Luftwaffles Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 PXOD Gods and Kings game? I'm in the same boat as FLD, barely played it since buying it in the last sale (I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Epic pace is the way to go. When I first bought it, I would go for super long games. They'd take me an entire week to get through. It was awesome for about a month. But nowadays, I tend to go for shorter ones otherwise I lose interest in the late game and just feel like starting over. Last one I played, I won in a single 6-ish hours sitting.

deanb Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'd be up for some Civ V in future. Haven't done MP in a while, was always fun. Especially with the accidental declaring of 10 turn peace by one of the newbies. And yeah I've not touched Gods n Kings, I think Ethan actually bought it for me :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Didn't we try to do Civ V multi once and it kept fucking up so much that we all kinda got frustrated and quit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Civ V multi has been done many times. It does sometimes not like certain people hosting, though I think past few times have gone fine except for tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 If I play can all of you leave me alone so I can thrive being peaceful? Probably not but hey, it's worth a shot asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I was involved in one game that kinda petered out just cause it was taking so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Peaceful is how most of us play it I think. Then suddenly one giant super army because people have been building alliances in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yeah, I tend to take an approach like the US at the beginning of WWII: not much of a standing army, but if I get attacked my entire industrial machine switches to military production. It works better against computers than humans though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I will play a mutliplayer Civ V game, so long as it is on a weeknight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) July 9 in the US, July 12 everywhere else. Crossing those internet oceans takes a while, presumably because they have to take longer routes to avoid pirates. *Edit* - Also, apparently that thing about it having XCOM units is official, and not a mod like I assumed.

toxicitizen Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah, that's pretty awesome. It's very late game, though. Kinda like the giant mech, which I don't think I've ever even made it to. This might be the thing that convinces me to go back to playing epic-length games. I think I'll try to dig into Gods & Kings a bit more after my finals. I want to get Brave New World at launch but I really need to get more out of G&K to justify buying it day one.

TheMightyEthan Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I've made it to the tech level of giant mechs, but I don't think I've ever actually built one because they're not great against cities and by that point in the game if I have a massive army it's because I'm trying to conquer the world.

toxicitizen Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/04/12/impressions-civ-v-brave-new-world/ Looking pretty good. Seems like much more of a game changer than G&K was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Oooh, able to trade resources. Many times I've been "damn , I've so much food/production in this city, wish I could send it elsewhere. (I'm sure in older games you could send civilians from one city to another). Mainly like G&K the biggest change is making certain victories more viable. Shame I've yet to have a chance in MP to actually put the G&K stuff to use in a full game, should really make an SP scenario to play through.

Mason stomped us and we only got about 75% of the way through, but there was religion stuff involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah it'd be the "only 75% of the way through". I've been playing with some IRL guys of late too, still yet to actually hit end game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) That's kind of the problem with Civ multiplayer. The more people you have, the more complicated it is to play the game to the end. Unless you finish in a single sitting, I guess, but that could be long as hell.

TheMightyEthan Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah, I've thought since Civ V came out that there should be some kind of resource sharing between cities connected by a trade route. It never made sense to me that one city might be starving when it's got a direct road link to another city with +10 food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 More gameplay. Just starting it now so I can't say whether it's good or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I think we all need to plan for one day this summer of nothing but Civ V. It'd be nice to actually set a date weeks if not a month in advance and everybody reserving that day for some good Gandhi nukes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I second this idea. I guess any who'd want to join can make them selves be known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I haven't played much of Civ anything, but I do own Civ V and I will join in on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
