Wish I'd never sold my copy of Civ I  >:(

Dang man.  That's like having sold a first press Judas Priest album back in the day.   :(
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I used to have Civ I on NES.  Fond memories.
Yeah, well this game is gonna leave you seriously short of fond memories. It needs some major fixes and my bet is that the devs are too impressed with their own cleverness to fix the stuff that needs changing.

Oh yeah based on what people have been saying both here and elsewhere I won't get this game.

I note that the average review on Steam has dropped from "Mostly Positive" to "Mixed". I have seen no indication that Amplitude plans to address the issues that bothered me the most.

Nope. Still gathering dust, I have not seen that Amplitude fix the way they had wars and some other stuff set up. If they have, let me know. I found "Old World" to be a better civ-game.

^Thanks. I love Old World and will be playing it again soon, lots of updates to it since I last played. I do suck at it though  :ThumbsUp:

What was it about the wars that irked you?
