I always thought III was the sweet spot for Civ. They've changed hands a couple of times, so perhaps it's because of new teams, but it's never quite seemed on target since III. IV had a rubbish interface, V used insane amounts of CPU mid game on, and I wasn't that convinced by single troop per space.
It's not just that I'm older and less interested in games - there's still the odd one makes me think I need rehab. Factorio managed to achieve it early this year! I'll undoubtedly buy VI and play it though.
- bryanlarsen 10y agoIf you look in older HN threads about Civilization, for every version of Civilization you'll find somebody claiming it's the best. And they'll have valid reasons for their claim.
- anexprogrammer 10y agoI don't doubt it! :) Even I'd play V now if I wanted some Civ time - III feels too dated, even if it did rob the most hours from me.
- toomanybeersies 10y agoThat's one thing I love about Civ. Every game is still so playable because they all have their own individual strong points.
