In all earlier versions of Civ, I dreaded war. One thing that happened was the inevitable-war. I only had time to play for fifteen minutes before I was called away, but they were a satisfying fifteen minutes, and quite a bit happened in that short time. Then I popped the cart into my DS last night and started a game (on King level, since I needed to brush up). I read a little about it and learned some things I hadn't known. And I thought, I haven't played that in a while. So yesterday, I stumbled up on a fan site for Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution. The game also takes long enough to load that I'll walk off and get a cup of tea while I'm waiting. On anything bigger than a tiny map, there's some significant downtime. I'm playing Civ5 on a netbook computer, though, and the CPU is a bit taxed. Early on, I even lost entire games to AI invasions. I'm sometimes that way myself, though and I've certainly lost some cities to AI attacks. Though I haven't tried it on higher levels, I have to admit the AI seems militarily wimpy and confused. I now know why others complain about the war-making capability of the AI. I suppose I could have won a domination victory a few times, but I didn't try I was enjoying my building and expanding too much. I keep wanting to win a cultural victory, but I never even get very close to that. And I've won a couple space-race victories in addition to the usual time-limit victories.
Still playing at Prince level (which is a little embarrassing to me, but I'll take it step by step), but I'm winning pretty consistently. I've been playing Civilization V quite a bit, and I've finally caught on to it.
