Strategy game lovers take heart, Civ is back!

I haven't played a civ game since the original, but i lost way too much time on that game.

I'm scared what the new one might be like.

I prefer "Sid Meier:Civilization"(original), McDonis. I played for Russians, but don't accepted "Stalin" name and entered my own, on toughest level (Emperor) with 7 civilizatons. I built all 21 Wonders, built and launched spacecraft to Alpha-Centaura with maximum colonists (40.000), my Palace was completed. I got all 1500 score and was titled "Solomon the Wise". After my spacecraft landed on Alpha-Centaura, I continued the game and destroyed last civilization (Englishmen). The game was over. Whole Earth was mine.

my funniest civ story was one game where i got to the year 2000 and hadn't even discovered the law of gravity yet.

I can help you with "Civilization", Atomicvegetable.

Civ4 is buggier than a Louisiana picnic. I'm writing up the massive list of problems now, but it turned a friend's language settings to SWEDISH. It's just... a mess.

Also, my language tree was printed in French and my Play Disc is labeled as the Install Disc.

Hehe
Just throw some apples at their heads

I really liked Populous: The Beginning (Bullfrog were so good, also loved the Theme games )

Yep it appears that folks with newer systems are having more troubles with it than those of us who have older ones. Go figure?

I did read on a civ site that a lot of folks had that problem with their maps. I think Firaxis is offering a mail back program to replace them. You might want to check back with the main Civ site in a few days.


Also the first work-around (perhaps a patch) is scheduled for today I believe. Firaxis is working franticly (according to one site I read) to get the issues resolved.

I can understand why you wouldnt want to play as stalin. I think in Civ 4 you can play as Catheryn the Great. I dont think Stalin is an option in this version.

Catheryn the Great? I respect her. Smart girl. Like Elizabeth the First (English queen). But J.Stalin was massacrer and real bastard. I HATE him.

Well, there is one simple solution to all these problems...

...buy Age of Empires III.

-Cub. =o)

Hello, Cubase!
Did you play "Age of Empires", "Age of Empires:Rise of the Rome", "Age of Empires II: Age of the Kings" and "Age of Empires II: The Conquerors" ?

Onle ever played the first one... and am currently trying the demo of the 3rd and it looks awesome.

How about "Cossacks" series, Cubase?

For some reason when I play Civ, it always seems to come down to me and the Russians going head to head.
