    RTCiv

    Looks like with the modability of the Civ IV there is a chance that may be real time game mods are possible. So I would like to discuss what Civ in real time or RTCiv could look like.

    What I do not RTCiv to become is RON, which is more or less typically RTS game. What I want to come up is civ type of gameplay but in real time. Do you think it is possible? What do you think can be done better in RTCiv that can not be done in TBS? What ideas do you have? Should we start collecting ideas for potential mod?

    Doesn't sound like a good idea.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

        Very bad idea. It would have to be on the scale of 5 cities at most, otherwise its a clickfest.

        To be quite honest, I'm worried enough about simultaneous turns.

          modding in RT combat sounds crazy, that doesn't seem like it would be easy, or small. why mix genres anyways?

            Bad idea indeed. To me, at least.

            I don't want to play by reflex! I like to take my time, eat a sandwich, get a smoke, come back and see... Why I would like to ruin all the fun?

              [SIZE=1] Why mix genres anyways?
              To have something new. Why most RTS now have elements of RPG? Why can't Civ game have RT component?

              As I see, I am in minority, but I do want to see the civ type game in RT, because our life IS in RT! There are excellent RT city building games. Why can't we have good Civ building game?

              EU is in RT, do you think it is a bad game? Is it a click fest?

              The combat can be slow and expensive, thus it will happen rare and will not be a click fest.

              I also think that the problem of large number of cites can be avoided - just put governor or have a way to unite several cities into a region and work with the regions, not individual cites.

              I understand that if you directly copy the civ mechanics into RT, that would suck, but this is why I have this topic. What do you think has to be changed in order to have enjoyable game in RT?

                  Good idea, MxM. Something like Paradox games (Europa Universalis, Victoria...) would be perfect.

                      I'll keep an open mind, but I can't think of anything to aid your development.

                        good point,but life happans at a slow enough speed that strategy can be created and its not a clickfest(or for some people it is anyhow)

                        its just when you can build to the modern age in 30 minutes something is wacked with the speed.

                        Something like Paradox games (Europa Universalis, Victoria...) would be perfect.

                          MxM was only putting an idea for a mod forth.

                          If you don't like it, ignore the mod. Constant "no way should civ be RTS" posts seem to do nothing but clutter this thread.

                          He didn't ask if anyone thinks civ4 should be RTS, just wanted to talk to those interested in such a mod.

                          sheesh.
