i could be wrong, but it seems to me this has changed somewhat. In prior Civ games, expansion was so necessary that anything that delayed your second city even a turn would cascade.
Anyway, I found it really interesting. I don't know that I think it's obvious, but I'll always move if I see a better location from my start location. Regardless of effectiveness, I hate the idea that my capital will be underpowered. The absolute worst feeling is a series of finding more optimal locations. I start in a really crappy place. I move one square to a better one but that reveals an even better spot, etc..- Uite

Civ V is pretty shitty and boring, imo. 1UPT just breaks too many things, and the AI is terrible. On the other hand I love playing OCC, and that's never been easier than in Civ V.
I've mostly played Civ 1, 2 and SMAC, skipped over 3, and never really got into 4, even though I really really should...
Oh, and CivRev for the DS is a pretty neat little portable distillation of everything that makes Civ great![ɜytə] — Ceterum censeo spumam delendam esse

I am super excited for Beyond Earth.
But sadly, my personal laptop doesn't have a separate GPU, so it can't even run Civ V. This means I either have to play on my work computer (which is fine until I get a new job) or I don't get to play Civ anymore. SAD DAY. I'm going to build a desktop eventually, but haven't started yet.Current Avatar: Kronk. Duh.- xRECKONERx

The tutorials are quite good, to be fair.In post 111, xRECKONERx wrote:I always think about booting up Civ5 then I get scared because it's such a massive game and I don't understand every mechanic at play.
As for tall/wide - i almost always go tall - I've never successfully gone wide (except for domination victories where I just roflstomp all)Trans rights are human rights.- Ythan

Start simple, scale up with progressive games. It's daunting but also the most rewarding gaming experience I've ever found.In post 111, xRECKONERx wrote:I always think about booting up Civ5 then I get scared because it's such a massive game and I don't understand every mechanic at play.- quadz08
