Yeah, I think it was 3 I stopped with.  The Vikings and the Berserker were my fave.  I assume Civ 5 is the incredible time-sink the older ones are.  Maybe when I retire.

I play 4 a lot more than 5 (because the mods....seriously, Caveman2Cosmos is one of the greatest things ever).  There is a lot of good with 5.  I've been meaning to get the expansion packs for years, but now with 6 coming out in October, I probably never will.

(yes, Civ 6 comes out in October....the same day as Battlefield 1 comes out, the new WWI first person shooter from EA/DICE)


My default nation when I play Civ games is Germany.  Italy, the US and Japan are other popular choices.  There are 180+ different leaders (from 41 different nations) in Caveman2Cosmos.

Alexander should be the leader of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

Greece's leader should be Homer.

But there isn't a Macedonian nation in the game, and you have to have Alexander in the game.  It's not that much of a stretch to put him as the leader of the Greeks.

I just made the transition from 3 to 5 a couple months ago, so I'm still experimenting around. Right now I'm working on England and liking it a lot.

The AI is so horribly bad at war in 5 that it basically makes it unplayable.  Once you've got a couple of archer/crossbowman properly promoted you've pretty much won.

Has anyone played the WWII mod for Civ5?  It's pretty damn good, but doesn't really have replayability.  My current game I'm Greece and accidentally on purpose declared war on Turkey in late '38...which made every major power in the game declare war on me.  Eventually I made peace with France/UK, but I'm still fighting the Soviets with mixed success.  But my shenanigans also caused Germany and Italy to go to war with each other for some reason, so it's not going well for the Axis at all.  The western front has stalled where it started and the Soviets have surrounded Berlin, but I've marched into Ukraine and all the way to Crimea.  I'm considering seeing how hard it will be for the Greeks to take Stalingrad, but I'll likely just keep to my original plan of circling the Black Sea and hoping to keep the Soviets at bay until peace breaks out.

I've only played IV, but I've found Spanish works the best for me.

I actually tend to use fan-created civs just for variety. There's a user over on the CivFanatics board named JFD who has a bunch of great custom civs.

Of the default civs, I enjoy playing as Korea because of their science bonus.

Civ III is my favorite, followed by Civ IV. Civ IV has the best game intro ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoLYa6kSDrU


The first scenario I ever played with Civ III was The Roman Empire way back in 2004. But I have played Russia the most, followed by America. Same goes for Civ IV. THe first time I played as Russia in late 2004/early 2005 was the only time I managed to successfully complete the spaceship in Civ III.


Of this list, I would include those as well as the Byzantines. One of my favorite scenarios in the EU series.

If I want to win, Austrian because they're the best.

Otherwise, Venice.
