| It was actually a tad more engaging than Warlock, Fallen Enchantress, or Eador none of which I could take in more than 1 hour chunks.
The UI is still such a terrible step back from Civ 4 and so much information should be easier to get. You feel like Homer Simpson demanding THERE NEEDS TO BE A HORN HERE HERE HERE AND HERE. There is no longer and option to display tile yields at all times! You can only select an option to display them only when a civilian unit is selected! No more strategic resources icons! You have to pick them out from all the blended in terrain features! Just TRY to spot the difference between miasma and marsh and xenophage! In addition to strategic resources, there are other minor resources that enable a special building in that city only. Titanium is a strategic resource, but not other metals. Xenophage is a strategic resource, but not or rislin or chitin. GOT THAT? Everything is poorly explained by the tutorial hints, even if you select the newbiest "I'm new to Civilization". It's like they expect you to read a manual or some shit. The Civlopedia no longer has any topic links. You have to click on questions like it's an RPG dialog tree, I fucking shit you not. Ditching civics for the retarded virtue skill tree was such an idiotic move. Sometimes my ranged units cannot fire at enemies within range, for no discernible reason. Air units seem to disappear if you ever give them a command. I have yet to ever find an air unit after I tell it to sleep, sweep, or intercept. None of the tech WEB icons give you any at a glance hint at what they do. You have to mouse over every single icon until you find the one that enables you to mine one specific resource. A new resource is named Firaxim that looks exactly like the Firaxis logo. Why not just call it Sid Meirium and make you mine it out of Mount Rushmore sized monuments of his face? I'll take Civ 4's stack of doom over Civ 5's traffic jam any day, especially with this miasma shit everywhere killing your units that are already too cramped. Worst of all, the AI is unforgivably retarded. I had a skeleton military and was still able to defend a city from 10 enemy units with only 1. The AI always sues for peace when it thinks it can't win, so it declares war on me, invades with overwhelming numbers that get traffic jammed, bumps around while My city shoots him up, and then surrenders offering me huge sums of money. You can exploit this by declaring war on an AI located on the other side of the world. I guess because of the distance it will "sense" that it's not winning and will quickly sue for peace offering you tribute, including free cities! So sad. |
