Hi all! Im 46, married, and have two daughters who are growing up WAY to fast.
I am fairly new to Civ, started playing Conquests earlier this year. One thing I seem to have in common with many of you
I am really addicted to this game!
However, in spite of many hours of play, Ive felt like I am late to Civ and miles behind. Ive won once at Sid and several times at Deity and Demigod, but there are so many long time Civers who are really, really good at this (if you want to see some of them in action, lurk along with one of the SGOTM threads
very impressive and educational
). Ive been a little intimidated to do much posting, or to try to get into those SG games. Im just not in the same league as these folks.
But now we have Civ IV (I havent gotten it yet, probably will make it a Christmas present to myself). With IV being so new, Im figuring even the masters will have some unlearning and relearning to do, so even us rookies can contribute. I am looking forward being at the front end of the learning curve of a new game, cant wait to see the collective wisdom and experience on this forum grow over the coming months.
Thanks to the folks who make all of this possible.
