Civilization (video game)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

<!-- %% Examples are not required. -->

* [[Broken Base]]: Announce that ''Civ V'' will have ''[[Panzer General (Video Game)|Panzer General]]'' style combat, will only allow one combat unit per tile, will be released with Steam, that there will be DLC, and that you will have to pay extra to play the Babylonian civilization. Cue [[Flame War]]. [[It Got Worse|And then the game was actually released...]]

* [[Contested Sequel]]: Every game in the series has its fans and detractors, but by far the most controversial is ''Civilization V''. So many staple mechanics of the series as a whole were either significantly retooled or dropped entirely that some fans of the older games refuse to buy it on principle, and an extremely bug-ridden first release didn't help matters for the rest.

* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Nebuchadnezzar's quotes (such as "Are you real or just a phantom of my tortured senses?") are sometimes a bit funny. This ''is'' the guy who went crazy for a bit, according to [[The Bible (Literature)|The Bible]].

* [[Demonic Spiders]]: barbarian tribes can get this way pretty easily, especially in ''V''. Because they come from all directions, you need a competent garrison around... and because ''V'' has discontinued unit-stacking, having one becomes that more complicated. You have to keep an eye out at all times for incoming barbs who have designs on your settlers and workers. And finally, because units of similar strength are weighted to typically not lose more than 8 HP in any given battle, it requires two units to take out a single encampment quickly--during the early-game phase, where sparing even ''one'' unit for scouting is an imposition.

* [[Epileptic Trees]]: In Civ V from the starting narration it seems all of history's great leaders were put on a earth like planet to be given a second chance to rule.

* [[Game Breaker]]:

** [[Captain Obvious|Nukes]], for the first civ to build them. Specific games each have their own:
