I had never played this game and I "bought" it yesterday. It's freakin addicting. I just want to get home from work so I can start a war or something.

yeah, i concur. runs like a dog on my similiar system. a bit disappointing.

that said tho, its the greatest strategy game ive ever played. so many options, so many ways to win. simply brilliant.

just bought this game! I'm really excited cause I haven't played civII+III, let's see if it is still as addictive as civI and what have changed since civI.

Spring is when life's alive in everything.

can someone help me? I've got a foreign town from another civilization which I don't want to build-up, because it is extremly undeveloped (3 inhabitants, my cities: 16 inhabitants), so I would like to remove it, but how does it work? it is possible at all? or do you have any ideas, what I shall do with this town. now it really has a bad influence on my civilization, before the town joints my civilization I've gained +7 gold per round, now I have +1..

thx

Did anyone try out the scenarios? I'm working on the WWII North African scenario as the Germans. I really love how they made the whole game customizable through plugins - really looking forward to some kickass user created content.

Agreed, they really outdid themselves, even after the numerous mod packs and maps avaliable for CIV 3. I've been playing the American Revolution scenario on Monarch which is a very tough scenario if anyone is interested.

haha. this is the first game ive played in a long long time that has the computer owning my arse.

you can give cities away thru diplomacy. if its converting by culture tho it might revert i guess. you can also choose to burn cities to the ground when you capture them. thus theoretically you could give it away then invade it, then burn it to the ground

someone got suggestions for expanding early on? im doing everything i can think of but im building fuck all cities, and when your neighbours have twice as many its hard to keep up.

This game is ace, I even parted with currency because Sid deserves money for this!

Is cultural influence still part of this game? It was ridiculous in Civ III when your best cities would fuck off 2 another Civ, especially when you had enuf nukes to destroy the world stored in them!

Best menu song ever of any game! So glad I got the collector's edition for the same price as the regular because the song is on the cd.
