parallel context point of reference friday march 15 2024 point of reference if there s one game that i play more than any other it s sid meier s civilization iv what you expected an mmo wow maybe oh no not by a long shot a rare cultural victory for me from back in may 2022 i don t save a lot of screencaps but since i almost always win a space race this was a notable exception i bought the game around 2009 or so which honestly works as a counterpoint to wow and i ended up re purchasing the game on steam a couple of years ago when it was down to 4 or so on one of those winter or summer sales my reasoning was that i d already gotten my money s worth out of the original game and i knew that in order to install it on this new pc i d have to go buy a portable dvd drive so it kind of made sense to save a few dollars and just buy the game off of steam instead having played the original civ back in the day and then civ iii for several years i knew what i was getting into still even i was surprised at how much i preferred civ iv to civ iii i don t think i ve even bothered to try to install civ iii on this pc and even though i dabble a bit in civ v and civ vi i always return to civ iv just how much uh whoops that little graphic is from my 2023 year in review from steam that s roughly half of the year i played civ iv because some of those sessions went kind of long it s the sort of game where i can play for a bit go away and do something else for a while and then return to the same session while it s been patiently waiting for me in the background unlike it s brethren and other civ sim games a match of vanilla civ iv can be cranked out in about 3 hours or less depending on how wars develop and my need to micromanage city building and development it s when you add systems such as found in civ iv warlords or civ iv beyond the sword do the civ iv matches really start extending in length i guess for immersion those later iterations of the game are better but i prefer vanilla civ iv for the overall simplicity and balance i ve gotten to the point where i can play for about 5 10 minutes and immediately decide whether it s worth it to continue a game or start over something i can t really do in the latter two for a bit longer and don t tell sid meier this but the ai in civ iv is kind of predictable and brainless so i can switch my own brain off for a bit while playing that is especially useful during lunch where i can hop on and play for an hour or so and try to forget anything stressful in the morning so if you ever wonder if i spend all my time in wow or other mmos i guess you ll understand that is simply not the case hell i don t even spend the majority of my video game playing in wow but rather in a turn based civ builder game from 2005 just a guess really no idea as to the exact year posted by redbeard at 6 00 am email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels self sid meier s civilization 1 comment shintar march 15 2024 at 9 53 00 am edt civ iv was my own introduction to the series through one of my ex boyfriends whom i watched play for hours and hours haven t played in ages though still baba yetu remains a
