That wasn't annoying that was AWESOME.
Have there been DRM issues with previous Civ games? The only annoying one I remember was Civ I, which gave you annoying prompts every 20 or so turns unless you looked something up in the manual, which I somehow lost despite it being the size of an Argos catalog.
Copyright protection that integrated itself so well into the flavour of the game. A pretender to the throne, prove yourself or be deposed! Compare with EA's attempt to protect their game with DLC which is communicated in-game with, "buy this dlc!"
I never thought of the civ thing as anti-piracy, I just thought it was just one part of the game. Of course I was 5 at the time...
dsmx: for advisors, diplomatic heralds were 3d models. Needed atleast 16megs of videoRAM, which my poor 385 never had. I didn't even have 16-bit colour, so I played most of Civ2 in 256, got used to it very fast! -

Registered 7 years agoI'm reading the Civ2, 3 and 4 manuals right now. For old time's sake.
edit: think I'll play some Multiplayer Gold edition too! Brap! -

The only problem i have with Civ is that i end up always playing one strategy. All peace until muskets appear, war for a hundred years, give up - sign peace treaty.. wait for marines to appear and then war again to the end. Perhaps this time i'll learn out to eke out the best from my cities.
- Determinded to play peacefully and win via peaceful means
- Expand as much as I can
- Build up my army in case of attack
- Realise I'm really powerful and I might as well start a war
- Realise I'm not as powerful as I thought I was and regret starting war
- Make peace
- Win space race -

Registered 7 years agoI hope there is like a collector's edition. I'll buy it twice, just so one can stay fresh while the other gets used over and over. -
Yeah. Same here, although I often make a cultural victory rather than a space race. Still not got the hang of wars in Civ IV after all these years. I usually win them, one at a time, but fall so far behind the peaceful nations that I might as well quit if the peace negotiations fail. -

Registered 10 years agoI always tend to be as peaceful as I can in Civ but it generally goes horribly wrong at some point. I have to say to my favourite bit of a Civ game is actually exploring the map and building the first few cities.
I'm rather intrigued by the idea of a streamlined Civ. -

Registered 7 years agoMy tactic is expand early and fast, building out lying cities and fortifying them for control. Then building lots of cities to bulk up the production and population. Make cities as clean as possible. Be in second place... wait till 95th turn then launch about 65 nukes in to the country in first place in score, knocking them down to 6th place. Then just hold off the attacks of everyone else who retaliates.
Super excited for this, got into 4 pretty late so some of the stuff in there felt a little old when I got to it, will be nice to experience the game as it's released and supported. -

Registered 7 years agoMy first ever civ win was conquest. Man, I remember having some epic wars, back and forths...
Even remember the hard lesson how important managing economy in terms of funding research. When China nuked my city which had militia for defence...and when I hadn't realised you could fortify them inside the city, so I always made a defensive ring of them instead.
Good times.

That is pointless. It's always been far more efficient to take over already existing enemy cities and use their resources. Your utopian peace-lovers always get their asses kicked, because a few modern cities are useless against the hordes of unwashed medieval warriors.coastal wrote:

It's seriously good, which is all I care about. -

Of course, it isn't the engine that will determine the really massive maps. Civ 4 could go bigger than they did, much bigger(and were made available)
It's if your PC is 64-bit and allows games to utilise more than the 2gig hard limit in 32-bit software.
I think Civ5 is going to be a 32-bit game(makes sense the transition hasn't gone through fast enough yet). However, I know there is a trick thing that has been done on Fallout 3 and Civ 4 to allow 64-bit users to have the game take advantage of all the extra memory they have available. Of course it would be better if it was designed that way from the beginning.

The iPhone doesn't support Quicktime? Maybe a direct link works.
