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?

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.

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