"Tiny Trains"

Civ3 was the worst civ and people who say it was the best are like people who think Voyager was the best trek.
Civ4 was objectively the best and had by far the best modding. Civ5 hamstrung the modding community and nothing but anime filled the steam workshop.
Classic civ is good
Civ2 is real good too
Civ 3 is garbage, civ5 is ok and has a lot of good ideas but lacks something.

gaaaah did they at least make the tiles smaller so there are more of them in the same amount of land relative to 5?

Fall from Heaven 2 is both post-apoc and a fantasy setting. You're starting one of many extremely different fantasy civs out after an ice age. They range from Ice barbarians to death cultists to fire-worshipping orcs to Cthulhu-worshipping pirates.

i can't answer that with certainty but everything looks bigger in the screens i've seen.

they did bring civ3 armies back, so you can "stack" a few units into one tile, but otherwise its still 1upt that the AI will undoubtedly have NO loving clue how to use. at least the AI understands how to use doomstacks like civ4

Does the game stop when you achieve advanced space travel ??

Why can't it continue to Alpha Centauri ? They could just take the old game and re-texture it and give it out as a FREE add-on.

They did the whole re-texturing the game in space thing with civ5 except it wasn't free and it was real bad.

iirc civilization was once about prehistory to iron age in the mediterranean and i'd like a game where they really nail that

i think using the same game mechanics to go from a couple of dudes throwing rocks at each other to nuclear weapons stretches thr whole thing too far

But Alpha Centauri is one of the best games. How can just an graphical upgrade ruin it ? That new "space" game they made is different and poo poo.

I don't understand why they tinker with mechanics that are proven to work and are popular. Are they afraid better graphics are not going to be enough to charge people 60$ ? Chess has been the same for 1000 years. Battle Chess was a good improvement !

I'd give that for a general updated version with modern quality of life stuff, better borders, some general overall improvements and tweaks. Ok well $30.

Ffh2 makes regular civ 4 look like the kiddy pool, and civ 4 is clearly the best vanilla civ game.

ffh2 was the only time i ever saw an AI in civ 4 actually pursue a domination victory (and they got it, too)

standard civ 4 AI only actively tries to get space and culture. they can get diplomatic on accident

im encouraged by the fact that the lead devs on 5 said 'yeah there were issues here they were we're gonna do something about that next time' instead of just doubling down on mechanics that didn't really work that well like most other devs would

5 is still really fun though

i agree, 4 was the probably the best but 5 was also fun, and i bet 6 is going to be at least as good as 5. well, that's my review.

The amount of time modders spent making FFH2 was mind-blowing. I don't think people have the attention span to do something like that for free anymore. Even when newer games try to encourage modding, there is nothing remotely on that scale.

Civ 4 was the golden era of gaming.

Also while Civ 4 was very good I think 5 is so much more streamlined that I've sunk close to 500 hours on it as opposed to 3 or so games on Civ 4.
