As a rule it's even numbered civs that are good. Looking forward to Civ VI, maybe it won't be a **** sandwich.

Good. You're probably only old enough to remember CIV. Done parroting yet ?

First Civ I played was Civ2, around release. Later I discovered Civ1 and played that extensively too. I was 14 when I joined Poly in 2000, so when Civ2 came out I could barely understand what happened.

I played Civ 2 a bunch but it was long after it was released.

Miss those FMV advisors

Civ 4 was an absolute delight after BtS came out.

Best game in the entire series. It used to be Civ2MP but Civ4 with the expansions put it over the top into first place.

Civ IV complete is like 30 bucks and very worth it.

$29.99 on steam and if you buy it during one of the steam sales then I've seen it for $14.95.

I originally got Civ1 when a friend of mine let me download a hacked copy from a local hacker BBS when we were in middle school. This was before the internet because popular so people used local BBSes which you had to dial into on a modem.

I got complete not too long ago on e-bay for about 12 bucks (still in original wrapping unopened). It's nice to have the real discs. I've installed it on quite a few machines so I don't have to worry about playing MP and being limited by steam.

bloody Steam, good job Rah

There are MANY things wrong with Civ V. And Steam is one of them.

[self biased]

actually, and i hate to admit it but...

now that i've purchased all the expansion packs, civ 5 isn't all that ****ty. there are still the flaws present with the 1upt design (which the AI cannot handle), but the game is now enjoyable overall i think. I'm still annoyed that we don't have an actual globe and we're forced to play on a cylinder, but the social policy tree makes a modicum more sense when you don't need it to win a cultural victory.

also, ming/rah, i want in on your next MP game. i miss playing with y'all.

i don't understand the steam hate at all. as far as DRM goes, it's probably the least offensive and then there's this:

civ is still played at our home, My second son was playing the first and handing him his butt apparently, last weekend

Civ 1 = Star Trek 1
Civ 2 = Wrath of Khan
Civ 3 = Search for Spock
Civ 4 = The Voyage Home
Civ 5 = Star Trek V.

Civ 6 = The Undiscovered Country!

Also, I like how the all time best trek movie coincides with Civ2. 4 was a fun, light heared romp. 3 nobody liked it as much, but it was actually decent. 5 was a dumpster fire.

Civ5 with the XPs are quite decent.
