesting element, but there has to be a limit on it, I just find putting hundreds of units onto a single tile is just sorta...lame and annoying to deal with since it takes tactics away from military things and turns it into who has the biggest number above their head.

Plus the modding scene for Civ V is super awesome and I'm pretty sure a functional third expansion pack knitted together from several different big projects is pretty viable. My favorite one is Events and Decisions that basically transplants those things from EUIV and it adds an entirely new layer of uniqueness to literally every civ. plus like every country ever is in the works, currently people are doing the likes of Bhutan and Malta which is a pretty close testament to how close the game is to having the option of recreating nearly every political state in human history

Release my children! My hat is truly great and mighty.

overall i probably prefer civ 5 now but i do miss assimilating other civs' cities through cultural dominance, turning lesser civs into vassals, and the more stylised leader portraits; civ 5's look pretty realistic, but don't have as much personality i think

All I know about Civ 5 modding is that someone made a Metal Gear Solid civ which is cool but not cool enough for me to play Civ 5.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
I miss playing Civ 2. I wish they'd offer it on Steam or GOG or something.

the most insane thing about that mod is that it's actually pretty balanced and works pretty well, even in multiplayer

well okay we're presuming you can get a multiplayer game to work which is actually kind of a stretch in civ 5 but whatever

e: speaking of, has anyone messed with civ beyond girth's multiplayer yet? if that has a functional PitBoss mode i'll probably buy it before it gets the 10 patches it probably needs

Endless Legend is probably a better Civ 5 than Civ 5. I like the squad idea as a good compromise between stacks and one unit per tile..
