    GOTM 74 First Spoiler - 1ad

    I didn't want to sound like I was griping but since results have been posted and my Challenger pt still did respectably well I'd like to share my GH experience in GOTM74. Quite Fun Though

    GOTM 74 Final Spoiler

    I finished a dom win about the same time Murky posted (almost 1700AD). I took the Challenger save and note that on Noble, it's not quite as intimidating as I thought it would be.

    No Civ Vs here, do you think Civ IV and its modding community will die?

    CIV is still a fun game. Also, CIV is written in a different language, right? Certain people will continue to feel more comfortable with the former even as the latter gains its foothold. Cripes, people today still mod Mar*o and F*re Emblem. Sprite games! REALLY! Hobbyists always find some...

    No downloadable content

    It would be cumbersome, to say the least, to have a long-list of "Inca exclusions" because of the new business model.

    The big conclusions thread

    I want to be fair and note that 'better' is a subjective term. The player base currently has differing opinions on the quality of 4 vs. 5. Real objective data is still forthcoming as many of our employed/married/busy comrades still won't open the game for a couple of days yet, and those that...

    Civ 4 reigns supreme

    Maybe it's the rule of first adopters? I bought the antho, played C4 first. C3, C2, and C1 all play like a pile of bricks to my head. Did anyone that broke their cherry with C3 or C2 experience the same backwards incompatibility that I did?

    I miss you, Soren... so much

    Brian Reynolds is partly responsible for all those inane Facebook notifications that I keep getting but am too lazy to block for three different incarnations of the same game? :cry:

    I miss you, Soren... so much

    I hope I'm not the only one who bought the Red Civ Anth Boxed Set. It comes with the "Making of Civ IV" DVD. The entire process for making Civ IV really is a fanatic's *** dream. It absolutely solidifies the worthiness of Soren to Sid's Legacy in the annals of time. In the meantime, however...

    Is anyone besides me happy with the game?

    Reserving judgment. Demo is sitting at home waiting for me. Credit Card is sitting at the ready to rush out and grab the box version. I haven't played CivIV in ages since I lent my CD out and cannot seem to re-obtain it. Since I've been away from C-IV for so long, I think a new experience with...

    Wait a minute now!

    Meh. They probably just wanted to showcase another language? And/or kick another language? Historical accuracy is not as important as fun factor. I can't really tell the difference anyway.

    The demo is just 1 fixed map!

    Addendum: Preserving Sanity? That's why you are willingly frustrated [until Friday!].

    The demo is just 1 fixed map!

    If they gave us even two maps with the demo, that would be too much. Like the game? Buy it! Don't like the game? Don't buy it, and remove the demo from your hard drive while you're at it. Can't spring the retail price at present? Well... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Can't obtain retail because...

    Civ 5 Menu (Nom Nom Nom)

    Ya know... I think this is probably typical for a lot of civ players. We would probably be healthier if Release Day came packaged with a Convention Hall with food vendors. If we all brought laptops, the cost of food would keep junk to a minimum, but acceptable since it's 'available.' The other...

    Civ 5 Menu (Nom Nom Nom)

    Agreed. Ramadan just ended you capitalist infidels! In any case, since this "game" amounts to sitting for a number of hours reducing calorie intake so as not to become an even more disgusting pimply-faced, hot-pocket-eating, bedpan-utilizing, bengay-packing introvert that shuns the daylight...
