Through the Ages has 3 different game variations that you can play (Basic, Normal and Full) that you can change to adjust the length of time the game takes - essentially you're setting how many eras you play through (and a few other things like how much depth is in the attacking). Through the Ages is probably a little bit easier to learn, too, once you get used to how it plays. Length of game is probably about the same between the full version of Through the Ages and Civilization. Just as a point of note, however, Civilization is a much more traditional empire building game where you build cities and explore a map and such, whereas in TtA you don't have a map and everything is card based.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011225292134198772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829360209113689355.post-1557562263945377682011-01-19T12:30:36.031-08:002011-01-19T12:30:36.031-08:00How would you rate it's length and difficulty ...How would you rate it's length and difficulty to learn compared with Through the Ages? Both games look to be on the meaty/lengthy side, but for some reason I assumed Civilization to be a big lighter.<br /><br />Is it sufficiently lengthy that you might as well just play Through the Ages which has the better "street cred"?Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761810797117128305noreply@blogger.com
