I always take the germans because Panzer goes FIUUU (1+ movement compared to normal tanks)

I think I'll try a newer one. This feels very old.

One of the first strategy games i played.
There were many good things in this game, like you needed to have some mandatory stuff to allow city to grow, good diplomacy system with leaders advancing throught ages and changing their clothes (sorry, Lincoln, no suit for you in ancient era). Also some of extra scenarios were amazing, like Japan one.

Sadly combat, while interesting, was pretty random and balance of some civs and abilities was bad (some civilizations were a lot worse than others).

One of my favorite games of all time, I have played it in the year of our lord 2023 and it still holds up

what do you mean i can't stack units to infinity in later games?

A pretty jank Civ game but gosh darn it sometimes it's fun to endlessly stack units on top of each other. I also like loading units onto boats which the modern games have completely dropped. I also find it humorous how the leaders outfits would change as the years pass, and while I understand why there may be cultural concerns over ancient leaders wearing suits, having some kind of visual development is fascinating.

Wow, I did not remember the interface being this ass.

One of my favorite childhood games. Incredibly good for the time.

This was loads of fun! This got me hooked to Civ. I played this first even though V was out because I wanted to go back as far as I could and I am glad I did.

Pretty fun! Finally started to mold into the Civ games that I know and love, thanks to cultural borders, charming animations, and the goofy leader portraits. Fun fact: I saw people playing this back in middle school and wanted to get a Civ game. My parents got me Civ IV, not Civ III, which then turned out to be one of my favorite games ever

I think this is my favorite base game civ of all time. Unlike the other games, this really immerses me in the game and is very relaxing to play. I don't know how to describe it really. It just brings me to a whole other place that the other games don't do (not including AC)

Games oozed personality. Turn the animations off and have a good time. The intrigue and readability of this entry makes this game more approachable than literally any other civ game. Not even going to play the other ones, this is the best one.

hours spent in a childhood dream

An extraordinarily well made game that has maintained replayability for almost 20 years.
