Anyone get it yet? Impressions? I'm deep in a game of EU IV, attempting to one-up Napoleon, so haven't gotten to it.

I read that cities don't have the automatic defensive attack that they have in Civ5. That will affect some early game strategies.

Yeah, parking an archer in each city was usually sufficient to defend it well, when combined with the city's defense How many Civs are there? I'll have to pick this one up sometime soon.

That's too bad. There were many times when my defensive units reduced an attacker down to 1-2 hp and the natural defensive fire from the city was enough to finish them off without having to wait for the next turn.

It was also nice that it had a range of two independent of LOS, but I guess that was an exploit.

Game sucks......


my time
but will quit the game after one more turn, I promise!

Haven't really gotten a game in later periods but so far I am enjoying it and I like how the game has a sense of humor like when I send my trade delegations to Spain:





I like the city district system and the revised civic policies system which where fairly generic and boring in Civ V.

Sid Meier made his career on "just one more turn, I promise."

These are the only games where I actually lie to myself and then feel guilty afterwards.
