Civ 4 was the greatest Civ. Civ 5 and beyond tried to turn it into some kind of board game.
"Death stacks" happen in real life. e.g.: every human battle ever, including Normandy in WW2, I don't know why Civ 5 chose to remove them.
Civ 5 and 6 have nice features but it's no longer Civ to me. Plus, the excessive amount of $60 DLCs are a no-no.
- mcv 6y agoI think the death stacks make it too easy to just steamroll over the opposition. One military unit per hex makes it more tactical. It works for me.
- 29athrowaway 6y agoCiv 4 has ways to prevent excessive unit stacking. Mounted units, catapults, artillery and air strikes cause collateral damage. Nukes make death stacks useless. I think the game was fine the way it was.
- mcv 6y agoAnd still is, isn't it? I don't think they changed Civ 4. Nothing wrong with different people liking different games.
- mercer 6y ago> Civ 4 was the greatest Civ. Alpha Centauri enters the room ;)
- 29athrowaway 6y agoAlpha Centauri was a great game. Its spiritual successor Civ Beyond Earth was not.
