Greetings!
Nice to finally stop lurking (registration took a while), I've always loved this place and finally joined because I wanted to discuss a few things about BNW.
I've been playing Civ from the beginning - II remains my eternal nostalgic favourite, III my personal nemesis. Complete CIV and CiV editions recieve, though quite different, equal amounts of love for different things. (I left I out because it was more teacher than game. A highly respected, eternally influential one.)
Oh, and my user name is missing an 'e'. Sorry about that, my tablet took it. I have a difficult relationship with android keyboards.
