Rate Opinion: Civilization Like Web Based Games

Original at osg1.com external link    Tue, Jan 12

By olivergodfreed His label of “Civilization Like Web Based Games” is interesting to me. That’s a pretty unwieldy name for a genre. The more technical name would probably be Browser Based Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy Games, which is also quite cumbersome, and thus I shorten it to OSG!

By BrenoK So, what is it about? Advanced Civilization is pretty much a game of negotiation and logistics. You move your pieces around in order to build cities and thus be able to draw more cards and, after trading, be able to buy technologies (VPs). That's the essence of it. There's more added to it, of co...

By Blackfaer For those unfamiliar with the game, it was developed by a few of the members of the team working on Civilization IV computer games, and was loosely based on the computer game.
