Just wondering if there were any other civilization fanatics here? I've only played civ 4 and civ 3 but i can happily say that they are both epic games.
I fealt that civ 4 was rushed. Civ 5 WAS ENTIRELY TO DUMBED DOWN! I fealt like a fucking retard playing it. I hated having huge flashing FUCKING buttons taking up the screen. I think it screwed over the young people that were raised off of the original civs that were excited about civ 5, until they saw it looked like a children's coloring book. But to this end Civ 3 remains my favorite one. But another thing I would of thought by civ 4 they would of made the time scaling a bit more realistic, but I was wrong.
Civ 4 allows you to mod the game to set the time scale to whatever you like. Someone has probably already done it over at civ fanatic's.
