Civ V is in that sweet spot between not being VI/VII and not quite showing it’s age yet. It’s got some great mods like the LotR stuff and Faerun. IMO for fantasy 4x, Warlock II with the Renaissance overhaul mod is best though.
I like Civ V personally. I like the hexagons and I like the one-unit-per-tile instead of death stacks, even though the AI isn’t great at using it without community patches. I also like its visuals the most.
It also has the beloved fan mod Vox Populi, if you want to get into all that.
4 is a fan favorite but has a grid instead of hexes, so it plays a bit different. I’m also partial to 3 since that’s where I started. Each era has its own lovable jank.
Bear in mind that districts weren’t a thing until 6, so that pretty radically changes how you plan and build cities.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
Been distracted with playing The Sims again. Sometimes silliness is needed in this world lol
Also been diving back into Civ 6. I never played other versions of Civ and am toying with the idea of trying older versions. Any recs?

Ohh this sounds tempting, too. Thanks for the info :)

Thanks!! I think I’m leaning towards taking a crack at 4 :)
