#Civ4

[thebestpartofwakingup]

I used to play civ 4 a lot (eh moderate amount) in high school and my main was Alexander the Great and I really liked playing with standard - larger sized maps and I swear to god every time I played a game where America spawned into the world they were in last place the ENTIRE game.

Every.

Single.

Time.

One time I even accidentally made an American Diaspora by defeating all the American cities/land but for some reason this didn’t trigger the game to recognize America as an extinct civilization and instead kept George Washington on the board as a leader of a landless civilization with the lowest possible score

I had my bear-rider on sentry and it kept waking up. Apparently the smell of that little penguin was too delicious.

Anyone else still thinking about civ 4?

No... just me?

My PC is so pathetic that playing Civ4 crashed it, god bless </3

Everyone's talking about the house bill denouncing socialism and how it's GOP political grandstanding and a show of democratic cowardice/bootlicking and I just keep thinking about how in Civ 5 denouncement is a "piss everyone off" button that's pretty much just used to generate a casus belli

and unfortunately yeah that's probably the point

Heres a foetal sighialmr.. drag him over your desktop and watch in awe as he sits on anything

Also i was listening to a video game music playlist while drawing this and the song baba yetu from the civ4 trailerstart playing and i started picturing this imaege crossfading over a video of the majestic african savannah and it made me laugh

big sad that I can't seem to functionally play Civ3 on my new computer. yes I know it's the world's oldest game but I bought it on Steam and it's supposed to be functional and it makes me feel calm to play it in a way the newer versions of the game don't

the game actually plays fine but when I go to play it, the Windows 11 taskbar refuses to hide and disappear and cuts off some pretty vital shit at the bottom and I have spent hours trying to find a fix only for none of them to work :(

it's lame man I've been playing this game for... *checks* 22 years now and it just finally went kaput

Civ4 and Civ5 I never got into. I played 1-3 and Colonization

last movie: Likely whatever the most recent Star Wars move was. I really don't watch movies often.

sweet/savory/spicy: Sweet :)

currently working on: Mirrorverse, drabbles, reviewing fics, playing civ4, and outlining a bunch of fics. Let it not be said that I'm idle on the weekends.

tagging: No one. Do this tag thing if you wish.

Turn based tactics games in general are extremely popular. Haven't tried this one yet but it's on my list. The designer of the original XCOM recently released Phoenix Point. The designer of Fall From Heaven made Fallen Enchantress and I think a modern Star Control remake.

#The challenge of the very might heroes of might and magic v series#

It's designed around reducing end game slowdown by limiting the number of orders you can place each turn, mechanically you play a series of leaders who can only give out so many orders and have to manage their dynasty, Crusader Kings style. The Lead Designer of Civ 4 just released Old World. Just of the game designers you mentioned: These games never stopped and are arguably better than ever. It's just not my scene.īut turn-based games like HoMM and Civ are so rare these days it makes me sad. To me it was a different kind of game that focused on APS (actions per second). I'd really hoped they'd make a standalone game or a new version but I believe the creator now works at another game company.

Plus once you got ranged/siege units to range 3 I felt like it was game over.Īnyway, the big thing that kept me on Civ4 wasn't the base game it was a player mod called Fall From heaven 2. It still had the stack of doom problem but the solution added in Civ5 (one unit per hex and hexes were also new) I found to be just annoying as it forced a dance to get units placed. They just added isometric view and even more micro-management (IMHO).īut that all changed with Civ4. I didn't really play Civ2 and Civ3 as much. I can literally recall waking up at noon, starting up Civ1 and then looking out and it was dark. The other two games of this genre I played a ton were Civ1 and Civ4. I loved the tactical combat and that resource management didn't get out of hand. I played HoMM2 and (even moreso) 3 a ton. I yearn for the days of turn-based strategy games. To this day I play roughly 4-5 games: Dota 2, Civilization 5, Baldur's Gate 1&2 EE and Heroes 3. Heroes 5 is the closest to Heroes 3 as mechanics and gameplay, and I enjoyed it a lot. Honorable mentions besides Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - Heroes of Might and Magic 4 (with all expansions) and Heroes of Might and Magic 5 (all expansions - Tribes of the east). I play heroes 3 complete edition with HD Mod to this day, a pretty awesome game, and still has an excellent, thriving community. This was a fan-made extension of the game that fixed some stuff ( like Eagle Eye being useful, fishing for artifacts in mana well's, having commanders ala heroes 4, having a bank from which you can loan money, etc.). Then in university, I discovered Wake of Gods. Then 1999, I got ahold of Heroes 3, then the expansions - Armageddon's Blade, Shadow of Death - so much fun and unforgettable memories. I remember the first time I encountered the game in some obscure Italian magazine that had a disc and on the disc a demo of HoMM 2.
