Despite all the missionaries in the world being added, there’s nothing here that’s going to win over non-believers. It’s important to know this because whether or not Gods and Kings is for you will depend largely on whether Civ V was for you or not. I’ll move on to the expansion in a moment, but here’s a quick summary of what I do and don’t like about the base game.
#Civ 5 gods and kings series
Rather than that, Civ V is a new take on the model of map-conquering, settler-spawning, race-to-the-finish strategy that the series has been since its inception. Beyond the Sword, the spiffiest expansion pack of all, was Civ IV + 1 though.
It’s not Civ IV, which is fine because Civ IV still exists, but nor is it Civ IV + 1, which the V does suggest if that’s the way you choose to read it. The thing is, despite a host of problems, I’ve spent a great deal of time with Civ V, the majority of which I’ve greatly enjoyed. That thing really tied the parlour together. I’m rewarding their failures, it seems, like bestowing a meaty treat on a dog that has just dumped a pile of compost on grandma’s favourite rug. Yes, irresponsible, because liking this iteration of the series apparently encourages dumbing down. I’ve never actually been physically assaulted for enjoying Civ V but the internet has told me how stupid, ignorant and irresponsible I am on many occasions. “It won’t!” cried future-me from another dimension, at which point my assailants redoubled their efforts to maim me. “But perhaps the Gods and Kings expansion will make the game more like Civ IV?” one of them asided to his neighbour even as they afflicted my face with blows. Upwards of twenty furious men immediately formed a stack of doom and pummelled me into submission. I’ve seen it first hand perusing the shelves of a local boardgame emporium I was moved to express an opinion about hexes and how much I enjoyed their use in the game.
