Better Civ
Review it ____ Rate it ____
Description:
Kevin Wilson has created this file.

This version of Civ is more historically accurate. A lot of the technologies and other aspects of the original game have been edited to weed out some of the more silly qualities while at the same time keeping the game fun and. A lot of things are new, while other things just look better such as cities and flags. Terrain looks different and some resources have changed. The tech and units do have a bit more emphasis on the 14th through 19th centuries regarding military, social, and economic events. There are over 30 remodled units and over ten totaly new units. There are even new combat explosions.

  1. ( Två blå bananer, 11-15-2002) It looked interesting at first,but now that I´ve played it for a while,i´ve discovered two things that I really hate. 1.) Many critical city improvements costs nothing to maintain.Where´s the realism in that? (o no,sir,you don´t need to buy any new scrolls to the library,or hire any scribes.) 2.) There´s no penalty for switching between different "production modes" ; Blast! Now that the cathedral is almost finished I realise I need a new knight instead, oh,Ill just switch.No penalty. Realism huh? (Oh yes,sir,those granite blocks can easily be converted to lances and armour.) (I was playing at "King" difficulty.) Summary: For all it´s historical realism, since there is no OTHER realism,this mod suck.
  2. ( poorboy, 02-01-2001) Nice improvements and the new graphics are better than the original. Love how you changed Genetic Engineering. A must play for all CIV II fans…..
  3. ( Jon, 12-18-2000) The changes in technologies are good, but the graphics for the modern cities are rubbish
  4. ( Alex, 12-14-2000) the best patch. the new units and tech tree are interesting and make the game more realistic.

    Could alter a few of the categories to balance the game. Otherwise, quite interesting

    A bit too easy defensively, with City Walls taking a city is almost impossible until Bomber/Howitzers. Still great fun though :)

    could use more units
