Definitely a tough question because of people's nostalgia for the older versions.
Civ 4 is the best version of "classic civ", so if you want a modern take on 1, 2, or 3, go with Civ 4.
Civ 5 was dramatically re-developed. Instead of a square grid (4 possible movement directions for a unit) they moved to a hex grid (6 directions!). And they removed unit stacking, so you don't have these army hoards on single tiles that can wipe out everything in their path. They changed a lot and I think it was for the better - a lot of quality of life improvements. It plays much better than 4 while still retaining the classic civ "just one more turn" feeling.
Civ 6 is too much. It's got too many features and too much user interface. It feels like a chore to play some times. The music is better in Civ 6 than 5, but nothing beats Civ 4's Baba Yetu.
- toast0 9y agoOn the square grid, you can move in 8 directions, moving diagnoally is pretty important to max your vision in the early game.
- hinkley 9y ago4 is the last one voiced by Leonard Nemoy, isn’t it?
- dangerbird2 9y agoThe only one voiced by him.
- fjsolwmv 9y agoNimoy did all the vocals on Civ 1
- da_chicken 9y agoThat's a joke, right? Civ 1 is old enough that it shipped on 5 1/4" floppy disks. Or did he help with a remake I'm not aware of?
- dragonwriter 9y ago> Nimoy did all the vocals on Civ 1 That's true in the same sense that it's true thst I did all the vocals on Civ 1.
- hinkley 9y agoHuh. I could have sworn he was on III. Maybe I’m misremembering IV stock and with expansions as two different games.
- dangerbird2 9y agoThe square grid actually gave eight directions of movement, but introduced the problem of diagonal and parallel moves being different distances
- distances 9y agoYep, and I think the hexagon is thus quite superior both in logical sense and aesthetically.
