Civ 5 AI battle – All 43 Civs on same map [video]
Civ 5, with the add-ons, is one of my favourite games of all times. It's really well-balanced and thoroughly thought through. Everything is just in place, game mechanics, city management, unit system, science tree, social policies, trade, etc. I do turn off espionage, though. And the AI leaves room for improvement.<p>Another thing that I also really like about the game is that you can get away with very little micro-management. However, some some micro-management gives you slight advantage. I think they struck a nice balance here.<p>And beating deity was great, it almost felt like playing chess. Sure, you have to have a bit of luck with your starting position. And you need some luck later-on when it comes to the distribution of certain resources. But apart from that, it's in your hands and everything you do has to be near-perfect in order for you to succeed.
