Civilization V!!

[Subotan]

Oxford? Nice. I guess much depends on the subject your taking too. provided I get the grades I should be doing History and Politics which luckily means, as an arts student, I shall need time to procrastinate about my reading. Although they expect a minimum 30 hour work week at most of the places I applied to so that will no doubt limit my time to play games to very little, if you throw in social stuff on top of that. Anyway, back on topic.

Thanks. I'm PPE, so they'll expect me to read and write loads. Which won't be a bad thing, but it means little time for games. You're Oxford too, right?

I think the main problem with the draft and nationalism was at the higher difficulties the unhappiness it caused just basically lead to empire wide rebellions. That was more a problem with the way the AI worked though. As you set the difficulty higher, the AI did get smarter but at the same time it got a ridiculous speed bonus in the way it could research technology and build stuff.

Civ on the maximum difficulty is merciless, I've never won a game on it, haven't even come close to winning one either.

If you had a big enough Empire though, you could just rotate your cities. Slavery helped too.

I'm too scared to try it
