Does anyone else feel that this game has a hold on them? Like when I'm playing I tell myself I need to stop to go and do something 'productive' but I just HAVE to see if I can get the Great Library built in my GP farm, then oh lets just see if we can get to that tech first, then just get oxford up and see if the BPT reaches 800 or not. And so on, things keep coming up which I simply need to see the outcome of. I will also make excuses, like 'just five minutes to check on my empire can't hurt'. Two hours later I'm well into the renaissance having capitulated half the continent and about to edge out a space victory or something. One 'hit' as such and I'm hooked for hours!
I've been obsessed with a fair few games in my time but none have captivated me like this one. I'm even finding myself thinking about strategies while not playing and sitting on a bus or something, daydreaming about how I could play a certain map differently, etc. Its just too damn fun, something about all the calculation involved is just so satisfying along with the level of variation and ridiculous depth that the strategic analysis can get to. So anyway, how many others are hopelessly addicted? Civilization rehab anyone?
