Sid Meier's Civilization

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I like Nubians, archers and production/gold bonuses are my jam. It's just too bad they have Slimer as a leader.

An eternal stick in my craw whenever I play Civ 6 is how fucking far they reached to find female leaders. 15 of the 42 leaders are female, and most of them are big stretches. Like if you write a short list of important French historical leaders and you pick two fairly obscure women over Napoleon and Louis XIV you should probably fucking kill yourself.

I really miss when they had almost every civ having multiple leaders, each with a twist on the civ.

I don't really know if I have a favorite civ cause I'm always playing a different civ just to keep the game interesting, but if I have to choose I guess Poland.

Civ 5 you silly, there are no dark ages. You just drag out the golden age for 500 years and Askia starts pumping out the axe cavalry because you're now his favorite target.
 
Funnily enough I reinstalled BTS last night. Maybe I will try and win a deity game or do some scenarios. Usually I just like to dominate prince difficulty.
 
Resurrecting this thread because Civilization 7 has been announced!

I really hope they drop the cartoony artstyle.

I hope they improve the writing, as autistic as that may sound. I know Civilization isn't exactly a serious game, and can be very wacky, but 4 and 5 had at least some sense of gravitas when it came to the descriptions of techs and wonders, helped by the VO work. In 6, so many of the quotes are jokes or sarcastic, and Sean Bean sounds like he's about to fall asleep. I guess it makes thematic sense for 6's more exaggerated and comedic leaders and all, but I dunno. I liked the previous couple games' style. The district system is cool, though.
They better bring Christopher Tin back for the theme again. His works are fantastic.

But VI is terrible. I want Civ V graphics and hexes with everything else being Civ IV BtS.

Man the lack of style in Civ V's graphical presentation was embaressingly bad. The blank, soleless minimap that looked like a wargaming board. Everything was made to look small, like a giant sized map felt like you were playing in an area representing a city park instead of the whole world.

I actually liked III's presentation the vest, even though the game was obviously very flawed.

Civ 6 is legit a good step forward in the game. Districts are a really great system to diversify cities, biggest of all is the harbor district allowing you to have a city able to produce sea units with out your city center being directly on the coast. Wonders taking up a tile encourage you to spread them out more, instead of just piling them all into your highest production cities.

A lot of people complain about workers having charges, but after many hours of it, I much prefer the speed at which improvements get built, I can't go back to building a worker, and then waiting 4-6 turns for each mine. I can easily set up to have 3 workers, with 5 to 8 charges that can instantly get a new city providing me it's resources.

Disasters are great, I try to grab every volcano I can, rivers that the flood RNG favor get crazy.

V really punishes going wide, and I think VI does a better job making wide or tall work.

I really think a lot of people got 500 hours into V, and comparing V plus two expansion to base VI rejected it and turned back(I remember the same with IV to V, but people eventually seemed to largely move on to V, were a huge base of the community still shuns V).

I completely get off VI isn't your cup of tea, but if you haven't yet given VI with all it's addons a legitimate try, don't let the fiver menace scare you off from it. I wholeheartedly think it's a superior experience, they made a lot of changes however I believe the vast majority make the game a better experience once you get familiar with them.

I've already discussed with my Civ group how even after I drug them kicking and screaming into VI, and even though they are fully hooked and haven't touched V in years, that I will have to do the exact same thing with VII.

Now, will anyone manage drag me into playing Humankind...🤔

I am still annoyed that corporations never came back. Maybe they did in VI but I only played that for 100 hours or so like five years ago and don't remember much.
