I'm just impressed that for the first time in gaming history a game was announced with a release date of later in the year, and then was actually released on time.

Edit: Actually now that I think about it sports games and Call Of Duty are never delayed. :shrug:

i'm just wondering why they're releasing another alpha centauri as though Civ in Space is something new

in another 15 years are they gonna reskin Civ12 into an exraterresrial planet and pretend like they havent ever done it before again?

also wtf is the point of even setting a game in space if you're stuck on a single planet. How is that in space?

A new Civ game that has fewer features than you can get by buying an older game and all its expansions for much less? Pshaw.
A new Civ game that has fewer features after one expansion than older games had at launch? Pshaw.

Glad I can just reskin all these Civ 5 jokes.

two things turned me off of civ 5, that was how long games took even on the 'Quick' setting (like half a fuckin day unless you military rushed and then you don't get to see most of the game), and just how loving annoying managing workers was because putting them on automate turns them into retards

also it took the computer AIs a lot longer to 'think' as you got into the game, even with a very good rig

is any of this addressed at all

Turns seem faster now but there is a million more things to manage (orbit and ground) and like 10 skill trees I dunno

It's like alpha centauri in that they mostly reskinned a Civ of the same era to be on an alien planet, but Alpha Centauri reskinned a better civ game.

I will not try to destroy you for your opinion, as i do not care about civ 5 in any way, though I cannot speak the same of other imps.

It tries and fails to be, it succeeds in being a mod for civ 5 for better or worse, I'm about 2 hours in

civ 5 was better than civ 4 because hexes are better and one unit per space is better, imo

That's a fair opinion. A lot of people argue about whether 4 or 5 is better but IMO 2 is still best.

pretty much never because they gutted the modability of their games to a really restrictive API
