¶nÇØGn¶TØ Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yes Monkey. There are different kinds of era as you play the game longer.You will all start out in the Early Civilization then the following periods happen: Classical EraMedieval EraRenaissance EraIndustrial EraFuture Era Each era will present you new units. Just think of it as an evolving game as you play it. You can also modify the era you want to start when you play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 So you can play like Classical Era vs Future Era? Sounds awesome to me. I wonder why I've never heard of Civilization at all... And their at Civilization 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think a friend of mine once told me about a previous part, though I'm not shure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I can't help but think that the game is off balance. I mean, let's sat Future Era vs Medieval Era aka Lasers vs Knights. Doesn't that seem a tad favorable towards the advanced eras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well I gues the other civilizations can grow aswell making it a somewhat more equal battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¶nÇØGn¶TØ Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 When you start the game(Civilization 5), each player and AI will start at the same era/generation. You will grow and move to the next era depending on how you do your researches during the game. There are times when i'm in the Industrial era and my opponent is still stuck in the Medieval Era. Sometimes, it's the other way around. It's not just a battle of brute force, Monkey. Most strategy games will just offer you a build, create, then battle. In Civilization 5, you also need to take note of your researches which will advance you to the next era. You have to take note of the gold in your empire. You have to feed your people. You have to tactically expand your city. You also need to make your people happy. One thing i learned is to advance as much as possible. Imagine how many knights are needed to destroy a tank. It is possible, but it somehow feels realistic. hahahahaha ^_^ In one of my games, an opponent spent 4 knights(team of 5) just to sink a tank of mine. At that time, i had 8 tanks which overwhelmed him. He was trying to pull a diplomacy victory over me. It almost worked. Again, there are a couple of ways to win a game. It may sound complex, but once you play the game, it will come naturally. The help you get from advisors and the game interface is very friendly and streamlined. Those things add spice and challenge to the game. The game is specifically designed for the patient and thinking people. Try reading some reviews :) There are video reviews too.

Monkey Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Oh I understand how the game works in terms of population and resources management. I've played a lot of Age of Myth/Empires games and have watched dozens of top notch Starcraft II games on YouTube. I know the importance of management. I was under the assumption that the eras were races that you could choose from. I thought you were able to choose which era to start with and then just upgrade that specific era ( +ATK, +DEF, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¶nÇØGn¶TØ Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well, the you can make your units stronger in that era. Can't explain the game fully as there are a lot of things that can be discussed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 So if you are in Medieval Era, can you prevent yourself from advancing into the next era but still upgrade your forces so they are as strong as units from the advanced eras?

¶nÇØGn¶TØ Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 You can upgrade them to match the unupgraded version of the future era. But the more recent the era, the more powerful your unit will be. Swordsman is at a disadvantage against gunmen. Yet it is possible to kill gunmen using your swordsman, it will be difficult. Again, the game is more on the realistic side. some people does not advance immediately. Those people have a different plan than winning the game by world domination. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Ok thanks. I'll have to look into this game. It sounds very interesting... But a little complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¶nÇØGn¶TØ Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Complicated is what makes it interesting, Monkey ^_^ We can have a multiplayer game if you decide to grab a copy ^_^ Let's team up against other players or AIs. I can give you a lot of tips. Just a warning, once you get hooked in this game, there is no turning back :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
