Civilization V

Unread post by Saturo »

Just two days left to release...

Anyone else here like the Civilization series? I started playing in III and loved it, and then tried out the two earlier ones too. I've been playing IV since it's release, on an almsot daily basis. Anyone else a fan?

It's the only game more addictive than WoW for me. I mean, I play WoW regularly for 1-3 hours at a time. I can't count the number of times I've played Civ and suddenly realised it's 5AM and I've been conquering the Babylonians for 11 hours or something.

I have played since the early days. I play IV off and on these days and for nostalgia's sake, I played two and three recently just for fun. Before I got married, it was a game of choice. After I got married, it became a guilty pleasure much harder to get into than wow. At least in wow, I can do something like a daily and log off. You start a game of Civ IV, especially on slow game speed, and its a significant time investment.

As I played the old civ games and then of course IV, I noticed some trends away from some of the simplistic playstyles of the older games that made them so wonderful. I still play Master of Orion and Master of Magic from time to time still and I have to use an old DOS emulator to do it, but they are still as awesome as back in the day... and still as addictive :P.

On that note, does anyone here play Dwarf Fortress?
I don't really feel like this is so much the "Post-Modern" era as much as its the "Pre-Zombie-Apocalpse" era. I consider myself more of a forward thinking guy and an era that just won't die is just as feasible as a coming era, where the dead come back.
