    Why play Civ 1?

    I think it is so wonderful because the it is feeling very arcade by its looks (and some of its flaws) but still is advanced in terms of complexity and detail. Even after more than 20 years you can play a game that you have never played before. What I liked the most was learning to play...

    Real Madrid 2002 Vs Ajax 1995:which Team Was Better???

    I would say Ajax, but I am an Ajax supporter (although not very active :O) so my vote is a little bit biased (too) But Real Madrid isn't so elite momently, even if they have the highest turnover of all Football clubs. But Real Madrid is my favourite Spanish club. I can't understand why...

    Which Italian team looks best for next season

    The most powerfull striker is playing for Internazionale, but they won't win the scudetto. (imho) Juventus has made the best start, but I think AC Milan's team is at least as good as Juventus' team. Both teams have bought some good players or kept their best players. In my opinion the transfer...

    How do you warm up your homes?

    How many timesyou have been in love?

    I've been in love only once. And it wasn't responded. Momently I am not really interested in a relation, but you never know what tommorrow is bringing you. I am little bit 'difficult' and I hope to find that 'very special girl' at certain moment. :) In my honest opinion: Who are you to give...

    Has anyone out there ditched Civ3, and gone back to Civ2, simply for the play-ability

    Civilization III is a better simulation, but I like the higher 'arcade level' of Civilization II or even Civilization II. Althrough I don't no if there is actually a higher arcadee level in Civilization II. Maybe it is just the more simple interface, and the more smooth gameplay (just my...

    Remember playing civ the very first time?

    In my first game I had no idea how the city growth was guided by rules. I had also no understanding of city sizes, production and trade. But at a certain moment I 'found' the city of Basra with an impressive city size of 16. By that time I didn't know I should ever be able to have a dozen of...
