Civilization

By craniac As we finished, Joey came upstairs and saw us ending our game and demanded that I play a game with him. I told him it would have to wait until the morning, so at 7:30 this morning as I staggered out of bed we began another game. Joey didn't totally understand the relationship between goods and coi...

By Asperamanca I've always loved Civ games. Civilization brought me to board games. Vinci promised to be in the same vein, but left me unsatisfied. I've read about Sid Meier's Civilization: The Boardgame and Tempus, and decided they were not for me. Antike scratched the expansion and conquest itch, but fel...

By Darkmot History of Ages(Prelude) Then again, could I say myself that I am a Civilization gamer if I've never tried the game who start it all? The game who also inspired the legendary Sid Meier himself to create his amazing series? The Civilization/Advanced Civilization?

By ALGO Cards? But where's my Tech Tree?=== Icons? What Icons?====== That doesn't sound like a Civ game!==== Is it just Multiplayer Solitaire?====== For those wanting something along those lines I'd recommend Twilight Imperium (it even has a tech tree!) though the theme is very different.

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 noreply@blogger.com (JohnH) The novelty of being able to play Civilization on a pocket-sized device got to me, and I bought Civilization Revolution for my DS. The result is rather good, excellent even, but it also suffers from a number of irritating little lacks, lacks that result from the developers not taking the DS...

By filwi Cards are printed on heavy, plastic stock so they should last for a long, long time. The game designer (Sid Meyer) and the rock icon (Elvis) cards have gotten new graphics to avoid infringement and copyright issues (possibly there's been some threatening noises from Elvis's estate's law...

By jonas Sid Meier has credibility for a reason. This is the best RTS we've played on a console, bar none.

By Clive Thompson I know it's possible. Hell, I've watched and rewatched the YouTube videos of the 14-year-olds who've done it in Sid Meier's new game, Civilization Revolution. The guttural roar of the ICBM taking off, the flare of the missile as it arcs slowly across the sky, the terrifying rumble in your Xb...

By NojNosredna I recently attended the BPA Con and had the opportunity to play this game twice, well more than twice but I didn't take the third. Prior to attending I had high hopes for TTA, it seemed to fit with kind of thing I liked. I love Advanced Civ, I've played Civ I-IV on the computer almost religiously s...

By sbarrera The game follows the basic outline of any civilization game. You move stuff on the board, maybe you fight some battles, you get money, and you build stuff and buy technology. Technology determines capabilities like how big you can make your cities, or what military units you can build.

By sbarrera Another interesting balance is the one between population and taxation. The same counters are used to represent people and money (they are flipped over when cities are taxed). It is necessary to manage this counter supply well, because you need population on the map to support your cities...

By blog@acton.org (Jordan J. Ballor) It took awhile, but after its release in 2005, the latest installment of the popular computer game Civilization IV was received warmly by many cultural commentators. Civilization IV, or CivIV for short, was hailed alternatively as “a video game for the ages,” and “a kind of social-scien...

By Luke Plunkett It Works: Yes. Civilization on a console works. Nearly everything about the game – from controls to tech tree progression to unit and building production has seen radical changes (more on that to come), but at its heart, this is still Civilization. It still feels like Civilization, it still...

By hancock.tom Maybe I am a greedy gamer, but where the hell is the map? What kind of civ game doesn't have a map? WHERE IS MY CIVILIZATION LOCATED? When I read that this was a civ game without a map, I thought, oh great, here comes an overly abstracted piece of shit that claims to be civ but actually plays more l...

By Odinsday Building and developing buildings, population and military is also relatively simple... you need a worker free to work in your new mine, for example, so you spend food to expand the population, and resources to build a new mine for him to work in.

By Pum_ I really really like the Francis Tresham's original Civilization game. In fact my only problem with it is the length of time it takes to play - other than that it's brilliant!

By Gamer_Dog I like so-called “gamers games” which are medium weight or heavy games with a lot of strategic depth. I like virtually all the recommended games that come up in its entry, so I went ahead and bought it without having a chance to play it. Components ∙ board warping ∙ box smell Gameplay

By jens_hoppe Among the myriad of other civ games I have played after Civilization, I have never found one to capture the essence of that classic.
