    This dude really thinks Risk is the height of game design

    Also, no Civ: Alpha Centauri or Beyond Earth, what is this slander

      Teeeeeeeeechnically Alpha Centauri is not a “Civilization” game, it is a Firaxis/Sid Meier’s

      That being said, he did miss Civilization II: Test of Time (I feel like I’m the only person who remembers it) which also had an Alpha Centauri campaign as well as a Midgard/fantasy campaign.

        Civ II: Test of Time was the shit! I remember playing all kinds of user-created maps that would completely change the gameplay. Describing Civ II as a “reskin” of Civ I is possibly the most ridiculous part of this tbh, it was a drastic improvement. I guess if you just played it once and stuck to the default game it might not seem as different, but like you could go to a sky kingdom or an underwater world or play on a map based off Final Fantasy 6 or have a space game or any number of other possibilities.
