stripeyfox Posted 6 August 2013 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danizen Posted 8 August 2013 Share Posted 8 August 2013 Civilization Revolution is a stripped back version for the Xbox. It's more fun, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearfox Posted 8 August 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Chee Posted 11 August 2013 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwin Posted 11 August 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 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..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripeyfox Posted 13 August 2013 Share 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?

shearfox Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 I have this game and enjoyed the tutorial but it is bloody hard I'm always behind on everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 8 September 2014 Share 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!

stripeyfox Posted 8 September 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripeyfox Posted 28 September 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 28 September 2015 Share Posted 28 September 2015 don't get Beyond Earth, it's pretty horrendous. Stick with V and know what's good for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading doesn't seem as good but maybe I've just not got the hang of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenny_fox Posted 29 September 2015 Share 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 .
