    Civilization, the Board Game

    I had a concern that Eagle would not make it, even tho they had some good stuff in Attack and such. I sure am glad that I got a copy of the board game now that I am hearing here that ther are no copies remaining in retail ! It is a very beautiful game, but some disagree on the rules and...

    What kind of UU for modern mexico??

    You are fogetting the economic impact on the invaded Nation...lol. Seriously, when you think about it, you could have a unit like this that is akin to the missionary. They invade the host country, pick a city, and boom, you get the city to have 10% of the invaders Nationality. This increases...

    The music in this game is freaking amazing

    I REALLY like the music also. The first thing I did when I got the game was to pop in the music CD and listen to it with my wife while the kids were sleeping. We had a great and relaxing conversation...it a nice memory. :)

    Hanging Gardens Population bonus not working ?

    Thanks ! I am almost 100% sure that pre 152 patch that it applied to all you built afterwards. Probably nerfed it due to it being just too powerful. Now, unless you have many cities, its a bit weak since it comes so early in the game. Multiplayer it would still be very good tho. I will...

    Hanging Gardens Population bonus not working ?

    The health bonus is there, but the pop bonus does not seem to be working, or at least in most cities. I start a new city, and it is at one. Shouldn't it be at 2 ? Is there some requirement for each city ? The new cities have the health bonus. Anyone else have this problem since the patch ...

    I can say that I am bummed that they left out quite a few units. I REALLY noticed it when I first got the game. It must be becuzz they are going to add them later. I mean, no nuke subs???

    Can not build farms without irrigation,even with the correct tech advance

    Pretty self explan. Anyone else having this problem? Very annoyo since I was really looking forward to finally improving those problem cities! Just will not allow the improvement even tho I have a farm next to the tile and have the advance.

    Is the game manual complete and good?

    I have the strat guide, and it is WAY good. It REALLY is useful when it comes to the civics, and combinations of different civics and such for different approches. It has game tester hints everywhere, and lots of stuff on multi-player that I have not even gotten to yet. It is missing a unit...

    What the heck is wrong with you people?

    Just my own 2 pennies worth. Been playing Civ since the first one came out in 1991. Been playing video games since before asteroids. I remeber when PTW came out, and it was totally useless. Not as many justified the rushed release of that mess. It sat on my shelf for a month till they got it...
