I'm in trouble...

A coworker lent me Civilization 4. Yes, I know that it's two years old already, but it's new to me. This version, as you may know, has added religions, which is appropriate as my soul is definitely in mortal danger. It's the first time I've geeked on a game hard core since Warcraft III was originally released, or maybe Dungeon Siege, so I think I'm ( Read more... )

I have never played Civilization on the computer, but I have played the board game a number of times. It's awesome! But it does indeed take forever to play...

If you're thinking of "Advanced Civilization," it's a great game, but doesn't really have anything to do with the computer game, endless trademark litigation notwithstanding.

The best games for me are the ones with both, like "Deus Ex," or "Half Life".

Ohhhh man, I've for some reason also been really into Civ 4 this Christmas.

Damn good game, no? (And that's not even counting the Warlords and Beyond the Sword expansions)

Addictive, but I think it's only an incremental improvement over the last one, and the end game is still tedious.
