- negotiating/trading

RTS games bore me except a blend of TBS and RTS such as RTW or X-Com.

'Just one more turn' has a lot to recomend it, but this isn't so much a feature of the game as it is a result of our attitude towards what makes us want that 'one more turn'.

Which to me is a compilation of every aspect of this game.

I even 'love to hate' the things I don't like about this game, ie pollution and corruption and a conscript cavalry charging unscathed passed an elite guerrilla attack only to then fight and win hand to hand against elite cavalry! (I've heard legends of the spearman winning against a main battle tank and as much as that must suck to have happen TO you I bet it's awesome if it ever works FOR you!)

But the main reason why I love these games is that for me they are unpredictable and therefore 'new' to me every time I start one.

I don't burden myself with perfect city placement or crunch the algorithms or try to play the 'perfect civ game'.

I just play it and get joyfully shocked or maddened by the 'randomness' of it all.

The Civs series is unique to me in that it is one of the few games I play that is constantly challenging me. It reminds me that I am a good strategist and game player one minute while completely crushing me in the very next minute.

Maybe one day I will become an expert at this game and be able to beat it consistently, but realistically, I loathe the time that day comes because it will somehow cheapen the game for me.

off topic..I often wonder what it must be like to be a worldclass grandmaster at chess, it must be very lonely not having much competition or reason to play when the outcome is all but inevitable.

in that regards, then Rise of Nations is a TBS. We all know this isn't true.

Pause mode doesn't take the place of turns.

I like Civ mainly because of the replayability and the possibility to shape the game into new challenges by changing the rules.

Fed up with pollution? now thats extra simple gold plus: fire up the editor, set temples to remove population pollution, and remove the pollution values from all buildings. VoilĂ , adios pollution. And you can even use the Mass Transit building to do something useful like increasing trade in the target city...

Bein able to do stuff like that, and more... there is no other game where you can do so much and have something new each time.

I love playing Civ because I was a big alpha centauri fan, and once I really tried Civ3 I was hooked. it's more elaborate in some ways (like combat), and yet simplified in others (namely the managment of citizens). Plain and simple It makes me think, and that helps me remember that I'm a geek and a gamer, which are my two best qualities
