  • Now that Firaxis owns Civ what will happen?

    It seems the guys who make EU, EU2, Victoria, Crusader Kings, and all have just bought the rights to the Civ franchise. Do any of you see massive changes making Civ more like EU2?

          Whoah! You must not scare me like this! Paradox is supreme, Firaxis is good, but together I'm afraid they'd have problems, the games' too different.

            Hang on. What is this really? Paradox bought Civ, Firaxis bought EU, Firaxis somehow didn't HAVE civ already and bought it, or nothing at all?

              This is all too confusing.

              Who extactly bought the rights to CIV?

              Lets start there first and foremost.

                AFAIK, noone knows. But it certainly wasn't Paradox.

                  I ask because sometimes when a company sells out it goes downhill

                    EU(2) is certainly worth it.

                    Oerdin (curse his very name!) just got the wrong company and scared some of us.
                    Atari apparently sold the license to Civilization. I'm not sure anyone really knows to whom.

                    Nothing to do with Paradox or any of the games they produce apparently, other than some (rather far-fetched) speculation that Paradox may have bought it.

                      EU2 is a fantastic game.

                      I hope Victoria is, but Virtual Programming seem to have messed up with my order.

                      I'm sure they'll sort it out soon.

                          Vicky is pretty cool, but you definately need the VIP mod. It's also pretty complex, and the manual ain't fer **** and there's no tutorial.

                          If you wanna learn you have to go to the forums, pick a subject, read up on it, play the game a little bit, then go back to the forums and pick a new subject. The most important thing to learn is POP management, and I haven't figured it out yet.

                            Well, VP have fixed their problems and I am downloading the game now. Guess I won't be posting much tonight.
