Civ 4... Anyone have this game???
 

Anyone played or been playing this?

70 Hunter on WoW... I don't have time for distractions... lol

HAHA... Yeah I have a 70 Warlock. Been working on my hunter. Enjoy playing the mage too.

My mage and rogue have been suffering from lack of PT... but tit happens...

I guess consider this thread WowJacked... my bad... :Oh crap:Oh crap

Let me know how CIV is... will be nice to step away from WoW soon, and give something else a spin for a bit.

Yeah I have always been a fan of builder games. With the new expansion this one has really peaked my interest.

I used to take my PC to my cottage to play Civ 1. ;)

that brings back memories... the second pic might even be civ2, but I don't think so..

I like travian.com anyone else plays this?

do you recommend it? I've been stuck with Battle for middle earth 2, Rise of the Witch King..

I prefer CIV III personally. Still play it now and then.

Yeah Civ4 Beyond the Sword is pretty damned good.

CIV games are a bit different than that. I played Battle for middle earth 2 demo and it was cool.

Did you pick up Civ4 and play much?

I honestly like Civ 1 and Civ 2 better

Civ 3 makes it too hard to really a lot with all the social problems in your cities etc

Civ 4 just....... I dunno develops way too slow

Civ 2 was the best. Gameplay wise.

those are both Civ1

Ahh... I miss the Civ games... don't think I've played one since Alpha Centauri...

I'm gonna have to pick up Civ 4, and give it a go sooner or later.

Yeah Civ4 was good, but I haven't tried any of the expansions..

I wonder why it is we're never happy with the sequels, made so many years later? I mean the list is long...

UFO Defense, X-Com TFTD, Civ, Sim City, Covert Ops, Pirates, All sierra games... Starcraft.. Worms was a pretty good take on fuck.... what was it calllled... oh yes.. Scorched Earth! :) http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/144

Before that I used to love my Amiga 500.. I'm still trying to remember the name of this tank game I used to play, where people would turn into red bloody marks and go "splat" when you ran over them with your tank... ;)

Also loved this game, Into the Eagles Nest: http://www.abandonia.com/games/491/IntoTheEaglesNest

I found the tank game.. It was called Firepower, great game..

Man when you look at those screenshots it really makes me feel old... I'm only fucking 26! :P

I think you might have just booked my next dozen weekends with those links.

You touched my soul bringing up Xcom. Man that game was so damn awesome. Just one seriously classic game right there. I wish someone could duplicate the Sci Fi magic of that game and put it into an MMO.

Firefly Online, bro...

Due out next year, last I heard. :thumbsup

Yeah the first X-Com (just called UFO) was fucking fantastic, but when TFTD came out, it solved a few gameplay problems that you just couldn't go back to.. I forget what exactly, but I remember wanting to go back to UFO but not being able to force myself because of the annoying gameplay issues... The SURPRISE of walking around a corner and BANG there's an alien in front of you... In the dark, late at night, with the creepy music... That's what that game was all about. :)

That is the best/latest possible sequel (there have been maaaany attempted) and it just came out recently, few months back I think.. Look at the reader ratings at that site.. they gave it a 7.4, but the readers gave it a 9.6 over 1,120 votes.. insane. I might have to check it out!

Nice... I'll have to check it out, myself. Been waiting for a decent sequel ever since I heard TFTD was coming out.

I don't remember what gameplay issues you're talking about... well, there was a waypoint missile problem that was easily worked around, I think... but I do remember is being sorely disappointed at TFTD thinking "it's the same damn game with different skins" and then even being more disappointed on that next version that came out... what was it? Apocolypse?

I like Shattered Galaxy - robots just killing everything and anything.... :)

I played a demo a while back and just couldn't get into it. CIV III was the first one of the franchise I ever played and it took me 2-3 months of playing to really get the hang of it.

Kinda funny, so many years later, now all we WANT is the fucking same damned game with a new skin. :)

Hey Eric!
Yes, do have and have played (very much) Civ4. Very impressed with it. Sid Meier makes great games. Do you have any specific questions about the game?

PS if you have seen or heard of Will Wright's new little sim game, google "spore"... fucking amazing

Screw those games, when is Spore coming out?

No, I have a girlfriend.


































jk... i havn't played it, but i have had a level 53 WoW char for like... 3047 years...

i think i might just buy a level 70 :1orglaugh

I almost beat Ms. Pacman the other day.

My list embarrasingly matches that pretty closely...

Do you remember what sun light looks like? I have faint memories...

forgot about weather completely until patch 1.12 ;)

Looks like maybe mid-2008:eyecrazy:. It keeps getting pushed back because they keep adding and tweaking...

Civ3 was like heroin to me, I refuse to play any more Civ games! My business can't afford that kind of loss!

Oh yeah dude. I have this one on my watchlist. Can't wait for it to come out. Very excited.

Hell yeah...

That one's gonna be a sweet one... and I do hope they get it right. :)

Last night, my neighbor gave me her Nintendo from when she was a kid. It still works and I she gave me Mike Tyson's punchout, tetris, a few others.

About to head to the pawn shop to see if I can find Super Tecmo Bowl.

I am way behind the times. ;)

I love the civ series. BTW there's an expansion out for civ 4
