It's not that aite. I uninstalled it. Games take WAY too long, even on 'quick' mode. Turn system gets boring, if you enable the timer you always forget to move one troop, you'll hit every tech and building on one playthrough from ancient age to future age, which I did, and have no replay value left. The interaction with different people is stale, and it seems the only way of swaying their opinion of you is to shower them in gold.

Nukes are shit.

I gave the game a chance and just couldn't get into it. Felt too much like Civ 4.

Games are supposed to take ages to play out. It's a turn system like every other Civ game. You're meant to hit every tech and building in that one play through.

I don't even know why you're in this thread.

Just because you don't like the game doesn't mean it's a bad game.

The civ games are good for their genre. If you don't like the genre, or turn based games then you ain't gonna like it.

And civ2 was one of the best games back in the day.

finray fancies himself a pro fps player.

To him, skill is all wrists, not brains. While Civ is all brains, no wrists. As such, he thinks it's ghey.

It's an opinion, brah, I think it sucks. I'm sure there's games you don't like that others do. Does that make them bad still?

Sure, it's probably a good game, if you like it, but if you don't like it it sucks.

E: Also there's no real 'thinking' involved, against bots, at least, it takes forever and an age (pun intended) to amass any sort of army, so you can research every technology, not like you have to choose what's going to work for you. And once you've researched all those technologies, it's just build lots of the best units you can, rush to the enemies base, put melee infront of ranged, game over.

No, you obviously spent 0.0003 minutes learning to play and 4 hours beating your keyboard because the game wouldn't do what you wanted it too.

I don't know why everyone says it takes a long time to beat and forever to build things.  You don't have to build anything.  All you have to do is have a good economy, thats it.  Once you have a good economy and have a lot of gold per turn you let your cities build wonders and buy units/buildings/tiles etc etc.

One trick I've done is to have no army but a LOT of gold.  If you attack you're neighbor you allow him to garrison units, move promoted units onto corresponding tiles, and turtle behind city attacks.  If, however, you simply have no units your neighbor will become hostile (many dialog screens will open with him/her telling you how weak you are, how much you suck, so on and so forth) and eventually attack you.  Now you have the advantage, allow his units to advance into your territory and if you have played properly up to this point (aka, building defensive wonders and choosing the proper policies)you just suddenly buy a bunch of units and you will slaughter him/her.  Once all of his/her units are dead at the doorsteps of your cities you can simply move out and conquer his cities one by one dealing only with the one attack per turn of whatever city you are in front of.


Work smarter, not harder.  People who suck at/dislike/don't get Civ are simply to stupid to play Civ.  There is no learning curve.

If your point was that the game takes no skill, then why do you suck at it and bitch about how bad it is?

Where did you get the impression I sucked at it? I steamrolled the first couple of games I played (4 and 5 difficulty) then got bored of it.

I didn't undermine anything.  This is NO learning curve.  A FPS has a learning curve because you have to learn to aim, shoot, use tactics etc properly.  The Civ series takes no actual motor skill, rather thinking skill, you're not suddenly going to think better because you played the game a lot.  Everything in Civ tells you in WRITING what it does and acts accordingly.  If a unit says it has 5 strength and goes up against a 3 strength unit, you know your odds are that you are going to win.  Of course then you take into account the bonuses, weaknesses and other factors but the fact is, they are ALL right there in front of you.  The only "skill" the game requires is the ability to read.  The part that sets players apart is intelligence and a strategic mindset and if you don't have that coming in, you aren't going to develop it anytime soon.
