I have it, it's a pretty good game but I haven't played online yet. The game takes so long that it'd be pretty hard to play online unless against mates.

i would imagine i would be hard alright but i would say its good. you have to be settled in for the night to play a game of it online. if you want to add me i will give you a game some time my psn tag is the same as my xbox one below. there might be an under score between the names not sure.

yeah i'm not that good either i'm still playing it on the easiest level.

RoryMac

I usually play the next one up, once you go to the 3rd level, things go badly wrong quickly. You'd just build your first catapult then over the hill comes 10 panzer tanks to anhilate you

Indie18

i played one game on the second level up and just barely one it with an economic victory. i will have to try the hardest level for the laugh.

RoryMac

Alright I'll keep an eye out for ya

RoryMac

I'll try to get on-line later but I've an early start tomo so not sure if I'll have enough time for a game of CIV

Indie18

correct me if i'm wrong here but did there not used to be a civ forum on the games part of this site.

DeVore

There was but it makes more sense to divide things by platform for this game.

btw, not bragging but I've walloped this game up to and including Emperor (second from top level). Its really pretty easy once you cop the tactics and also.... buy archers.

it's definatly easier than the civ games on the pc but i like it i think the pace of the game works well for playing on a console.

I don't know, I think it's a little too fast IMO. I always loved this on the PC, and when I tried it the first time on the easiest level, I couldn't believe when I had finished it in one sitting of about 3 hours. Even on Easy I'd still expect a game to run on for a while, I prefer to finish it at my own pace (i.e. race to space or military victory only).

Moved onto the 3rd highest level (I think) and it's slightly better, but only because after a while you're at War with everyone else at basically the same time and it can be slightly difficult holding on to newly captured areas when you're getting attacked on 5 fronts.

Gonna play the Hardest Level soon and see if it's any good.

I've also never played on-line either, but I may give it a whirl.

Archers are the must, early on.

Seriously though, if you have any tech at all and still have loads of lower level fighters. Do not waste them but build Leonardo's Workshop Wonder.

I was losing my capital last night. Was down to two armies of losers and hey presto Modern Infiltry (with all the power ups the losers had gotten early on)

Went on to win after that turn around

Might be worth your while looking at the Scenarios

i know what you mean about it being over too quick but i don't mind that mainly because its a console version of the game and it's made in a relativly quick fix kind of way. i still play on pc for something with a bit more dept(mind you still only playing civ 3 haven't gotten round to getting 4)but i really like civ rev for what it is.

weeder

got this for 360, prefer it over the other civs and rome:tw and other turn based strategys simply because it is less complex and easier to get into

DeVore

Its a board game. Its not a Civilisation game (note the capitalisation). This is a tight, fast, nasty, cut-throat game and you need to plan each step closely to not get your ass handed to you on either the warfare, culture, tech or money front. If your opponent is going warfare hardcore, build some pikemen/archers/infantry and let him crash against your walls, all the time upgrading your units for you
Meanwhile, build temples and cathedrals and watch his lovely cities join you.
Or tech fast to catapults or canons and wipe him out in one wave while he desperately tries to catch up.

Its a game. That means you need to adapt to your opponents strategy and out manouver them.

I tried the demo for this off the PSN, and being big Civ fan, didn't like it. I prefer the pace of the PC games and just felt like I was being shuffled from menu to menu here with a bit too much hand-holding.

Ste05

Yeah the strategies are good, although as with all Civ games, Tech is most important IMO. Get ahead on tech and you'll fly it, only problem is then all the others start begging off you and obviously when you refuse them they all declare War on you... ha ha ha, bring it on!!

Also, Leonardo's Workshop certainly is the Dogs Bollix...
