My Civilization 5 Preview

from GalCiv2 Forums

The Civilization series is probably one of the best that PC Gaming has ever known. Ask any strategy gamer about it and the odds are that he has played at least one of the Civilization titles during his gaming life time, or at least a Sid Meier’s title (Railroad Tycoon, Alpha Centauri, Colonization, Pirates and many more).

I invite you to read my Preview of Civilization 5 at SpaceSector.com: http://www.spacesector.com/blog/2010/03/sid-meiers-civilization-v-preview/

Enjoy!

Cheers

Love the review.

 

The shots of Civ 1-4 side by side are neat. It started with squares, went to isometric squares and finally back to ordinary squares again. Having played them all it was a little nostalgia trip ^_^'

Now the map its in hezagons, which means less two movement possibilites. And now there are no more stacks of units but single units por hexagon. One source of iron allows 1 swordsman unit, further sources of Iron allow the creation of one more unit. These are not minor modifications, I'm curious to see how they are going to pull this off.

This is one of the few games I would buy without checking a forum or a review. In CIV I trust.

Really looking forward to this.  I heard Brad was going to do some modding work on Civ as well, should be fantastic.

Strange, all the games I'm really into have work put into them by the same group of people: Civ, DemiGod, SupCom.

Thanks for the preview!

I'm also excited for Civ 5. I like the tactical-influencing changes to maps and units, and giving resources control more impact. I worry about the removal of religion and esponage, and after Revolution, I have some fears about the series losing some depth.... but time will tell.
