The art style is beautiful; user interface and overall theme is of a sort of 1930s Futurist look, sort of Atlas Shrugged-esque fonts. I forget the actual name of the period, but it's nice.

Art deco?

THERE WE GO!

Yes, art deco.

[Graelyn]

Got it.

Not bad.

Wow, I can actually conquer another civ without sucking so hard.

I like the fact you send units to attack at the same time for epic battlez.

I also like the social policies providing a sort of customization in terms of RP to your nation..."Hm, a warrior-driven republic" and so on...

I do miss changing leader portraits from Civ 3 though.

Too bad you can't see what other civs are doing; that's one thing they need to fix, the diplomacy. In Civ 4, it would tell you if A civ was friends or enemies with you, annoyed, etc. Again, patches FTW since it's on Steam only, so I have no complaints.

Wait, what? How do you do that?

That would make my life a lot easier!

Oh, not quite. SEPARATE units i mean, not the same ones...ie. multiple battles at the same time.

I really like the strategy in this one...

"If we can defeat the entire enemy military at this chokepoint in the Paris mountains, we'll be able to overrun their entire nation thereafter"

And, as always, it literally is "writing your own history", more than ever before. And liberating city-states is a neat concept...in the modern era, those city-states would be the equivalent of small, minor nations...it's more immersive than just having 2 giant globe-spanning empires, and the 'puppet' idea, in some RP meta-fashion, keeps a civilization alive (not mechanically) though

I hate that everyone is so damn aggressive. Gandhi always attacks me because I'm too close, what the hell.

[Casiella]

Well, there went my Saturday. O_o

I bought this on Friday, and I'm pretty impressed with it so far.

I thought that I was going to miss the religious stuff, but I've now realised that all it did was force you to race down specific tecnology paths in order to try to nab new religions.

I really like the way you use culture to adopt policies, and hexes are 4tw.

Also, the lower need for micro-management of cities is a big plus in the late game.

The music is gorgeous

Apart from the tune from the Hovis adverts.

I always loved the Civ series. Truth is though, I haven't bought, or installed another game since installing Eve for the first time. So I most probably wont get around to playing this either.

Ouch, addiction hurts.

I've found that Alpha Centauri was the best experience in this game genre and Alien Crossfire just made it better.

QFT.

Mindworm blobs forever!

I should play Alpha Centauri, but don't just stick to the past. Expand your horizons.

Join my cult.

Trying to figure out what this version is truly bringing to the table over Civ III. Dissapointing, I feel like I'm just playing the same game again.
