I'm a fan of the Civilization series, and 5 is one of the best. As well as forging your own Empire, the new expansion Gods and Kings allows you to create your own religions.

I must say, founding the church of Baconology was a very feelgood moment. Victory can be gained through Culture, Technology, Diplomacy, or just plain Conquest.

And the best thing in Civilization is its music.

Check that out. Feels so patriotic.

i plan to get the expansion at some point, though I havent gotten around to it yet. probably I should also find some better way of cooling down my laptop, as playing civ for too long (and lets face it, the game is addictive enought to ensure this happens) woud pretty much cause all the damn plastic to melt.

I just make sure my laptop is propped up so that air can flow and so far so good.

I just love Civilization. I seem to have less and less time to play it though.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

I really like it, but I'm not sure if I like it more than 4. I dislike that you can't trade technology anymore, nor share world maps. It seems more combat oriented and less diplomatic... yet you can no longer stack units.

Thus, I am undecided.

Too busy with Disgaea and Duke Nukem Forever at the moment though.

the thing i miss the most is having great general lead units, though i have taken to keepign a great general or two on hand and havign the rest build citadels near my cities.

i like the hexes, and the not stackign units is great. that plus cities being able to defend themselves make defending your territory much less stressful. the ranged combat, nonsensical as it is on the map's scale, is also nice, and i find myself actually using a navy to bombard cities

Started over maybe I'll do better with my characters and the item world this time.

I feel ashamed that on this one I lost to mid-boss the first time... :(

Been constantly switching between playing TOR, this and Saints Row the Third lately. Guess I've been enjoying short random games of things.
