Hello all! I'm a 36-year-old music, film and art dork into some choice PC games, mostly in the "tycoon" category or The Sims. Then I started reading about Civ5 and was intrigued by the expansive gameplay and the graphics, particularly the hex grid. I'm a fool for beautiful games, so I decided to have a go at it. I've been playing for a couple of days and I'm amazed at how it captured my attention. I'm not normally into "war" type games, but Civ5 is so, so much more than that. After doing some Googling, I found this forum and thought I should register, as I'm sure I'll have questions. Plus, I like reading what others have to say. Great site!

Kind Regards,
Daniel in Tulsa, aka siouxdax

I've been lurking in the forums for over a month now, thought i'll just say hi to the civilized ppl.
I had bought civ4 vanila few years back and then stopped playing, now i c that mostly bts is played so i upgraded to keep up.
Wanted to know if civ5 is worth buying specially since i've become a fan of civ4. I havnt heard the best about civ5, but is it an acceptance issue with the civ4 players or its just not gd enough?

For people who like turn-based strategy but thought that Civ5 didn't really do it well enough, they may want to give Warlock: Master of the Arcane a go. It has just been released and it seems to do the tactical combat and 1 unit per hexagon better than Civ5 by most accounts. Also, there is Elemental: Fallen Enchantress which has a bit of a different focus and uses squares, but it's still in Beta 3 and there's still Beta 4 to go - the game won't be released for a few months yet at the earliest.

Hi,
I am GrumpyGamerLP. I love civ and civ-type games, rts, tower defense and city building games. I also recently started a Youtube channel where I do let's plays of these types of games.

I like posting in forums too. I always have. It's fun to make friends and acquaintances.

Wow over 508 forum pages of introduction as of the time of this post.
I am a 31 year old guy who has been playing computer games for about 24 years now. I feel old
Even now I still play Civ 1 in the dosbox.

My personal favorite leader to play as is Stalin. I just love playing the Russians.

[paulyus]

Hello!
My name is Paulyus!
The very first time I played Civilization 1 when I was about 11 years old back in Lithuania on my friend's dad's computer. It was a 40mhz pentium computer. First time me and my friend started it I was totally mesmerized by the view of continents and ocean. Building cities, creating units and communicating with other cultures was immensely appealing to me. I was hooked forever. I can't tell you how many thousands of hours I spend replaying original civilization. Followed later by numerous other civ games and expansions. I however am now 32 and haven't played it for many years but I guess I am back at it again. With D-fend Reloaded and DosBox - ahh nostalgia. Much simpler than living in this world...
Anyway...thanks to all of you civ fanatics for keeping this center running and still being able to find all the resources for reliving the past.

I need some help... i am in war with napoleon, and he seems to b backstabbing me quite often, his armies are around mines, in terms of strength.. going to war doesnt help me in any way... so any suggestions, should i go to war or solve by some diplomatic way

[Samuri]

Hello all you brilliant people! I/m new to this site but not new to Civ. I am extatic to be part of all the world leaders

I have found some civ5 music that can be played via vlc player. If you have installed via steam, then follow this path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\assets\Sounds\Streamed\Music

I gather that everyone already know about this and I just thought that it might help.
The music is incredible!

[Bandersnatching]

Hello, everyone. It actually took me a little while to find this thread (and 508 pages! Wow!). I've been lurking on these forums for about six months, waiting to get a new computer so I could get CiV. Well, I have. I played Civ3 a lot when I was younger, found Civ4 reallly awesome even though I never owned a copy of it, and have found CiV to be quite satisfying. In real life, I'm currently switching between college student and trail crew worker, but there's certainly time for CiV between those things.

Hello there, Civ 5 Gods and Kings is very exciting for me.

[cranium1]

Hi,

I started the series with Civ 3 back in the day and I guess that is when I registered on this site in 2003. I used to play a lot of Civ then but went off to college and took a long break. Was just surfing today and realized it's been 9 years! And this is my first post...

[Preston123]

Hello!
I have been playing Civ since the original game debuted in 1991. I remember having to call into work the day after I bought the game and tell them I couldn't make it in (I had stayed up all night playing the game!). Now that I am retired, I have a lot of time to play. I have been a big fan of Sid Meier's work -- including his non-Civ games (Master of Orion, Master of Magic, etc.), but the CIv series, especially CIV I, are his masterpieces. I am currently playing a CIV I game today.

Hello!

[tahumom]

Hi all,

Started playing CivRev in 08 and really loved it, joined and never posted. Now I'm playing CivIV and looking at CivV, so I figured I'd say hi to all. Really enjoy all three, and love the variety.
