Alpha version of my Macbeth game


May not look good, but there's stuff going on in the back that you don't see. Couldn't get the stupid animations to work :(

My Game

Have had an idea for a simple yet addictive (hopefully) game that you can pick up and play for 5 - 10 minutes at a time. I put together a prototype in Game Maker. My aim would be to sell it for the iPhone, Android phones etc. Here's a little screenshot of the game. Obviously it'll look fancier when it's completely done.

Civiliztion V

Well so far i've put in a good 54 hours into this game. I really do like the game but I don't think it is as good as Civ IV. To me it seems a lot simpler then Civ IV and much easier to win. Like you can win the game by rush building 4 horsemen and plowing through every civilization. Granted it does get trickier as you go up in difficulty. I'm sure the horsemen will be nerfed a tad in a future update. So to make the game not as easy I try different stratagies other then the horseman rush. I also feel that diplomacy isn't that great in Civ V, haven't really used it because of that. Felt like there was more Diplomacy going on in previous Civs. Plus I've been winning to early and haven't got to the modern era at all and tried out the units from then. I think there may be too many buildings to build as well, definitly as the game progresses and if you don't really know what you are doing it could seem a bit daunting.

I do like that you can only have 1 unit per hex as you have to plan your attacks better instead of one stack of doom. It makes combat a little more straightforward as you can easily see what is attacking you. If the AI had a better understanding of stratagy that would be great :) Plus the AI units kind of run away when any damage is done to them. It seems far to easy to go to war with a civilization, defend and let them attack you. When there attacking units have all been destroyed just plow through them and do same with the next civilization till you win by domination. Also when you destroy all of a civilizaiotns units they wave a white flag and will give you most of there cities plus money and what not for peace. Crazy! Want to try and go for a cultural victory but domination victories keep getting in the way.

The game is still quite addictive and the whole one more turn is still there until it's 3 in the morning and you have to be up early in the morning. Just one more turn...
