    Same man. I just bought civ 6 and i am bored already after 4 hours....There is something lacking. Units can't stack so it makes moving them very annoying, and the leaders have 0 personalities. One of the things i loved about revolution were the character design and overall interface and art

    Pro tip: in the “money is what matters” you can just laser focus on developing technology, then discover all other civilizations as quickly as possible, the cheese all of them into giving you a good chunk of their gold in exchange for what’s essentially early game technologies, giving yourself a major upper hand as you have a lot more money to do stuff quick while they lack the necessary funds to match you.

    Yep, the NPC nations get a massive production bonus, but no trade bonus. Unless you can geographically dominate the map's production, it's just easier to use money and science to beat them.

    I have so many fond memories of how hilariously bizarre some things were in this game. My favorite memory will always be skipping through dialogue with Napoleon, only to then see the cultural advisor shoo him away, and watching him lose his balance and actually fall off the screen, while the advisor hogs up his space to remind you that war is a waste of time and that we should be focusing on improving our culture.

    I’ve played civs 3-6 a lot. But civ rev got me into the series and it is a great game. The feeling of discovery when you stumble across an ancient artefact .The fun music when you find a tribal village or build a wonder. And when you win and you get to explore your palace and see all the wonders and great people you’ve acquired. The civilopedia was really fun to go through as well. I don’t know why the mainline games didn’t add pictures and videos along as well.

    I have been playing this game all this time, almost daily, since it came out. I play it when I'm listening to podcasts, or audio books. At one point my PS3 blew up with the disc inside it, so I had to buy another PS3, and another copy of the game. I just had to buy new controllers for the second one, because one doesn't hold a charge, and the other the stick leans upward, which is annoying. I love how every nation is balanced by the fact that they are all unbalanced. It makes replay interesting, due to the over powered nation bonuses.
