Civ should be real-time

[Oligarf]

I think the turn-based system of Civilization slows down the game. A real-time approach would force players to make smart fast decisions. Multi-player possibilities on the Internet would be more exciting too. Now you have to wait and wait. Time limiting destroys the fun too, at a certain moment I was able only doing half the things I wanted to do when I were in a multiplay game. I think it should be or should become an option in Civ III or Civ IV.

Agree?

You should be perma-:banned: for this

The only excuse you have is that you are a settler who do not know much about Civ and Apolyton...

[Skanky Burns]

Definately NO!

I play different games for different reasons. If i want to play a 'faster' game relying on fast smart decisions, then ill play a RT game like Quake or Starcraft. If i feel like a 'slower' game, then ill play something like Civ. To suddenly diverge the Civ style game into essentially two different games would spoil the Civ feeling of the game and make the development of the game much more complex.

Civ is a thinking game.

Real-time? Go play Starcraft.

Why would you want to change a classic turn-based game into a rts? Civilization practically invented turn-based strategy games and there has been no equal to the Civ series except for SMAC which was also made by Sid Meier. Civilization is known for being turn-based not rts.

Well if it was real-time, it just wouldn't be civ. Not that I am against producing a god game that spanned the whole of human history that was real time, it would be quite a good idea of executed correctly. But it wouldn't be civ, and civ has it's own niche...

[Cyclotron]

Aren't you a little late? Not to mention, clueless about the very idea of civ?

[tniem]

Empire Earth is going to try and take a RT to the whole of human history. But it appears to be a similar game to other RTS where you start out in an era of your picking and then you have to pay to upgrade to the next epoch.

Meanwhile, MOO3 is going to bridge TBS and RTS. We will see how it works but Civ is Civ and should stay TBS.

[Marcus Agrippa]

So Starcraft is the sterotype RT game everyone brings up in here? lol

I prefer Age of Empires II myself. I do agree with the status quo, however, on Civ being best as a TB game.

[Inverse Icarus]

Starcraft
Age of Empires II
Red Alert II
The Moon Project
Warcraft II Battlenet Edition

is what i have on ym computer right now

[isaac brock]

No, no no, a thousand times no! If you people want your crappy age of empires, you can play that all day and talk on AoE forums. I like my civ turn-based, thant you very much.

Boo this man!
