  • RON could topple Civ

    If the play is fun and it is not impossible to make it to the advanced ages in less than 20 straight days of playtime (my biggest gripe about Civ3), then this game has the potential to knock off the Civ dynasty. Which, I am sure, is not MS objective .......

    The one thing that is bugging me is that the maps look TINY. Otherwise, RON looks more like a genre unto itself. If it topples civ, well maybe thats deserved. Don't get me wrong I love civ3, but, survival of the fittest and evolution and all, I thought Firaxis could do no wrong after SMAC, but it was certainly devolution when they made civ3.

          Hmmmm

          Well, an hour is about all I have, even at home, but I don't mind using the save game feature either. I just hate banging my head against the wall for 15 hours only to have the AI beat me to a critical development that effectively ends the game.

            Whether or not RoN topples Civ, I believe it will force the turn-based strategy world to respond. The best response may not come from Firaxis.

                All reports are that RoN offers many game variants and options allowing players to vary standard game length. At the recent Fragapalooza event in Toronto Paul Stephanouk told VGM Fusion that RoN’s single-player Conquer the World campaign is designed to provide about 50-60 hours of gameplay.

                  I bet that RON is going to be the next big thing in the civ world.
                  I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

                    No doubt about it.

                    It will be quite interesting to see which forum is busiest at this time next year.

                            Welcome to the club . For me this ridiculizes the civs, look, in the place where we see two small pine forests we can build 4 civs 2000 years history.

                              Given that Civ3 has the complexity of tic-tac-toe, I'm rather looking forward to RoN. I have supreme confidence in BR.
