Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.
alekwithak@lemmy.world 1 day agoI made the mistake of buying 7. “It’s Civ, how bad can it be?” I literally forgot it existed until reading your comment. When I want to play Civ I pull out 6.

ALWAYS play one generation behind with Civ because they don’t actually finish the last game until the new one comes out. Civ 7 will probably be fine, in like a year and a half.
Honestly, one could probably just keep playing Civ 5 without missing much unless there is a specific mechanic in Civ 6 that you enjoy. If you just use it to play risk (i.e. military victories only) Civ IV is probably the best version.

I seem to be this minority. Civ 4 on the Xbox 360 was my first but Civ V was the first on PC and I have wasted away many Saturdays playing.
I almost deleted it from my MacBook before forgetting that I still have a game from a few weeks ago I’m near completing. I branched off to nuke Alexander off the map because he was a dick to everyone but then everyone feared me and I felt bad and haven’t returned.
