civ started with an idea based on nerding out over history… it needs more history and less game. half the reason anyone likes civ v is because of the narration of the tech tree. it makes you feel like you are voyaging across history. now the history is simply a two dimensional backdrop for the game which is not even very good
- 01100011 2y agoEh, the problem is that god games like this always have to focus on a few angles or risk making a tedious game no one will ever play outside of a few nerds. I liked Civ(1, 2, uh.. 3 and 4 I think)because it felt like a good balance of strategy, discovery, and turn-based action. Actually I was hooked by Civ I because it was like nothing I'd ever played before, having missed out on Empire. The closest thing to it I'd played at the time was Dan(i) Bunton's Modem Wars on c64/128.
