No other game in the series came close, which I first assumed was because most people in the survey started with Civ IV or Civ V. As expected, several survey takers mentioned Civ V's easy-to-use mod support, expansions, hexagonal grid, and lack of unit stacking. On why Civ IV is the best, however, Leonard Nimoy came up of course , as well as unit stacking and the expansions.
It seems there are two camps: the no-stacking hex camp and the stacking square camp. It's one or the other, friends—declare your allegiance. Click the icon in the upper-right to enlarge. Based on 1, responses. This is no big surprise. According to my survey, the worst Civilization is Civilization: Beyond Earth.
Had I included Alpha Centauri, I'm certain it would've been voted the best, so it's extra sad that its spiritual successor fared so poorly.
A whopping We can roughly order the rest by considering the ratio of 'best' to 'worst' votes each got:. Most of you have won a game of Civilization by achieving a victory condition—only 3. Almost no one likes the Time condition, in which you try to achieve the highest score within a certain number of turns. I also asked survey takers to share a story about a really good game of Civilization they've played.

Space is all fine and dandy, but maybe you do want something like a modern Age of Wonders. Like Stellaris, Endless Legend has factions that force you to be uncompromising in your play-style. Stats and behaviour are completely different for each faction. Battles in Endless Legend happen without direct intervention — you plan a strategy at the beginning, then watch it play out with minimal options to make changes, which can be slightly boring to watch.

Beyond Earth was the spiritual successor to the earlier Alpha Centauri. It was also set on an alien planet where players had to seek their fortune after abandoning a dying Earth. The game had human factions fighting against each other to control resources and gain territory.
