It is really good! The base mechanism- focus bar is such a cool idea. This is a really underrated game. This expansion makes a good game great!
Indeed. Very true.
Now I have to get the expansion! Great review and great recommendation
Thank you, sir. Glad you enjoyed it.
Really a case of an essential expansion. Makes the game tick, and it's a pretty good translation of the franchise overall.
Agreed.
if they had implemented the exploration and armies right in the base game, I think this game could've conquered the charts.
@@FalkFlak Very likely.
That was a good opening joke. Not a dad joke, not a pun.
I like to branch out.
I was waiting for you to do this one!!! Thanks!!!
Happy to oblige.
This game including Terra Incognita is my favourite game.
It's a good one. You might also like Clash of Cultures and Mosaic.
This is an awesome expansion. Well done FFG!
I already liked the base game but exploration and individual abilities for each Civ are so important for this type of game.
The only minor grievance I have with it is the small number of armies. It makes the scope of the game smaller than it was before. Oh, and the box itself is trash.
That is one thing I didn't mention - the box if pretty flimsy. But fortunately you can fit everything in the core game box.
Thanks for this review! My dad will be getting this (and the base game) for Christmas. He has played Civ II at least once a month since the 90s!
Fantastic! Civ II was a lotta fun back in the day.
So now that the new edition of Clash of Cultures is out... would LOVE to hear your thoughts between these two games both emulating the classic videogame in different ways.
Yeah. I’ve got to play them both some more before I could make that kind of video.
Agreed with your opinion. Overall the game with the expansion is okay, a forgettable experience in a sea crowded with other attractive competitors. But this expansion, pushes it so far above that it is now actually a contender for best Civ-style game in my book.
I liked the core game a lot, but the expansion does indeed push it much further.
I always like variety and many options.
A bigger action line, more resources, more land hexes, etc
AN atack cant pass throught reforced cultural tokens (great rule change)
Yeah. Some great stuff in this expansion.
Did the expansion address the fact that its a race to airplanes and then the game is over? Our complaint is that even with the victory conditions, domination becomes the focus
Yes. The military aspects are just one of the many changes.
Hi Cody, Thanks for sharing these videos. Which game ranks higher for you ? This one or the new Clash of Cultures ?
My family is on tight budget and we can only effort 1 of them.
Cheers,
John
I gotta play each more times before I could tell you that. I will say I like the new CoC better that Civ without the expansion, but with the expansion… it’s still a coin toss.
Have you ever reviewed Imperial?
I have not. Fun?
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer I have yet to try it but it's a unique concept. You buy and sell shares in nations as you make them fight. War is a racket.
Great review. My banker hate you, you know?
Sorry. Thanks.
Next expansion for this game: Mage Knight.
I'm afraid I don't see the connection.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Those tiles are straight outta Mage Knight.
@@A._J_. Ha! Very different game.
Would you prefer civ a new dawn + expansion over clash of cultures, and if so could you explain why that is?
I'm waiting to see what the new Clash of Cultures game looks like. I never played it with the expansion and as I understand it the new version has the expansion built into it. So at this point I don't think it's a fair comparison.
I am also eager to hear your thoughts when you get to try the new CoC. Thanks for cranking these out. Your videos are a great asset to the hobby for us war game learning folks.
@@dustbustus27 Thank you, sir. Glad you enjoy my work.
Did you played Mage Knight, Cody?
I owned Mage Knight for years but never got it to the table. I did play the Star Trek version, however.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer never played New Dawn but the map reminded me of Mage Knight. I was so scared of the difficulty and it was not that difficult at all. It took me way more to learn Combat Commander than Mage Knight.
I was not a fan of the base game. Felt very generic and kinda... Boring? I did like the action selection
Really? I really enjoyed the base game. I enjoy it wit the expansion so much more!
