Some "Post Civ V revisited campaign" thoughts Posted: 09 Aug 2021 09:17 AM PDT Recently I thought what the hell let's start up Civ V after I dont even know how many years of lying dormant in my Steam library. After discovering EU4 I can assure you I hadn't played it since. So I set the game timer to the longest choice, set the difficulty to a challenging "3" and commenced as Oda Nobunaga. The Pros: it's easy to understand this game right off the bat. But that doesn't mean there aren't a few more layers of complexity deeper. It's not close to Eu4 however. It's aesethically pleasing if not a bit cartoonish. I like each great power having a distinct ability. Road networks are an interesting idea. The idea of cultural or science victory over domination makes different strategies viable. There's always something going on, you're always just a few turns away from something else happening be it a building or a tech or a policy. The rock paper scissors military is easier to grasp at first than fire pips shock pips morale and discipline. The Cons: much of what Civ V does well Eu4 does better. Great power traits are just national ideas. Strategic/luxury resources exist in both games but I like the execution more in eu4 as they aren't expendable. And let's get to the big one here. DIPLOMACY. Civ V is nearly unplayable if you expect the AI to offer a rewarding experience diplomatically. You thought Great Britain was useless as a war power? Try needing the AI to help you in Civ V. Utter garbage. Alliances? No they are declarations of friendship and they constantly expire. And the nations are completely unpredictable, love you one day and denounce you the next. Then they will ask for open borders despite hating your guts. And if you have friends in this game they will likely ask you for half of your treasury because they've fallen on hard times. If you refuse, they will hold it against you forever. Then there is the war system. You have no barometer for your war performance other than how you think you're doing. I massacred dozens of Chinese armies in my game and took two cities near mine and they would not accept a white peace for several dozen turns. The whole diplo system is arcane and oblique. I do realize the irony in calling a mechanic arcane in comparison to EU4 but the diplo was by far the least enjoyable part of this game. Civ V seems to be a game made to be played with others while EU4 offers a better single player experience. Leviathan may be disappointing but I would still much prefer to play this game than Civ. That's not to say "Civ bad EU4 good" though. To those that have played it how does Civ 6 compare? submitted by /u/xStaabOnMyKnobx [link] [comments]
