driveby Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'd love to get back into the CIV series but I just don't have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'd love to see a Civ quality game on the 360 rather than that last BS they put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby's Hubby Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) +1. A good game takes weeks or even months +2 the PS3 version is so weak, I am glad I bought it used. I would still try the new civ on PC, though. You would think they could put out some War games like Panzer General for the PS3. I would like to see more vintage table top or bookcase (ala Avalon Hill ) like games for PS3. They would have to be easy to write. Maybe even Railroad Tycoon.

If you liked Civ, you'll like Alpha Centuri. Its older, but also made by Sid. Heros V was pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Alpha Centuri the newer version of 'Master of Orion'? I liked Masters of Orion. I grew up playing alot of the Sports Illustrated sports games as well. I still have many originals of SI and Avalon Hill games. My brother does all the strat-o-matic replays and we have all the bowl Bound team sets and many of the Paydirt team sets in original form and the PC team sets for Red Zone.

Egret Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Installing this game reminds me why I switched to console games. I hate the install process and unhappy play on my 3 month old computer. I shouldn't have to bling out my graphics card to play a game like this.

MrTed46 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Civ 5 so far looks great. Played it for an hour last night and mostly just f'ing around. I love the HEX instead of QUAD tiles and I also love you can't stack units anymore. Graphics are great for a turn based game. I am going to kill hours with this.

Scooby's Hubby Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'm diggin' this version warlord level is challenging, even. the diplomacy is harder. any tricks found out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold is king, make sure this is your priority and make sure you are allies to city states. I find this game much more enjoyable with mods as the vanilla version is not balanced like civ 4.
