Civ6, now I'm thinking about movement points, where to retreat to, how to save up HP again and recover, whether or not I can cutoff the opponent's retreat. (Civ1/2 was definitely a "win you live, lose you die" for every combat). Somewhere along the line, combat was no longer a guaranteed killer. So maybe removing stacks all together was a solution (the current direction for Civ5 and Civ6). Yeah yeah yeah, people were confused about "stack kills" in Civ1/2/3, and without stack-kills, Civ4 combat grew dull. Collision detection for the human means that I need to put more effort into deciding where to move and place my units.

Paradox games (Victoria, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings, Europa Universialis) are the "complicated" games, technically realtime but the underlying simulations "feel" turnbased. and believe me, this is a good thing!! Things get really complicated. Just get used to the "luck swings" of battle), but a totally different genre than 4X / Strategy.Ĭivilization is on the easier / simpler end of 4X / Strategy.
