Lots of games use other games engines to build their game on. Games like XCom, Borderlands, and Gears of War, and Mass Effect all used the Unreal engine and are not "Unreal" mods. Is it going to look similar and have a playstyle similar to the Civ series? Yes. Is it a completely designed game with different concepts? Yes. But after reading about it, it sounds like Civ5 mod, just made to look more professional. | ||

Yes. then its definitely a MOD = MODIFICATION, customization (like skins) modification of civ5's parameters.... tweaking everything else that it looked like a brand new... example; barbarian = worms, iron = dilithium crystals???, terrain (civ5) = terrain (beyond) all using the same civ5 engine enough of that justification.... we want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! want to see more slimy worms and cool weapons lol at all wormkind basically a stronger version of barbarian here (more like a homegrown planetary civ by defualt) worms vs you vs ai, now thats more like it never played that alpha centuary thing.... i bet miss something great T_T | ||

Satellites = ???, customizable units = ????, not having a linear tech tree, etc If anything its porting Alpha Centauri onto the Civ 5 platform...but even then its really not the same. It should be somewhat fresh, somewhat typical Civ concepts. | ||

Alpha Centauri was not Civilization in space. It was much more...sophisticated. I know it wasn't 3D... The best part of Alpha Centauri was the quotations from the faction leaders on researches and secret projects that displayed a forward-thinking look at the philosophy of the past and present projected into the future and taken to extremes. I'm not convinced they can pull that off again in this day and age. | ||

It should be somewhat fresh, somewhat typical Civ concepts. of course it doesn't have the same equal grounds; maybe satellies = airplanes, customizable units = same as civ units.... im talking about from a computer programming point of view on tweaking on a same civ5 engine and not the programming language/engine itself variable a = variable b you already stressed porting into civ5 platform that's the exact point... it wouldn't be called like a civ5 mod if it doesn't have a striking resemblance on civ5.... example, its like this c++ = the main programming software civ5 = window xp civ beyond = windows xp (but customized skins on all; new color and design on menu, bars and such) civ 4 = windows 98 (im just stressing the different os here as example) civ 2 = windows vista (im just stressing the different os here as example) all major civ editions (example civ 1, civ 2, civ 5 and so on) are the same but different same as windows 98, xp, vista etc.... but as for civ beyond you cant clearly classify as to what and where... a clear example would be they didn't classify it as part of civ 5 and civ6... therefore, an entirely new game but same as civ5... i hope you get what i mean i didn't get to experience and enjoy the SMAC.... now its time CANT WAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT~ On April 15 2014 03:06 deth2munkies wrote: This is literally Civ 6 but in space. as a whole you cant officially call it part of civ5 and civ6.... it is somewhat in between... totally new; more like SMAC On April 15 2014 05:06 -Archangel- wrote: Well it still beats playing one more game of Civ 5 (which I finished like 4-5 times), but if it will cost same as full Civ 5 then I will skip it. Even a mod made by Firaxis themselves is still a mod and should be priced as one (a price of an expansion). from what i read it's 50$ | ||

Civ III was so terrible, but Civ IV was okay, better with expo, great with both expos. I saw everything missing on Civ 5 and think I got it on Steam with both expos for way less than $50. Was still a fun game, but I definitely felt like five should be better than 4 out of the box and it wasn't. This one though...its going to be so radically different that it will be hard for me to wait. | ||
