→ 03 SEP 2014 An extended hands-on with the spiritual sequel to Alpha Centauri reveals a stress-free, wide-open palette of choices.

The one thing I hate about the Civilizations game is "one more turn"............then 3:50 AM and I need to get ready to go to work in a few hours..........

Work? Work? You would let work interfere with CIV?

Nice short review. Unfortunately for me I lost my appetite for Civ since Civ IV. Enjoyed Civ III tremendously. Bought IV..no go. Bought V ...no joy. Bought expansions no luck. Don't know why maybe it's because of the fancy graphics or maybe because it's of the no stacking rule?

While I agree there should be stacking (up to a point) there shouldn't be unlimited stacking as Kampfgruppe proved that method doesn't work very well or fairly. Playing against the computer or real person it was too easy to stack all your units into one hex and steamroll both players if they didn't do the same. That much is unfair and there should be limits on stacking but not 1 unit per hex. 2 or 3 seems fine. Gives you the ability to create a tank force, infantry force an artillery force in one stack. Combined arms force with 1 of each should be fair enough.
