08.11.23 | I can really only speak to V but particularly with the Vox Populi-Community Balance Patch mod suite. It's incomparable to vanilla honestly with so many fixes upgrades and cracked amount of new mechanics and content.
I'll have to give VI another shot now that it's been a few years. Also know a lot of people feel like you about 4 but I kinda hate the square grid, viscerally so |

08.11.23 | Yeah try 6 again. Now that I’ve been some time into it I sort of understand the mechanics. It’s just all bonuses and and multipliers and fucking eureka moments and shit.
I’ll have to try that mod for 5. I hated 5 for the longest time but similar to 6 just gotta put some time in |

08.11.23 | 3 will always be my favorite |

08.11.23 | 2 gold is my nostalgia favorite too. Those custom maps were so fucking cool |

08.11.23 | I’ve always wanted to play this but it seems so overwhelmingly complex |
widowslaugh123
08.11.23 | They are definitely too much at first and there is a lot of micromanagement involved but there are so many different ways to play and win that it becomes part of the fun
If you aren’t into super specific details you could just play on low difficulty and smash everyone with swordsman or whatever |

08.11.23 | Recently got big into 6 and I love the depth of it, complicated yeah but I really wanted to get into it and took the time to look up a lot of stuff on youtube which helped a ton.
Also shoutout to arguably the best modern videogame theme song. Every time I boot that puppy up I get a stupid smile for how good The Dream of Flight is. |

08.11.23 | Yeah 6 has arguably the most depth of the series. The amount of paths you can take is nuts. I wonder what approach they will take for 7 |

08.11.23 | I’ve been on my culture victory shit lately, way harder than science or military for me |
widowslaugh123
08.11.23 | Yeah I do like that about 6. In 4 at least like 90 percent of victories were military or science. Culture victories are so hard and take so much time in 4. In 6 culture holds a lot of weight and culture and diplomatic victories are actually viable |

08.11.23 | you're missing beyond earth bro. I must know where you rate that one |
Galbador
08.11.23 | You need to mod civ6 to work and look like civ5 to fully enjoy it. What a fun design. Dlscs make the game thou just like the previous ones. |
widowslaugh123
08.11.23 | Oh shit calc I forgot/never played beyond earth! It’s similar right but you are just civilizing space?
Yeah galbador the dlcs are always the best parts. Gotta admit although no one plays civ for the graphics 5’s graphics were so fucking cool definitely the best on the series and it’s not close |
Calc
08.12.23 | it's similar but there are some differences. there were factions that catered to different playstyles and the fauna of the planet played a major role in ending the game. people generally didn't like it but it held me over for 50-60 hours before I went back to Civ 4 lol |

08.12.23 | I've only ever played the first one. Loved that game |
widowslaugh123
08.12.23 | I think my dad played 1 when I was really young but I don’t really remember it. I just kinda always assumed it sucked for some reason |
fogza
08.13.23 | Nah it was great, especially for time. I wasted many hours on that game, as I did with Master of Orion. Gotta love the 4x |

08.13.23 | 6 is solid. the qol changes from 5 (roads being built by traders instead of builders, as well as them costing gold, was infuriating). the phone-quality graphics of 6 are kind of annoying

09.16.23 | Almost perfect list - you have good taste. I'd put 3 ahead of 2, but identical besides that. |
