Hello, sorry for my bad english in a first time (I'm french, so sorry)
I'm play at Civilization since 1992 or 1993 I don't remember exactly but when I started I'm a little Boy (7-8 years old). At the beginning I played in my ATARI ST with the game in English, my brother see me how i do played at the game.
After a long time i'm played and I understanding the game. (English version is very difficult)
I played at this game and when my father buy his first PC I have buy Civilization 2. It's became my favorite games, I used it how many times and very longs hours in my student life. Before the arrived of cilization 3 my best victories was Destruction of the maximum ennemy in "prince" difficult in 1943 (I'm proud of that, it's my best games in Civ II) (I probably not the best players ... lol ... but I'm proud )
The arrived of civilization 3 are the first arrived of a civ animated world !!
I discovered this game who are the most interessant, who can be played long hours, where all games are differents !!! i discovered it can be beautifull for player's eyes. i don't speak for Civ 4 who are the best of all with for the first time for the cattles, 3 animated cow who moved on the map !!! It's Fabulous !!!!
The ressource principle who arrived with civilization 3 is fantastic !! A new reasons for make wars !! And now the religions !!!
Naturelly I remember principle in civilization 1, I don't see in the new games for exemple : when you make wars with one enemie and you captured two or more times is capital, the empire is divided in two ( "french" become "french + india" for exemple ) , i loved this principle it's for that's i speak about us !!
In the last addon, vassal are arrived ... since the times .... It's wonderfull !!!! A great idee !!!!!
I don't want speak about what i don't like for two reason : I'm loved this game and it's 2h00 am and i speak in english ... lol .... But i have critics for the last game, naturelly ! Since the times I played, i thinks i know a litlle the game !!!!
It's for that's I become member of civ fanatics web site !!!! Because I'm a fanatic of civilization since the first game of sid meier !!! And because all the official fan forum are in english (go to see the french web site for civilization 4 and you understand i'm obliged to speak english !!
