Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[France (DoE)]

To RP, officially from the French .... (although to be honest, I am not sure why it was suggested. But a good trout slap never hurt anyone, so there you go.)

As to civ5, sorry, I do not get that one more turn feeling. I also hate one unit per tile. So much for combined arms. And a regiment now has frontage of 120 kilometres (my guess). Trying to paste tactical style warfare onto a strategic map was just dumb, IMHO. I would have preferred something like 'Total War'. And no pitboss or pbem capability ....

I like Civ5. It has flaws, but it still gives me that "just one more turn" feel. My old computer ran it kind of slow (civ4 can be slow too) so now that it is fried I am looking forward to seeing things move quicker on my new rig (when it arrives). I think it is worth getting, just don't go into it thinking "omg, computer gaming is going to change forever" and you'll like it just fine.

I agree, I get that one more turn feeling but that's the problem!! I hate SP and haven't got the time to play with myself. I hate the simplified micro management - no surprise there I guess BUT it is still enjoyable. I hadn't played it for months but had a go yesterday and it was cool - being Australia Day and a public holiday but i'd be scared to fire it up on other days as I'd get nothing done! AND I'M semi-retired!!!!

The Civ4 MP diplos keep me busy enough and are more enjoyable.

If I'm capable: yes

I'm sorry for slacking a huge bit...

[OzzyKP]

Will we get December's correct vote tally before January voting begins?

[Inca (DoE)]

Oh, yes, Inca at war with England. Not sure who went first.

[China (DoE)]

I did my best to get into CiV and just couldn't. I may try again but for now CivIV is just too good to beat!

[Robert]

1. Japan
2. Mongolia

[Japan (DoE)]

Japan is officially at war with Mongolia not too sure which order i'm in though.

[Inca (DoE)]

I was on a laptop with integrated graphics before that just barely played 4, so it was a no-go.

[Russia (DoE)]

Played with it few days and disliked it. Never gone to it again. The general sentiment of people, who tried it more in-depth is that it is dumbed down and absolute failure. Mass returning of players from 5 to 4 occurs in the last few months. BTW, it is not too greedy about computer power - my 4 years old computer with 2 years old videocard ran it just ok.

[Inca (DoE)]

OT: how many people here are actively playing CiV? Considering getting it now that I have a proper gaming rig, but not sure it's worth the money tbh with what I've heard.

[Inca (DoE)]

Inca know of advanced technology called "adblock" though. Inca immune to profit-generation. Inca will donate at end of game if someone reminds them to, though, because Inca generous.
