Just got into the game. Is there a particular Civilization everyone is joining? I don't mind the Civ Bucks thing so much as its pretty much the standard business model right now for free flash based MMO games. The prices seem lower than similar games by Zynga but its too early to tell how...

Pre-order bonuses for various retailers is a fairly common practice in the games industry. I've never heard of people claiming it is an attempt to screw the customer. It's just an incentive to buy at a certain store, and it makes the Retailers happy. The extra content is just window dressing...

The United States wanted the land that Sitting Bull's people had already settled upon. So they built massive Cavalry SoDs and razed all of SB's cities, eliminating him from the game.

I can't believe that Steam is going to drive away hardcore Civ fans. You'd have to be wearing a tinfoil hat to honestly believe Steam is some kind of evil scheme to steal your copy of Civ and ruin your life. The most realistic complaints I've heard is that initial install requires online...

Unfortunately loyal fans probably make up a small percentage of the consumer base for the game. They probably make up a much larger percentage of the user base a couple years down the line, but I'm sure there is a very large number of people that buy a Civ game for the first time, play it for a...

I'm having a problem launching my game from the desktop icon when the Colonization disk is already in the drive. When I try to launch it I get a Securom error saying I need to insert the disk, even though its already in there. The only way to launch the game is to open my disk drive and then...

As far as the people in Tienamen square I don't anyone is able to say that their goals are more noble. They were fighting for political freedom. This woman was trying to protect a families home and shelter from being unjustly destroyed. While both may be equally noble, there is definatley the...

Plastic I beleive I missed the big news story about Saddam killing 11 thousand people a month? can you please explain?

Before anyone points to the U.S. as the definition of democracy realize that once we had slaves too and they couldn't vote, same thing with women. So it was the same thing as in Athens before emancipation and women's sufferage and what not. Also this is not really a democracy anyways.. its a...
