Aww, darn. I figured as much since they usually are. I guess I won't be playing with my wife again until Aspyr catches up. Poop.

Does the patch install even if you don't yet have Brave New World? My wife and I decided not to upgrade to BNW until we finally finish a game that we started months ago. We knew BNW would break the game. That being said, I play on Mac and she on PC. Anyone forced to install the update who...

That was AWESOME! It gave me chills. I want to see them in concert.

I was thinking the same thing last week. If growable resources could be transported and reseeded elsewhere, that would be awesome. Maybe something like (though definitely not as complex as) the concept in Colonization. Players could slowly build a reserve of available resources that could then...

Add Germany and the Aztecs to that and you have the holiest Judeo-Christian number!

I agree but I think that they may have improved the stacked unit graphics to show a mix of the units on that tile instead of just the top-most unit. I think that would be pretty awesome. But I don't think they've removed stack attacks for the reasons you stated and more. It just doesn't make...

Again, no one has actually said that religion is gone, it's just speculation (and I also hope it's not gone, although I wish they would give Peganism more of an actual religious stance and add another one or two religions). My experience has been, also, that city building is generally a...

Thanks again for the link. However, I think I like the original better. This one does something I don't like...it gives the AI proper intelligence. You see, I actually enjoyed being able to beat the first level of the game. I've tried 3 times now in about 40 minutes and cannot freaking keep...

Wow! Awesome. I still won't upgrade yet since I have about a dozen other games I enjoy that I doubt are Win7 compatible (X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, anyone?) but this is a great leap. I assume it doesn't work for Mac. That would be the ultimate of awesomeness.

I love the image of the Hagia Sophia too; however, I don't think it is from the wonder video. I think it may be from the introductory video. The reason I guess that is because the Hagia Sophia is in a rather distant profile rather than up close. I'd assume that the wonder video for it would be...

I've played the original Panzer and Allied Generals many times and quite liked the use of hexagonal movement and design in those games. Sure they are 20 years old now, but I feel that this game will probably have a similar feel (plus 20 years of improvement and Civilization additions). If that's...

Yeah, I don't think that post regards the Facebook site. The Facebook site is still alive and growing, definitely not a failed project. They just released new fan pictures from Civ 3 and 4 today and still have been asking for advice on the next game (either Network or Civ5). I don't think it's...

I don't know tons about Norway but do know that it is a pain in the rear to take over in the original Panzer General. All those valleys! Denmark was a piece of cake for Germany but Norway was a bit of a pain.

Still no Civ5...sad times. I have a Facebook account and I do check it regularly, but my experience with Facebook applications, especially Farmville, is that they are flash-based memory hogs that suck my processor and memory dry while remaining slow and tedious, and that is on a year-old Apple...

I vote Scandinavia for the civilisation (who needs Finland and Iceland anyway?) and Copenhagen for the capital (since it is the best well known). Cnut the Great should be at least one of the leaderheads since he is the most well-known leader of medieval Scandinavia. My second vote would be for...
