I have III and IV, but have heard very mixed things about V.


What say you?

It's okay. There are bugs that need to be worked out. The game gets REALLY REALLY bogged down with a lot of units/city-states/countries on the map. Even running on a good machine it will eventually bog down the further into a game you get.

Doesn't sound like a resounding vote of confidence...

I really enjoy Civ V. The war strategy and tile setup is superior to Civ IV.

Civ IV is a better traditional Civ experience with more depth (religions, corporations with the exp's)

Civ V has the hex tiles and only one unit per tile which leads to more strategy in warfare other than just send a mass in a single tile and kill everything.


I haven't played either game in awhile, been playing RPG's mostly, but the AI wasn't very good at the new strategic warfare in Civ V. I never experienced them putting their archers behind their troops consistently to get the siege advantage in an assault.


Is is a good and fun game? Yes.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

I like it, it takes away the need to have armies into the hundreds/thousands of units to start and maintain an invasion of a country.

or keep massive armies defending key cities/choke points.

it slows down some in endgame.

the fix for that destroy some nations before you get to endgame

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I never had a problem with it bogging down.

I thought it was a fun game to play, different from Civ 4, but still fun.

The World is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything.

Had a good time with it actually. It is probably the most complete Civ yet.

No stacks of death in Civ V, which is a good thing.

I had a good time with it.

It's only real issue at this point is that the AI isn't very good at war.
