Civ 3 is comfy as fuck, played a shit ton it. Tried to get back into it, but alas I found it to old. If they remade Civ 3 today that would be great

>>38703025
Don't bother, AI is fucked.

It cheats, blatantly and constantly.

A lifelong ally will suddenly declare war on you with one unit and demand YOU pay for peace.

Lots of other general fuck ups which spoil the game.

IF they fix the AI it would be great but it's been out a while now and they haven't so sadly I don't think they will.

civ 5 is much better than 6
The civics system in 6 sucks and it's overcomplicated for no reason
The UI in 6 is extremely sluggish and doesn't register input sometimes
religion is handled a little better in 6 but it becomes a potential win condition that is a pain in the ass to stop
can't spam wonders in 6 because they each take up a hex and have very specific land requirements

I've had a legacy challenge going on for a while now. Out of the maybe 13 sims I've played with, I'd say about 10 are really interesting and I tried to make each one unique.

After playing CIV4 first I could never get into 3, even though there are some things I know 3 did better than 4 (like dealing with doom stacks better)
The main selling point of 5 was that it got rid of stacks completely and made warfare much more interesting and maybe even immersive. But they also removed a lot of the depth and features that 4 had, most notably being diplomacy and city management. 5 just felt too simplified and easy to play and win, and games even on epic could last for maybe only a day or two. Civ4 games would have you spending a week tops doing daily several hour sessions before finishing an epic-speed game. I'm not saying 5 is a bad game because it really isn't, I've spent thousands of hours playing it, it's just that while 5 did some things better, 4 did more.
Not to mention that Civ4 modded (with shit like caveman2cosmos or rise of mankind) is without a fucking doubt the most amazing and immersive and in-depth 4x experience you will ever fucking have. Nothing beats it.

Stay the fuck away from Civ6 unless you want shitty ai, shitty graphics, and SJW garbage. The game is fucking bare-bones and honesty pathetic.

>>38702955

I'd rec it. I never played 3 much but a lot of people seem to think it's great. It's worth a quick torrent and playthrough imo.

I play it in a very specific way too, not just normally. I have a level 27 faith build character that's permanently in the Undead Settlement. When I want to relax, I throw down a summon sign and act as a tour guide for new players in the area. I show them all the little secrets, I heal them, I lead them all over. It's fun to help them so much, and they usually thank me for being so nice.

On top of that, my character is a Mercy cosplay build and the armor set she has on is late game armor (Painting guardian set, the defense is shit but it looks good for her) so I have a ton of late game gear and boss weapons that I don't want, but I had to get while running to my late game armor set. If someone is extra nice and tries to protect me during fights (low vigor, only about 15 or so), I'll leave them some nice present like a boss weapon or a cool armor set. It's fun, I don't even care if it's twinking or something, I enjoy helping them.

Civ III is top comfy for a grand strategy game, wonderfully technical yet enchanting and insane replay value.

Currently on a total war Shogun 2 kick but mostly just because i got bored with the combat in civ

and >>38703458 there is no reason to build a courthouse there since the city can't even grow enough to ever be productive. to save upkeep, only build improvements in cities that serve a purpose like your core productive cities around your capital that can mass produce troops with relatively little corruption, all other cities should just get libraries (regardless of how corrupt they are, they can always generate culture for you and expand your borders) and then switch over to wealth.

What are all your opinions on Cities: Skylines?

>>38702955

Civ 3 had a much comfier aesthetic, although Civ 4 had much better gameplay imo. The corruption shield loss and pikemen beating tanks thing just became too much for me for civ 3.

>>38707583
Emperor was fucking amazing. I think it was from the Sierra city building series, which also had Pharaoh and Caesar, but Emperor was the best. I remember whole warehouses full of carved jade and lacquerware, building docks so that foreign trade partners could pick it up, and having like 4-5 forts (getting all the weapons etc. for it) and sending the companies off to expeditions just to get smashed by the Liao. Those games were crazy educational as a 10 year old, almost as complex as paradox games.

>>38707998

Emperor was also good because they did away with labor walkers, thus no need to pop down a lone house in an industrial district so they would have workers.

>>38707998
to be honest the same shit with pikeman beating tanks still happened in 4.
A big problem with playing on lower difficulties was that you'd tech up so quickly that the game would become a cakewalk. But the higher the difficulty you went, the ai didn't get smarter they just got gibs and the player got handicapped, thus ruining the immersion.

>>38707998
>>38708066
You can patch the whole pikemen beating tanks things yourself, just make the stats of modern units far above that of medieval units. It can still happen occasion, but if a tank has 50+ attack against a pikeman/musketman then it's going to win regardless of any terrain modifiers.

>>38707998
I'm pretty sure that was the whole reason for the combat overhaul in Civ 5.

oldschool runescape is the comfiest/robot-tier game out there

>>38708066

>the higher the difficulty you went, the ai didn't get smarter they just got gibs and the player got handicapped, thus ruining the immersion.
That's how increasing the difficulty works in every single Civ game, they all have shit tier AI

>>38708443
actually you can solo an arma boss task with chins, since you can attack the minion and the damage will splash to the boss. Assuming you don't get boned with drops, you can reliably make profit.

>>38708420
too bad the newer ones arent as good

>>38703261
Any strategy game against AI is just exploiting the computer's mismanaged priorities with the same techniques over and over to compensate for how much it cheats. Literally anyone can beat the hardest difficulty AI in any empire game just by googling a handful of techniques.

I really don't understand the appeal in these things.

>>38707094
I played Runescape every day for about 5 years. I was shit at the game and basically got to level 107 combat, with pretty decent well-rounded stats.

Before I quit I went on a hacking rampage, got a remote admin tool from hack forums & a java driveby set up. Went through the game recruiting people into my "clan". Made them join my "screenshare" (the drive by) and then once they dled the RAT I would turn on their webcam and watch their face while I unloaded their bank. Did this to probably 50+ people, and finally achieved my long term goal: to quit the game with a partyhat.

Holy shit, someone else on this shitty earth that still plays civIII. That is my favorite game of all time. I have 2k hours on it

How the fuck is the traffic not backed up? I can't ever get a city with smooth running streets because I'll be backed up to the highway and often a good portion of it is just cars waiting.

I think I just focus on industry too much but I always leave it apart from the rest too, a lot of the time it's the shops getting their shipments and I think ambulances blocking up streets.

Good game but fuck buying all the DLC

It's been over a year since I played League now but I still open up the client, update my runes and masteries, read up on the meta a little, then get too intimidated to enter a game and exit.

Civ 2 was the best and everyone who thinks otherwise knows nothing about the civ series.

>>38709818
I play a lot of ARAM (less stress but idiots like to fling themselves), I miss Dominion though.

If it's still there try the Dark Star Singularity, just lower your enemies health then use E to fling them into the middle. First time I tried it I got 47 then 53 points because no one was focusing on lowering HP.
