Mine doesn't. Apparently, Civ 2 and Win10 don't play well together. :(
If GOG could figure it out for me, I would gladly reward them with some money. :D

My favourite game of the Civ series is Civ IV. In my opinion Civ 5 was a huge step backwards. Even after all DLCs and addons I prefer Civ IV.
That's true. And it is great for human vs human. But the A.I. can't handle it.

Fair enough. I assumed there was no time limit on the deal enabled them to use the name on the game - just that they could not use it on future games.

Licenses are time-limited and have to be renewed. It would also have been necessary to update the contract in order to specifically state that the license used would also apply to a digital release (as contracts must be very specific).

I see. Thanks for the explanation. This will unfortunately impact a number of games that might have otherwise made it to GoG.

I also liked it but there was a balancing problem. Civ typically spans ages (from almost stone age to world war 2 and beyond). The chief designer of Civ V (Jon Shafer) wrote an article about it. Problem is that in the beginning of the game there is too much space and at the end not enough on the map.

Now this is a major problem for 1UpT, less for many units per tile.

What they should have done is increase the density of tiles (e.g. sub-dividing them) each time a new age starts. Then it would have been great. What I don't like about Civ V is that in the end game I can have a unit at each tile of the map.

Why? With the addons it is just as complex and the lack of SODs is a big step forward.

Civ V is a great game (in the end) but I like Civ IV more. I had more fun playing Civ IV on multiplayer with my friends then with Civ V.

ok, but why? why is it a big step backward?

The A.I. can't handle the new system. It is so easy to manipulate it. In my opinion they shouldn't have changed it. For human vs human it is great but against the A.I. it is a mess. Therefor in my eyes a step backwards (no improvement).
This is the reason I like Civ IV more and why I didnt't bought Beyond Earth. But this is just my opinion.

No that is all wrong! The game started really bad (compared to Civ 4 with all addons). But after they realeased the 2 addons (and don't forget all the dlcs) it became your favorite turn based strategy game. It was so much fun for you to play it online with your friends.
Also If you play on deity it`s really hard to win against the a.i.. You are also into achievements and this game offers a lot of them!

I already got all achievements on Civ V. As I said it is a great game now but i like Civ IV more. So don't get me wrong. Only because I like Civ IV more doesn't mean I hate Civ V.

Edit: And of course Civ V is one of my favourite turn based games.

No, you are literally wrong about your own opinion!

So it is forbidden to change his mind? Only because I like Civ IV more now doesn't mean that Civ V can't be one of my favourite turn based games. Or am i wrong? If yes, then you are right.
