Title: Barbarian uranium mines? Come on!
Post by: FLOOB on March 18, 2014, 12:16:44 AM: So I've been concentrating on the fighting at my borders when I see "a barbarian giant death robot has destroyed a mine". Imagine my horror when I look to see this, my capital encircled by barbarian giant death robots! You need uranium to build giant death robots, when did barbarians start mining uranium? Come on people!

Love that game as well, though I always end the game in 1945 as I am not keen on the future tech, prefer WW2 stuff. Best thing was commiting Pearl Harbour on one of my allies...

They weren't impressed

End result for me was about the same as the Japanese at Pearl Harbour

To the OP, I stopped playing with the Barbarians when I realized that they don't follow unit movement rules.

Post by: Ardy123 on March 18, 2014, 05:55:57 PM: Civ 5 is a good game, I do miss the ability to change the tax rates etc... of the earlier versions of the game. Also, the game always played out having 2 or 3 super-powers. It lacked the balancing feature of Civ 1 & 2 where if the capital was taken, the massive civ fell into a civil war.

Post by: Plawranc on March 20, 2014, 03:31:57 AM: Civilization 3 was the best one in retrospect.

Although, this is impressive.

"Those idiots out there think I'm a god."

And the best line of the game "Are you real or just a phantom of my tortured senses?" Burnnn! :lol
