    Guide to Decision Making Based on Commerce, Hammers and Food

    It sounds like you are trying to take a "big picture" approach to decision making, that is, taking all the pieces that make this Civ IV pie and putting them together. If that's the case, I'm all for it, if it hasn't been done before. I read all the strategy guides, play teaching games (like...

    Is Civilization Educational?

    I first heard of Civ (it was Civ III at that point) when a fellow classmate dragged himself into our 8 AM Drawing class and complained that he was exhausted because he was up all night playing Civ. I asked him what it was and when he told me, I went home and immediately put it on my Christmas...

    Modern age music

    Okay, but all the John Adams? Where's Phillip Glass? I'm wondering if it has something to do with copyrights and they were able to get adams' permission. Or maybe someone at firaxis is just an adams aficionado. still, i could go for some Low or Einstein in the soundtrack, or any glass.

    Would you attend CivCon 2009?

    I'm in Pennsylvania so Baltimore is easy for me, plus i even have family to stay with. However, I'm concerned that i would be the only adult female in attendance, and being neither a "booth babe" or a "hooker" (see above posts) i may be out of my element. But if any other women (and i don't mean...

    Anyone Else Really Bad as Civ IV But Still Love It

    Yes, I can't fight my way out of a paper bag when I play Civ IV, especially now with BTS, but I still play everyday. I try to play on Noble because I read in a thread once that I will never get better playing at a lower level. But I'm so sick of losing (or much more likely, giving up and...

    Things I Desperately Wish Women Would Say to Me On First Dates

    Oh how i can relate. My husband NEVER touches a video game. He doesn't say anything, but i know he can't understand my addiction. I try not to play during the day, but sometimes I do. I wonder if when he comes home from work and not much has been done around here, he thinks "must have been...

    Welcome New Members

    Okay, I've been lurking for years and thought it's time to introduce myself. I've been playing since CIV III Gold and now play Warlords. I still suck but not quite as bad as I used to. But i love to play and that's what counts for me. I'm probably not your typical player, as I am a woman, and...
