I'm wondering if my lack of excitement is because it is turn based and not RTS. I think it is more than than. I'm wondering if the game design and the graphics were as captivating as AoE, if then I would love it regardless of whether it is turn based or not.
What are your thoughts about turn based games as opposed to RTS ones? Are there any that you play?
Everyone says that Civ2 has so much depth. That is probably true - and it is broad in scope and ideas. But so far it is tedious and dull - and I catch myself longing for a few chariot archers to go storming over the terrain.
It's more conceptual, I guess. Visually (and adrenaline wise) it is lacking for me.
Yet, turn based games are a mainstay.
Do you think after you get into RTS games, you can appreciate Turn Based ones ever again?
