----------------------------------- Kingnoz Sat Nov 08, 2003 12:37 am civilization style game ----------------------------------- well i'm making a civilization style game for my final project...its not due for 2-3 months but i want an early start to make it look awesome for any of u guys(and gals) that have played games like civilization, please post characteristics of the game(s) that u liked...i'm open to all suggestions so post away! :D ----------------------------------- LovelyCrap Sat Nov 08, 2003 11:31 am ----------------------------------- A civilization style game won't be easy to make. The best characteristic of the civilization series was the complex economic structure. Thats what made the game fun. Civilization didn't have good graphics, didn't have good music/sfx and it didn't have a story (just a bunch of scenarios stuck together), but it had amazing gameplay. If you could succeed in emulating their economic model, then your golden, else your game won't be too fun. ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Nov 08, 2003 4:04 pm ----------------------------------- I remember playing first civilization... :lol: Civilization is easier to program then other strategies, since it's turn based, but you do need to allow the player a much greater control to make it interesting. ----------------------------------- FDisk87 Sat Dec 06, 2003 12:26 pm ----------------------------------- That is gonna be some hard work to emulate. Sid Miers (Sp?) is a genius. Perhaps one of the most respected figures in game development. ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Dec 19, 2003 10:16 am ----------------------------------- i simply love Civillisation. i read the book twice but i don't have those little action figures yet.. i want them there so cute ^_ ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Fri Dec 19, 2003 10:50 am ----------------------------------- alpha centauri rocks :D ----------------------------------- Maverick Wed Jan 07, 2004 9:26 pm ----------------------------------- My favourite part of the civilization games were the progression through time. Also i liked how you got to pick which leader and country you got to be, and the ranking you were given. i.e. Abe the Terrible, John he Great. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Thu Jan 08, 2004 10:29 am ----------------------------------- empire earth is pretty cool if you like aoe and games that span many eras... empire earth goes from prehistoric (cavemen with clubs and rocks) to nano age (futuristic shit) .. although the first few eras aren't that exciting, but once you start getting more units and stuff it's pretty damn cool ----------------------------------- Maverick Thu Jan 08, 2004 10:31 am ----------------------------------- My favourite time period was probably the medievil era. The knights and catapults and all that are pretty fun. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Thu Jan 08, 2004 10:32 am ----------------------------------- yeah... you should go to medieval times some time.. I went some years ago (4 or 5 years I think) and it was pretty cool and good food ----------------------------------- Maverick Fri Jan 09, 2004 1:02 pm ----------------------------------- Ya I went back to the caveman era a few weeks ago. Me and the neanderthols had some good times/ oy do they know how to party. +1BIT for you. ----------------------------------- Dauntless Fri Jan 30, 2004 11:27 pm ----------------------------------- Oh man. whatdotcolor warrior/ dodge said "cute". Mass confusion ensues. ----------------------------------- McKenzie Sat Jan 31, 2004 1:18 am ----------------------------------- WDCW finds paperclips to be "cute" :?
