Didn't 3 also have the thing where leaders switched clothes and haircuts as they went through the eras? All civ games need that.

its kind of sad where 3 is the one i grew up with, and there's something to be said for simplicity, but fuuuuuuck a lot of the fundamental mechanics in that game suck

Gort posted:It gave us borders, those are cool though right Man, I remember the original Colonization, before borders were invented. As far as I could tell, the enemy AI was literally scripted to come sit outside your cities on your resources to block you from using them and just double daring you to start a war to make them leave. It sucked.

To be fair, Civ 3 they'd send huge armies with settlers into your borders then declare war if you told them to get lost

Civ 3 was a beta for Civ 4. But I guess the same holds true for 1->2 and 5->6. Though it's closer to 2 in terms of mechanics, but introduced some of the stuff we enjoyed in 4.

I seem to half remember being super excited by the default state in 4 being 'NO ADMITTANCE' without explicitly signing open borders after years of 3.

Other than the switch to isometric, Civ 2 was more of a DLC for Civ 1 than 1 being a beta for 2. Describing 3 as a beta for 4 is more accurate probably.

Keiya posted:I wanna play Civ but Civ V barely runs on this lovely laptop and Steam won't even download Civ VI You may not realise that it's an option, but you could rent a virtual machine with enough power to run new games and stream through a browser or client software. I have an account with Paperspace.com that combined with a decent broadband connection gives me a 'gaming laptop' for ~$20/month which works out a hell of a lot cheaper than updating my hardware. There are obvious drawbacks, but if you meet the use case then you should look into it.

As cool as it is living in this future world we have, would there not be huge issues with compression artifacts and input lag? Gaming must be the one medium that such a setup would be insufferable on.

This solution sounds like it would be an absolutely terrible experience when playing games. I am interested in what kind of setup you have to make this usable. For example, how do you play the game you are streaming, like, how does it work? Please don't tell me you are using remote desktop. Also, what kind of games does this work with, I assume Civ V/VI is one but are there others. Do you play mainly games like CK II, EU IV etc.? I am genuinely interested in hearing what you have setup and what you use it for, it sounds interesting.

  In fairness, this is an outlier. The other benchmarks tend to show Coffee Lake well ahead.

Current civfanatic theory is that new DLC/patch will come near end of October. Guess this is preparation for that.
