i've read quite a few succession games, but never participated, so why not change that now? so if Your Wiseness still has some space in his roster, i'd like to join.

I've played some Civ3&4, and although i never played on a higher level than prince (and wasn't overly successful there), but i think i have enough common sense to not ruin our empire

I might play in later ones but I need to raise my own skill so I don't become too much of a liability in one of these. Plus I don't exactly have the time right now but I'll gladly follow along and catch up on the better players of TL showcasing their Civ 5 skills :D

Hey guys, I'd love to do a succession game with you but is Civ 5 worth it so far? I'm still playing CIV 4. :p

Oh my God, yesssssss

I nearly shat myself when I could actually use my archers to assault a city safely from two tiles away while my Legionnaires did work up front. The combat is far more intricate and strategic, not just stack 50 tanks and basically 1a into your opponents tile of equal number of tanks and hope for the RNG to win. Stuff like flanks, outranging, etc. actually come into account in battles. As well as terrain, so forth. It's so amazing. Other than that, it might as well be Civ 4. Roads take significantly longer to build though, I've noticed.

As well with the addition of city states, it adds a whole new flavor to the game.

Yeah, I think its a lot better than Civ 4 because you need actual 'strategy'. Units are far from expendable- each one counts for quite a lot. Losing a unit is like a kick to the face, so the tactics are so much more involved. Civ 4 combat was simple, and if you brokered enough techs you may as well not even bother with it, and just win diplomatically or something. Here, I feel you actually have to work for things.

I loved Civ4, don't get me wrong.. but this is a breath of fresh air. I wouldn't even compare the two games if they didn't have "civ-like" franchise elements. They are completely different games, and thus, if anything, that means its worth a try.

Exactly, I hate to reiterate but it's apple and oranges, this and Civ 4. Both require different skill sets in my opinion in two different respects. Every unit counts so much, I have to repeat that because it's so freaking true. Late game, it's not 50 tanks and 50 helicopter stacks fighting each other. It's more like, I'll have a city and you'll have a city so I'll send 5-6 battleships to bombard, and 3 tanks with 4 infantry groups with an artillery to push. While you'll put three artillery's by a ledge with some tanks on high ground, and get an aircraft carrier to attack my battleships. I mean, it's so much smaller scale and everything has to be doing something. And there is even attack bonuses, as I've stated, if you flank your enemies or have high ground, etc. No amount of infantry will beat a tank on a hill that is fortified, I guarantee you that.


EDIT: Wow, I just found out something nifty. Roads, as I've said, take significantly longer to build. Just to build from my main to my second town, it took like 20 turns to build a connecting road. But what I just found out is, you can build "trade posts" throughout your area and if you connect your towns roads to it, that's all you need. Like I put one square in the middle of my little zone, and built smaller roads to the trade post that only took like 5 turns to make and it was far more efficient in the long run.

Civ 4 is still in my top 5 favorite games, in fact I'm still playing it. I played a quick game where I just legion rushed people as Rome and got a quick Dom victory on Settler (just for the lolz) and now I'm continuing my Civ 4 game from last night. They're both completely different games, essentially, and that's just my take on it.

I'd like to participate in this. I have the preload ready but I don't think I'll have the game until friday.

I voted random/regular on almost everything, but I kind of regret not voting for earth on map-type.

Anyways, I'm going to pass this one up. I still want to get fully acquainted with the game before I start anything fancy like this. It'll be fun to watch though!

I was for the last 4 hours, haha.. Taking a break now, though. Will be doing more tomorrow, be on the look out. I've found the right settings to allow a smooth stream/recording of the first turns of our succession game, as well.

Actually, I think we might have enough people to get this started pretty early if we'd like, assuming the first ~7 or so people (who would take until at least Friday I imagine, for the rest to come in) have unlocked their games already. Thoughts?

edit: Poll removed. Game will start tomorrow- let me know when is most convenient if you wanted to watch!

Waiting until friday to start makes the most sense IMO, although you could just make it so that the people that already have the game play their turns first. Either will work.

Man, I've been playing this game a lot already. Havent really gotten past turn 200 because I'm not either not finishing games or playing against less opponents, but it will surely be interesting to see how far we can get with this!

I say start as soon as possible - I'm wanting this game to get going so I can get some preview snack from your posts. Once euro release comes on friday, us limey euro bastards can start our own game, no?

So I'm still playing my first game, loving it so far. It seems like there aren't bonuses for exploring the entire map/circumnavigating the globe in this one, is that correct?

I'm actually not sure everyone knows how long succession games take. Sometimes they're lucky to have a player play their turn each day. With that in mind, I've made the decision to start tomorrow (Thursday.) Given that only a few of us will have played by then, the player list hopefully won't ruin in to any Europeans before it releases for them.. If it does, I wont give them the evil eye, I'll just adjust their position on the list so that they have first dibs after Friday.

What's the time difference between me (gmt -5) and any Europeans interested in watching the first ~40 turns on the stream? I'll run the stream whenever is convenient for most participants who are interested in watching, and maybe participating via chat for any big, important early decisions, and to celebrate as we see which Civ we end up randoming!
