CIV 4

[DarthMaximus]

Civ 4 is coming!!!!!!!  

It comes out sometime in this fall.  WooHoo!

I know i know!!
It looks like i am going to have to forget my dream of being a great physician and simply hope to be a reasonable one.  Particularly if Civ 4 is anywhere nearly as addictive as the others had been . . . .

There's going to be tons of new units too.

Maybe there will be a Dr. unit just for you.

I just got it last night, so if I'm not around a lot, it might be a good bet I got caught in a CIV timewarp.  

So far it looked pretty sweet, and the music kicks butt!

I will probably be picking this up tomorrow...  I may not be able to sleep tonight...

Yeah, there is a bit of a learning curve to it.

I actually went through some of the tutorial to get used to the new look and stuff.

But then I decided to jump in and just learn as I go.

After wasting what i would call a long month on it....

I would call it fair... Civ 4 while is better and worse than civ 3 which rocked out ... for every point they added to the game i feel they took one away.... Its a little too graphic heavy IMHO... i mean its civ... has it ever looked good? hence longer loads between turns... so not worth it....

The multi caliber political system... while it looks more complicated and more involved ... ahh i feel its rather bah after i played a few times...

the effects of land bonuses.... ahh i simply think they over did it this game... ahh but it does add to being able to trade with your neighbor...

The AI well its still cracked out ... so that's the same...

anyway those are my humble opinions on the game... At least they didn't go Masters of Orion 3 on it and ruin a good title... gawd that blew....
