Hey guys, I just recently grabbed Civilisation V off Steam, gotta say I'm having a blast. I'm usually a fan of more faster paced RTS games like StarCraft Brood War, AoE 2 and Red Alert 3, however, I'm enjoying my first foray into turn-based strategy.

Just about to finish my second match, playing as Russia, I've got one more nation to conquer with my Modern Era army, hehehe.

Lovin' the music too, great stuff to do study to I'm finding :)

Anyone got any good Civ stories? Conquests? Nearly snatched away victories? Any thoughts on past titles in the series?

PS. I'm an Aussie, so I go 's' instead of 'z' in the title.

Awesome!



Have you played Alpha Centauri? If yes, could you tell me in comparison if the game is anything reminiscent of that or is it less/more complex?


How difficult is it? The novice level of AC was manageable, the third was about pissing blood. The last three were inspirations for suicide.

You've certainly enlightened me some more about the series, I'd never heard of Alpha Centauri until you mentioned it just now. It sounds pretty awesome, especially seeing as the same people made it.

In terms of difficulty, it ranges from level 1 to level 9 I think; my first game was on level 2 and I steamrolled with that even though I was still learning the game. My current match is on level 4, and I hard to work fairly hard to get on top. Basically I'm struggling to see how any approach other than annihilating everyone via military conquest is viable, but on my next playthrough I might see if I can win via a tech or culture victory using the same difficulty level.
