Hi all,

I apologise if this has already been posted here, but I've not seen it if it has. This is just a simple poll to find how old most Civ4 players are :cool:. It is also a public poll....

Yeah this has been done many times.

The average Civ player is older than that of other games I think.

I'm somewhere in the college nerd level right now.

I'm 42. It's kind of scary to see myself in an age bracket ending in 50!:eek:

I agree. I need a bracket for "anniversary of 39th birthday"

I'm a 40-year-old fart....

notice how most of these posts are only from us old geezers?

15 years of age (or is it 14 i can never remember in my old age)yes its 15

Im 31 but still act like im 18. My wife loves it!

I'm only 12 :)
But soon I'm 13, so Civ is cool game...

:old: I am . . . mneh, mneh ...er . . . oh yes, I remember now: seventy-three.
This is the third or fourth thread on this subject, and I just love to announce my age and stake a claim to being the oldest poster.

I'm 22. I'm surprised at the results here. The average age is much higher than I would have guessed.

I'm 20 turning 21 in November.

I`m 18, 19 in 12 days :crazyeye:

Wow - amazing, 73 years and playing Civ!! I thought there would be more players of my age (17)...but it seems that most of you are a little older...

Civ has generally always had a slightly more mature demographic than most games.

The average Civ player is older than that of other games I think.

and the average CFC reader/poster isn't necessarily the average civ player ;)

someone asked my great-aunt at her birthday party (about 10 years ago or so) how old she was. she replied "one should never ask a lady her age." she was over 80 at the time, i find that so cute! *giggle*

Games are getting higher and higher average ages.
I remember the early days of Star Wars Galaxies...
Swear the average age was 35.

Then the patch came and the average age is "Duhh I like Star Wars. :D im gonna meet captain KIRK! YAYZ!"

And I'm the same age as my nose but older than my teeth.
Oh such a cheesy refference, possibly giving away my nationality.

I love the funky syntax. What's your Age? Vote Now. I just WISH I could vote on how old I wanted to be. It's just not that easy, dangit!

I tried that once.
Gave up after Florida kept me stuck between 22 and 68 for months. Probably still some hard feelings on both sides.

That and when it comes to age, I believe I'm a communist. When I age, I think everyone else should age too.

31 and counting ;)

20-something

14 but loved the series since i was about 10

I'm 20, I loved Civ 2 when I was 9- this is the first time I've gotten back into Civ though.

I just turned 18 in February. I've played Civ since SMAC (I think I was nine or ten when I first played that).

I am 15. And yes this has been done before. :)

Yes, I remember a very large one in the Civ3 Discussions a year or two ago. I think there were 700+ votes (!), looking similar to this one. I meant "if this has been posted here" as being the Civ4 discussion forum (but maybe its been posted here too?). Seems pretty much the same as the ages for Civ3 players at the moment. Keep voting :D!!

You didn't have a spot for my age. I was born in 4000 B.C. I'm Immortal!

12! Ten chars

@Mehmed100: What happens after 2050 AD?

I'm 13, and proud of it! :p

I am 21 and this september ı ll be 22.

It has been done before in this forum too. Many times, actually. :)

currently i am 24 year's old.
i started playing such kind of complex, strategy games when i was 14 .(settlers_2 and ultimate soccer manager,transport tycoon deluxe),and probably i will never get bored of it.

18.
19 in June.

Have these threads been started by marketing managers?

I don't think so. :) But.... who knows?

Be assured that I'm not a marketing manager :D - but as for the others....who knows?

Thanks for this. Having just had my 31st birthday I sneak up a group and now feel terribly old. I'm off to bed now with a cup of horlicks. :D

13, in october, it will be 14

I'm 42 and when i was young trade routes were camels

I had to ask my wife. She told that I'm 26, so guess I am (I thought I was 27).

This is weird, I can't remember my own age...

30 in September ackkkk. I cant remember when i started playing civ. Would of been around civ 1. I played it on my Amiga. Eakkkkk.

@Mehmed100: What happens after 2050 AD?

Just... One... more... turn.

I will be turning 25 today, and the Civ franchise has grown up with me: Civ I, Civ II, Colonization, Civ III, and now Civ IV (I skipped Alpha Centauri... don't like sci-fi). I would have been eleven when I started playing CivI when it first came out. I normally don't play video games, but this one stuck. I will be very concerned, though, if I am 50 and I am still trying to figure out ways to torture Monty.

17 and a half! Oh yeah!

That half year makes all the difference, I'm tellin' y'all.

These threads pop up in OT pretty frequently. But I guess the people that frequent this forum aren't the same as those who frequent OT.

I'm 21, and enjoying every evening of it. :beer:

32, turning 33 on the 15th. Started with Civ 1 on my 386 back in '93.

im 15. seems most poeple are the 19-30 range

Only just. I think when some one recreates this poll in 2 months time. 18 and under 19-24 25 and over would make better for me :D

Yes, since the majority are 19-30, on hindsight I should have split it into 19-24 and 24-30. And then some of you 19/20 year olds wouldn't be offended at being in the category with 30 year olds :)

I am 16 years old, and I've always been fascinated by history. When I was a kid I used to rent CD-ROMs of the Presidents and learn about them, also I had a huge atlas that I would play with, arbitrarily redrawing boundaries (I always combined the Dakotas), imagining a potential World War III and who would be on whose side, stuff like that.

So when I found Civilization, it was little surprise that I was immediately hooked.

Hi, I am 38. And Civ is the only computer game I play seriously (since civ 1 times, it must be some 15 years or so now).

Going to play it till I am alive, I think :)

18 . Over the past three months Civilization is the only game i play.

just 28 years.

and i would say playing it since fall '97, shortly after my bigest lover ever left me. Now i'm married and have 4 childeren, and don't play Civ 2 anymore.

28 and I've been playing Civ more or less "non-stop" since '91, when the original was released on the Amiga. God I have spent many hours of my life with this game!!

I'm 29, so still barely in the most numerous bracket.

I'm somewhere in the college nerd level right now.

graduate school nerd level now.

I'm 15.

And you just read my mind. Except I always combined some New England states.

56 years old (well, actually 20,541 days today). Started playing wargames with maps and cardboard unit counters (board games) in 1964.

Yes, Civ is the only computer game I play. Rise of Nations was quite dissatisfying, couldn't get the hang of Rome Total War.

this game must have one of the oldest standard people:)

(16)

I'm 12. But I am turning 13 in a few months. And how could someone who hasn't lived a year play civ iv? Or post for that matter (the poll says 0-12).

This has been done far too often....I'm 16.

This thread has attracted 1538 views, but only 183 votes. Why, I wonder, view without voting ?
And who are the other two 61+ voters ?

Less than a decade ago I'd happily admit to being in my thirties - now I'm 44... I feel old :blush: :(

;)

Not everyone likes to post about what they vote. And not everyone is interested in the thread, even though the title was interesting. Plus they aren't all unique views.

And who are the other two 61+ voters ?

Angular and Condorski.

Not at all, the average overall gamer is in there 30's, hell my dads 50+ and hes still playing counter-strike.

I enjoy playing civ online (im 15), the people are usually much more mature and kinder than on other multiplayer internet games =]

yo, you find that most adults have a short attension spand for computer games, but i guess there is sumthing different about civ that attracts an older audience...

That is because you are the most successfull counter-strike manager ever!:mischief:

I used to be a mayor roamer at schroet with this nickname!

Nice to see you at Fanatics :goodjob:
