Civ4 is Civ and you're going to get your money's worth just trying to figure out if you like it or not LOL Not to mention, you're going to get you know you computer a LOT better too... Have fun and Civ's waiting for ya

I haven't read all the posts yet but i've got to say that comparing sim city to civ is like comparing an apple to a lizard Not being cynical, they are just different genres.

Thx for all the responses. I'll dig deeper into the combat system and stack units for offense AND defense. It is great to see such support and response from so many. And there is obviously a true effort to help ppl work out their problems. The crashes are seem to be a common theme to almost...

aaaah, laptop. didn't catch that. i played on my HP laptop with no issues but have one of the lap fan units. sorry i missed that detail...

Lots of ppl are having problems. To be on the positive side, i truely believe Firaxis and Sid will fix the bugs and balance issues. I am disappointed that it was released with SO many problems but if you look at the posts it's obvious it's the game that bugged. I play MANY other games on...

Thx, i appreciate the feedback and i'll definitely give that a shot. but it still doesn't explain one unit taking a city than i have defended just as they did. Strategy yes, RL it's not but it IS a reflection of it and some things game or not still need to be accurate, fun <> the bugs and...

Even with the bugs and massive frustration, i've played this blasted thing for days LOL

i'll check that out, but in RL one dude isn't going to take out 6+ tanks LOL Thx )

Ok... I want to start by saying that i i've played Civ since the first one. I think i played it for like 48 hours straight and i think Sid and Firaxis will make it right but it isn't "right" right now...fingers crossed. There is definitely a nasty memory leak when huge games get into the...
