Planet Mod is still the best

Post by drokmed »

Just my two cents...

I keep trying all of the mods that come out, and I keep going back to the original vanilla version. Plain is best.

The Planet Mod is faster, much faster than plain. It's plain on steroids. Massive increase in population potential for the plain game is fantastic, the best mod ever...

I must admit, I prefer to play single player against the AI, from tech level 1. Start at the beginning, and go for the win. On small maps, the game doesn't go much above turn 100, with the planet mod, of course. With plain vanilla, it can take a little longer, around turn 150 or so. How anyone can get to 300+ turns against the AI is just dragging it out for points......... boring!!!

Anyone else still enjoy playing vanilla against the AI? And start at the beginning, i.e. tech level 1?

To be fair, I enjoy "All the Ages" mod immensely too, though it's far from vanilla. I can choose any race, and from tech 1, progress equally challenging. I just checked my hall of fame, and i'm hesitant to admit that "All the Ages" might be more balanced than the original vanilla version! Kudos to the mod developers.

Yay planet mod :)

I've never played Planets mod, but I'll give it a try. I play mostly vanilla too (small galaxy from beginning tech, against AI). I like the short games, and I get kind of frustrated with longer games. As an example, I played a game of Balance of Power recently, small galaxy, beginning tech. It lasted around 1200 turns :?

But vanilla has its flaws too, namely all the bugs.

P.S. To post images, you need to host them elsewhere (I use ImageShack.us; it's free) and embed the link to the image in the img tag.
