tonyh29 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) it sorta went downhill after the original though didn't it Think it was Civ 4 where you could use culture to take the map , which wasn't as much fun as rocking up on Gandhi's doorstep with a big army , taking gold to not invade him and then invade him next turn anyway boy i wasted hours of my life playing civ ... might have to give V a go Edited January 10, 2014 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 If you're gonna play V, get the expansions as well. Vanilla V is pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The original Civ was absolutely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The Brave New World expansion for Civ 5 is genuinely really good. It adds a few things (like the UN) that make the end of the game more interesting, instead of a boring grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Brave New World is the only EP that I don't have, not long started playing it again to be fair but I quite like Civ V - that said I didn't play a great deal of the ones before this.

nobler Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Like others have said, with the two expansions the game just elevates to a completely new level, it's absolutely brilliant. Without them, it's pretty average and very frustrating - very strange AI. An absolutely fantastic game though with the expansions, can't recommend it enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark8691 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Don't play many games, but this is probably one of my favourites. Been taking an extended break from it recently but i'm sure i'll soon return. Enjoy watching multiplayer games of it on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Today I've learnt that Stefan is a Civ nerd and Germans are rocket polishers. Ha, I made some schoolboy errors in that game though. Agree with you about the Germans though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've played every game in the series, although never ventured into the multiplayer bit of it. BNW is great. Off topic, but I recently got Europa Universalis 4 when it was on sale at Steam, and it blew me away. I like it a lot more than CIV. It took a lot of "Let's Play's" and epic fails to understand it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Has anyone played Crusader Kings 2? I'll probably get one of either Europa Universalis 4 or that next time they're on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hmm, I really like Civ 5, liked them all since the original. But it did wind me up when I couldn't work out how to put the rocket parts together and it turned out that because I'd already won a cultural victory I couldn't then make the rockets, even though it let me keep building them. Then the way that once you are forced into defending yourself against a few aggressors, no **** EVER trusts you again and denounce you on every **** turn. Interesting that the expansions make it so much better. May get them and have another look. My kids play multiplayer on it. Son started playing it from 7 and it taught him loads about geography, technology and history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
