Looking amazing. Hexagon sqaures, downloading mods without leaving the game, and improved graphics. The community being the prime of this game.


Coming in Sept.

Can't wait. Hopefully the one unit per tile and long shooting will make combat better.

Do you play civ 4 then?

'JS: [One of our] major goals with Civ V is that the game be accessible to more people than the previous Civ games.'

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! While not necessary a bad thing, I don't think I have to explain why it is. Especialy when backed up by:

' The thought process we want to promote is "What cool new effect do I want?" rather than the feeling of needing to perform detailed analysis to determine if switching is a good idea.'

'where the game's new, slimmer interface with lessons picked up from Civilization Revolution was first shown,'

Civ's complexity is what makes it so great. It's the reason I'm still loosing on Emperor after building up one difficulty level at a time.

EDIT: 'We also have options to turn on more advanced user interface settings, so we're trying to be mindful that some people do want more on the screen.' Ok maybe it'll be fine.

the only civ game ive played is 3 so i may look into this

The Civ games kick major ass, so I can't wait for this.

I've never played a Civ game or even watched someone else play, but I've heard great things and I think I'll get this once it's released.

PC only?

I'm fine with getting it for my computer... but nobody else every plays computer games, so I never have anyone to play against >.<

Your friends must be bad people.

Only one of my friends actually plays video games regularly - Tex the monkey - and he never gets anything for his computer.

I have played Civilization III and I loved it. Now this one doesn't really interest me AT ALL. I would be fine and dandy playing a sims game or the standard AoE or RCT2...But that's just me. Maybe someone could like this game but I would think that it would be the same as Civilization III with more added features (Like every other sequel game right?)

I got back into Civ 4 again. It's pretty awesome.

Maeve - you HAVE to try Civ 4. I was introduced to the series in Civ 3 by a friend and now both of us find it almost unplayable.

I know what you mean about sequels, but Civ has changed a lot. Give 2 a shot and see if you liek that as much. Just from the combat in Civ 5 I can tell it's going to be an utterly different game. So you know, try it already!

Well, still...I sometimes feel like that once you play one game, then all the other knock-offs feel the same. Like, this Medieval game that had the single turn game play like Civ III and the character designs and action like AoE was really shitty to me. If I wanted to play a game like Civ III or AoE, I would play it...I wouldn't waste $20 on a game that I already have.

But...either way...I can say I'll try it but there's no way that I'm going to stop typing right now and drive up to Best Buy, waste even more of the little money I already have just to try a game with the same basic concept as the squeal or the original for that matter.

I think that Civ 2 and 4 were far better than Civ 3 was.

<3 civII

I made a LotR mod for it hehe

speaking of which, I loved that it made changing the files and sprites so accessible and easy

I played Civ Rev and Civ IV. I loved Civ IV. I played as the Romans and named my Legions ^.^
