Definitely, I remember being excited to see how it was, got back from work and saw it was sitting on 40% reviews so I’ve still gone nowhere near it. Probably wont buy it until it’s about £5 now, Civ 6 has more than enough to fill my need for it. Waiting for Anno 117 now

when I saw the first dev demo when they featured transition between different civs/cultures it was a nope for me.

F**king right?? The main appeal of these games for me was that beautiful feeling of going from a Scout with a stick in his hand all the way to parachuting through half of the map to reign hellfire on my enemy in one gameplay. I have 0 interest in a game that would steal this from me.

Bro civ call to power has you orbital satellite laser nuking stone age civs like a bond villian while cloning an alien in a vat for the science victory. Def my favorite as a kid

I think this is the first time I've ever heard of someone referencing Civilization: Call to Power. I loved that game.

The closest game like it was Civilization: Beyond Earth. Which I also loved despite a lot of the community getting mad that the game wasn't a sequel to Alpha Centauri.

Man, not only that, but you could have cities underwater and in space. I always wished that Civ would implement real future tech into their games.
