stripeyfox Posted 6 August 2013 Posted 6 August 2013 Just released a new expansion pack for this - "Brave New World". It has added a lot to the game. Really enjoying this at the moment, although I will confess to not really knowing what I'm doing. Anyone else playing it?
Danizen Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Civilization Revolution is a stripped back version for the Xbox. It's more fun, I think.
Guest shearfox Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Got this game during the summer sale on steam, it is fantastic but I can see that it requires a lot of time.
Jonny Chee Posted 11 August 2013 Author Posted 11 August 2013 Got back into playing this after a LONG break due to being pretty disappointed with the game initially. However, after a couple of expansions, it is starting to be the game it always should have been. Currently playing at 'Immortal' level.
Ozwin Posted 11 August 2013 Posted 11 August 2013 I bought Brave New World the other day, I daren't start a game because I'll be up until 6am every night for a week.

It is certainly very engrossing. I started a BNW game with the Vikings and have been playing as much as I can. Went to war with the Austrians but it didn't go well and ended in a stalemate. Probably just wait until I discover nukes and then bomb them back to the Stone Age. All joking apart, I have just formed the first worlds congress (new in BNW) as I was the first civ to discover all the others on the map. Very interesting balancing politics,economics and military strategy. Now, back to that Manhattan project.....
MPH Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 did I read somewhere that one of the earlier civilizations was available as a free download?
Jonny Chee Posted 13 August 2013 Author Posted 13 August 2013 Going for my first 'Deity' difficulty level win currently playing as Babylon. Off to a good start so far....
stripeyfox Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 Going for my first 'Deity' difficulty level win currently playing as Babylon. Off to a good start so far.... I haven't yet ventured up the skill levels as in trying to complete a game first. I'm in the 19th century now and appear to be ahead on technology, gold, culture etc. The French are pissing me off - should I go to war with them for the sake of it?

Guest shearfox Posted 18 August 2013 Posted 18 August 2013 I have this game and enjoyed the tutorial but it is bloody hard I'm always behind on everything
stripeyfox Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 Decided to fire this up again last week and have been hooked again ever since. Gradually building my smaller empire (only three cities). Having on going problems with Barbarians stealing my workers but have finally completed a road linking my cities and amassing gold and culture at a good rate. No military action yet, as I think the other civs are ahead of me technologically (or at least some of them are). Forgot how engaging this game can be!
Jon the Hat Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 They should release a Game of thrones pack. That would be cool!
Kent Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 Yeah this thing can kill some time pretty easily.
Finnegan Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 They should release a Game of thrones pack. That would be cool! Is there no mod on Steam?
The Doctor Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 There is -http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=128722076 Nothing more fun than starting a nuclear war with gandhi though
stripeyfox Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 i just tried the mod and it crashed Looks like it used to work but no longer does after the Civ updates and is no longer being supported by the developer. Shame
stripeyfox Posted 28 September 2015 Posted 28 September 2015 So, really got back into playing this recently. I think I am further in to a game than I ever have been before. Getting used to the combat on the hex grid now as well... Anyone got the new one "Beyond Earth"? Thoughts?
The Horse's Mouth Posted 28 September 2015 Posted 28 September 2015 don't get Beyond Earth, it's pretty horrendous. Stick with V and know what's good for you

Trading doesn't seem as good but maybe I've just not got the hang of that.
glenny_fox Posted 29 September 2015 Posted 29 September 2015 I really didn't get on with Beyond Earth. They did some good things on it but seemed like they were lazy with a lot of the development. stick with V. got about 100 hours gameplay and still never actually finished a game on it .
