Okay, So I am getting frustrated with Civilization. I don’t know if it is because I have been playing it for two months and am getting tired of the same thing over and over again. I am finding that I am getting into a rut while playing the game using the same tactics throughout. In fact in order to make things interesting I have to come in with a focus or goal to get something done. Otherwise I get to caught up all of the hustle and bustle with multiple cities, explores, ships and settlers. All of it can be quite overwhelming when asked what you want to do with each individual EVERY turn. I have found that I need to slow done and realize I do not need to have a move for every player every time but it is more important to think individual moves through making sure it will benefit the civilization and economy to the fullest extent possible. I think maybe next time I begin the game I am going to start on an Island or something to see how far I get, a new landscape would shake things up a bit......

I agree with you 100%! Once you have reached the peak of industralization then it becomes boring. I also think that the more cities you have, the slower the turns move. I feel like I have been at 30 more turns forever! Although this does simulate the real world in the since that there isn't always going to be something exciting happening and there is always going to be the maintaing phase... regardless it is boring. Good luck with your island idea, maybe I will give it a shot as well. Also another idea that I have seen from other people's blogs is: building a civilization then neglect it of certain aspects that are necessary such as military or education and see how long it lasts. Either one may be interesting. Good Luck with your next game!
I know. I started a new game because I was so bored. Now I have to force myself to play the other game. In the early years there is so much more to do.
