Just started this yesterday. I like some of the new mechanics, multi-tile cities especially. That AI though... declares war on you for no reason. In my first game, five AI players decided to declare war on me out of the blue within the space of three turns. This was in the early game and there was no obvious reason for it. Some of them didn't even border me, and I was no military threat at that time. In the second ga…

Yeah I've seen Quill18 on Twitter mention how much the AI so far builds settlers but never links them to military units. I hope it'll be fixed soon.

it's fun to try comming up with plausable arguments as to why the ai is dumb. like "they sent off a bunch of settlers as sacrifical lambs to help delay your aggressive expansion/incursion into their sphere of influence"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you want to go into overdrive, try Europa Universalis 4. It's basically Civilization, turned up a notch.

I'd say it more like compare an arcade flight sim to a hardcore military flight sim. From a distance one might just look like a more advanced version of the other, but they're fundamentally very different games that appeal to different audiences (despite there being some obvious overlap).

I would like to see a remastered Colonization. Colonization IMO is way more original than Civilization and one of the best games ever made.

There is a Civilization IV: Colonization ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_IV:_Colonization ). I found it to be a terrible remake compared to my memories of the old Colonization, though those may be rose-tinted at this point.

Yes, that just plays basically as a Civ IV scenario, not a real Colonization game.

Perhaps it's because my introduction to the Civ series was made by the original Colonization, but for me that will always be the most addicting of all the Civ series.

Every time a civ game is released, people forget how every previous civ game release has gone. Namely; 1. Release shiny game with bugs and performance issues. 2. Release major update to fix issues. 3. Release a balance and UI tweak patch. 4. Release a free content patch alongside some DLC.

I wonder when will they make a real sequel to Alpha Centauri. I think it is still the best Civilization game out there. For me Beyond Earth seemed like a bland reskin. In AC you could terraform, do social engineering and design your own units. I havent seen something like that ever since.

The restricted numbers of moves git to me in Beyond Earth.
