Civilization V - like crack to an addict

Yah I love this game. I'll get to playing it then look up and 8 hours have passed

I try to stagger my approach to advancing. I almost never get to Classical and Medieval eras first but parlay my peacemongering advantage into tech-ing up into the Industrial/Modern. The game is also quite cruel in its distribution of resources, some games I won't have a single damn iron resource and I peer into my neighbors territory and see that he/she has two +6 iron resources.

I think Prince is the difficulty where the AI advantage isn't overwhelming. Sometimes I just get a spawn next to two aggressive civilizations and then get bombarded with barbarians and then find out I have no good resources. I can handle everything but being handicapped by lack of resources, it seems like everything that is good prior to the industrial era requires iron.

Considering getting the Xbox version, civ revolution. Seems decent? Satisfy my rts itch...

Or maybe tropico

I liked the xbox version.

Picked up V and played it a couple times. After playing Revolution, it took me a while to get used to the slower game play.

Now that I'm out of books to read at the moment, it's time to play an epic match during the nights.

where' momo?

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks bros

Yea I think I'm going to follow that approach in my next game. I've found that allying with City States helps out a lot, particularly when they have resources you don't have.

I always go back to II. It's my favorite version.

I usually play on the lower to medium difficulties. The harder levels require too much micromanagement and it takes away from the enjoyment. I usually try to get my government to Democracy as soon as possible for the productivity boost. Then I build the UN so other civs have to accept my treaties or cease fires, and I can maintain a small defensive military while I build my spaceship.
