This histogram is exactly what I expected. This histogram could be applied to pretty much any game in existance. Of course there will be some outliers, but the core of gamers these days is typically 15-27 years of age. Not saying it's not great that there are some older gamers...just repeating some stats that I've heard.

What's interesting about the histogram is it shows a higher incidence of 25-30 yr/old playing civ then 20-25. Much higher in fact. I don't know if it's because these young kids now 'adays don't have the paitence for turn-based strategy, or the ceontect in civ appeals more to a mature audience. I think one thing we all need to do is encourage more female gaming!

BTW - I left it out of my earlier post, but I am male.

13
Male
Civ 2, 3 and 4

Pretty much learnt how to use a computer whilst playing civ 2, but I wasn't that good.

I wasn't that old when playing civ 2, I'd watch my Dad for hours on end, then stole his ideas, such as fortifying units on every border square. (I'm sure somebody else use's that.)

Male, 43, Brasil. Very lucky to be married to an understanding wife .

Loved Civ I (started on 1995) and Civ II.

Lost interest on Civ III before even trying to play at most difficult level.

Civ IV is the best, started one month ago, now trying to win on huge pangea at Emperor level.

SMAC was interesting. Colonization had nice ideas, but the final phase was very boring.
