[QUOTE="Jupp, post: 2744361, member: 20804"] I am playing the Civ series now since about 13 years or so including Colonization and Railroad Tycoon. The first one was Civ1 on the Amiga and I dunno how many hours I have "wasted" by playing those games but I imagine it is a heckuvalot :) To me Civ4 is a perfect improvement over Civ2 because I never really liked the micromanagement of Civ3, which I didn't play for too long. Most games I've played have been Civ1 and 2. But now with Civ4 I can finally have pretty graphics while sending my civ down the gutter :D Having religion in the game does change the game alot and some tactics that were valid in civ1-3 are not longer working, and the different mindsets and philosophies of the different rulers are just great to play with/against. Now you really have to adjust your strategy depending who your neighbour nation is. All in all Civ got a tad harder to beat and a fair bit more complex. You have to watch over all aspects of the game while in older versions of Civ you were able to somehow ignore those aspects you didnt like. Overall I would give this game a rating of 9/10...I'll leave that 1 point for Civ5 since if it would be a perfect 10 there wouldnt be a next Civ ;) [/QUOTE]
