just copped this today fer mac, looks pretty dope. anyone else play civilization? its one of the only games i play and get somewhat addicted to

ggpr · 10-02-2009, 07:03 PM

yep, great game and very addictive. I have started to enjoy beating other civilizations culturally or religiously rather than the typical military domination.

civilization is good shit but after a while its so repetitive and predictable, also later in the game when civilization is large it takes forever to micro manage all teh shit you have going on .

but ya it definetly is a good game. the expansions werent really that great IMO

Civ hotseat is CRACK in computer form, beware.

Ted if you think you've mastered Civ then may I suggest Hearts of Iron 2, the best strategy game of all time?

tedkennedy · 10-03-2009, 11:33 AM

^ interest, i will have to look into it

I havent played civ for a while maybe 4 years... ive got some free time on my hands... i might try and get it

John F. Kerry · 10-03-2009, 12:20 PM

i always dl them and never manage to play them for too long-

i cant really get into the "turn based" format and how everything seems so unrealistic.

maybe im missing something cuz everyone says how awesome civ is.

how should i approach the game to make it enjoyable?

like it always seems like the actions u can do are so limted and straightforward- it takes like 10 truns for your dudes to walk to another place etc etc...

give me some tips on how to play it and make it fun if u can cuz id like to find a new game to sink some time into

i just dled hearts of iron 3, it was the most confusing shit i have ever tried to play. it seems like it would be a cool game if i just understood what the fuck was happening

It's great but it has a beastly learning curve, you should play as Germany, get tech that boosts manpower, build shittons of divisions and kill some Poles

i love the civ collection.
i still play ancient gasmes that require the dosbox app even.
like the old (the original)
COLONISATION!
and Hereoes of Might and Magic 3

and a personal favourite Master of Orion and its inspired son Birth of the Federation

any thoughts ?

John F. Kerry · 10-04-2009, 04:14 PM

i was just watching some utube vids of civ colonization i think ima have to get that.

is it a stand alone game or an expansion? it sounds like a stand alone rite? sounds pretty tits!

yeah man, colonization is the shit, i haven't played the new one but i just started playing the old one again this week, funny that you should mention it.

Masters of Orion 2 is still to this day one of the all time best strategy games, hell I think I'm gonna play some right now
