lifelong civ head who gave up on the series by 5. then i fully embraced the paradox map games.
civ 4 had some banger mods though but i was always more into the "historical period" ones. even made some myself (for civ 2) that ended up doing ok on civfanatics.
looking back though damn those are some lib ass games. just pure Great Man Theory, philosophical idealism, and End of History vibes
hey look, it's a thing i could have damn well posted myself. I think I'm about to go play civ 4 right now actually
im busy learning Vicky 3 but i do get that craving to fire up Caveman to Cosmos every now and then
especially since it has that more complex political system that actually acknowledges how OP socialist policies are for population happiness/growth
and i love the whole collapse of large empires into smaller states mechanic.
In case you or anyone else isn't aware, there are game save converters for the Paradox grand strategy games which allow you to play from Imperator: Rome to Hearts of Iron III/IV. There's also a "third-party" Hearts of Iron IV to Stellaris converter.
Here's a megacampaign time-lapse example. You can find similar ones on YouTube.
Mega campaigns seem cool, but it's just too easy to blob over everything. I feel like you need some strict RP rules or something, if you're not just gonna take over he world forever
