fairly run of the mill 4x with a character system. Nothing really to set it apart from others. Never tried the DLC so I don't know what that adds.

Yeah it's good, definitely get it on sale. You don't need any of the DLC, but if it's bundled at a steep discount it's good too.

>>2373367
It's made by the Civ IV director so it's good.

>Can't pick city loc
Hmm

I liked it, not my favourite 4x but it's fun for what it is

It just works, trust me bro. It's a better way to eliminate city spam than gay global happiness mechanics that artificially constrain expansion even when you have open land ripe for the taking. Also works thematically because you're playing in an Old World™ where all the valuable land and city sites have already been settled, and you're just taking them over.

I did not like it. Not sure why as a huge civ fan, just found playing it to be a long meh 7/10 experience.

How is the Wrath of gods and Saar DLC?

>>2373367
It's got some good ideas, but I disliked the character mechanics/events too much to really enjoy it.

DLC vampire game with every faction with an interesting quirk locked behind $9.99. It's also completely boring to play singleplayer.

Wrath is sorta interesting with the disaster mechanics, but it's not amazing IMO. I have no plans on buying poos. Maybe in 2 years they will add china/indochina.

7/10 means better than average.

Hilarious enough they are pretty broken with Ashoka getting access to all six families plus the ability to found Buddhism.

Overall the game is pretty good, orders system is a nice touch. Victory conditions are kind of meh with basically just quests and points. Probably will get a points victory before conquest unless you turn it off.
