Why is Trump such a gently caress-up? The leader of China is not a lowly king, he's a glorious emperor.

Tiny Bug Child posted:idk about that. the aliens were broken but they were kind of meant to be. free drones are actually pretty mediocre, they just trade some research for industry. planet cult is terrible. the hackers are useless. pirates are def broken though cause they get to start in the ocean and settle everything before anyone else. and the cyborgs would be broken except they can't pop boom more expansion is always good makes for bland game play style, also not all that realistic: plenty of empires in history fell because of overexpansion

so I read some old forum posts, apparantly cybernetic consciousness is not great and the best factions are like the university, drones and sheng-ji because apparently any growth penalty is the worst thing ever

Typo posted:more expansion is always good makes for bland game play style, also not all that realistic: plenty of empires in history fell because of overexpansion Civ has been historically not good at depicting internal unrest. That's not really a dig at the game being "bad", just that poo poo is abstracted / gamified enough on Civ's end that it never really comes up besides managing happiness.

If you want a semi-realistic historical game, play EU4, Civ is gamey and doesn't try to be real, that's a positive

The Civ 5/6 anti-expanion stuff is like playing mario kart, but constantly having blue shells getting launched. It turns it into garbage.

rudatron posted:4x's are fundamentally war games. Half the gameplay is combat mechanics, and they're designed to make the tactics/strategy of combat as part of their appeal. The driver for conflict, is expansion. Without expansion, the game is just click best building->click next turn. It's the most boring poo poo. My dad still plays Civ 4 with custom games starting at the WW2 tech level and plays it like a wargame, with naval blockades, grand amphibious assaults, aerial bombardment campaigns, and armored spearheads.

that's probably just rose tinted glasses, SMAC had a lot of weird quirks what makes smac special is the unique narrative/setting, because it does what so little of contemporary fantasy + sci/fi does, and focuses on political ideology I can't think of another game that's so explicit about it

also it's got this grim-dark tone to the whole thing that never goes away contrast that with BE, which not only had the mechnanical problems of Civ 5, but...it was just empty. it didn't have anything to say.

yeah personally I don't mind gameplay weirdness and quirks, I'm not much of a min maxer or anything, the atmosphere and setting matter a million times more to me.
