just got civ v the other day, just because it was on sale. haven't even played it yet. haven't played any civ since the original one. i think i'll be disapointed. don't have free time to do "just one more turn" game sessions like the old days anyways. :)

The good thing about Civ Rev is that it is simple, but that's just my opinion. If you want to play with friends or feel like a true conqueror, then you play Civ V. If you want to laugh as you wreck everyone's sh*t with your infinitely stacked units of artillery and bombers, then you play Civ Rev.

Problem with Civ V is that the time from Winning the game, to finishing the game is very many turns... so usually I don't bother finishing. I wish the AI could give up.

How about tactical combat simulator ?
Series like Close Combat are great.

Have you heard about General : Gettysburg by Darthis ?
It is quite successful. Do you buy anything on Paradox or Slitherine online stores ?


Beyond Earth is as simple as some Mmos. I hate the orbital layer system. It is basically a temporary or powerup you would to spam as much as possible. Alienas are not challenging.

I have heard that civ be was a sucessor to another space colony game but with a 2d board.



I never played. I know an Orion type game with a million or more planets to colonize. It is very speadsheety like the old sims. You can research tech in a very complicated way and build spaceships from 100 or so components giving more than a thousand of possibilities. It is a 4x like Enders game.

Hostile, you're thinking of the Cult Classic "Alpha Centauri".

Is it a 4x like master of orion ? :p


Edit : I mean colonizing other planets and exploring.



Homeworld for best space game. I saw many ads when it was released but I find space based games boring.
