Games are supposed to take ages to play out. It's a turn system like every other Civ game. You're meant to hit every tech and building in that one play through.Finray wrote:
It's not that aite. I uninstalled it. Games take WAY too long, even on 'quick' mode. Turn system gets boring, if you enable the timer you always forget to move one troop, you'll hit every tech and building on one playthrough from ancient age to future age, which I did, and have no replay value left. The interaction with different people is stale, and it seems the only way of swaying their opinion of you is to shower them in gold.
Nukes are shit.

To him, skill is all wrists, not brains. While Civ is all brains, no wrists. As such, he thinks it's ghey.

It's an opinion, brah, I think it sucks. I'm sure there's games you don't like that others do. Does that make them bad still?UnkleRukus wrote:

No, you obviously spent 0.0003 minutes learning to play and 4 hours beating your keyboard because the game wouldn't do what you wanted it too.Finray wrote:

Sure, it's probably a good game, if you like it, but if you don't like it it sucks.
E: Also there's no real 'thinking' involved, against bots, at least, it takes forever and an age (pun intended) to amass any sort of army, so you can research every technology, not like you have to choose what's going to work for you. And once you've researched all those technologies, it's just build lots of the best units you can, rush to the enemies base, put melee infront of ranged, game over.

Exactly my point. Way to undermine your whole post.Cybargs wrote:

If your point was that the game takes no skill, then why do you suck at it and bitch about how bad it is?Finray wrote:

You got any proof? For all we know you did it on the easiest difficulty.Finray wrote:
Where did you get the impression I sucked at it? I steamrolled the first couple of games I played (4 and 5 difficulty) then got bored of it.
I didn't undermine anything. This is NO learning curve. A FPS has a learning curve because you have to learn to aim, shoot, use tactics etc properly. The Civ series takes no actual motor skill, rather thinking skill, you're not suddenly going to think better because you played the game a lot. Everything in Civ tells you in WRITING what it does and acts accordingly. If a unit says it has 5 strength and goes up against a 3 strength unit, you know your odds are that you are going to win. Of course then you take into account the bonuses, weaknesses and other factors but the fact is, they are ALL right there in front of you. The only "skill" the game requires is the ability to read. The part that sets players apart is intelligence and a strategic mindset and if you don't have that coming in, you aren't going to develop it anytime soon.Finray wrote:
