Do you have kids??

[Smirk]

Thanks folks, I've barely been able to spare the 8 hours or so I've put into gotm20 in which appears to be a 30+ hour game.

Heh heh cracker, I'm hoping to introduce my daughter to civ and the like maybe civ5 by that time. Anything but Brittany's Dance Beat and I'll be happy though.

We've got a two year old girl, and she likes to sit in my lap while I play Civ3. I don't think she's ready for Deity games yet, but she enjoys pointing out the different colors on the map.

I think my wife would like to take a sledgehammer to my Civ3 disc. Maybe that should be an entirely different thread.

Congrats from me too Smirk.

I have a ten year old son and a seven year old daughter myself. My son plays lots of different games including Civ. He's more interested in modding and mapmaking though. He's even a member of this board but doesn't play the GOTM (yet... ).

IT IS !

@T3C: Your wife too. My daughter loves the French - "those are pretty pink ones Daddy!"

Aren't we a fertile lot?! Not bad for a bunch of computer bores!

I have a son, who was born 5 months ago about two feet away from where I am currently sitting, in our living room. He has not got the hang of Civ yet, being mainly preoccupied with "dribblin and starin at things" at the moment.

I also have an 18 year old step daughter, which would be great for babysitting except she is down the pub all the time!

Never had kids and I am 36. I am too much of a kid myself

I just take my Nieces and nephews, spoil them then give them back to my sisters

We have one son who is the love of our life and has changed me forever!!!! Happy fathers-day everyone!

Oh, I can't forget the puppy,...our "oldest"

No kids, but if I get married one day, I hope to have some.

Your dogs are adorable! Are they Bichon Frises?

EDIT: I meant to combine these two posts; sorry!

Yup, they are Bichon Frises. We are very fortunate to have these two. They're bright, cheerful, loving, cooperative - wonderful companions.

Mine are grown now. In fact we just got one out of high school and the other out of the state pen.

I have a single son of 16 months named Sam. He was so interested in what I was doing I let him play GoTM18. He got to about 1750 BC too.

His game will improve when he finds the B key. His settler was passing through China when he got bored and stopped.

We have one girl, 27 months (2 1/4). She likes to play with Ernie on Mommy's computer. Haven't tried her on Civ yet, but that could be interesting to see how it would go.

We adopted and are on the list for another. It could be any day, up to a couple of years. Sure makes for some interesting planning...

No kids for me (yet?) Maybe in 5-10 years. I think I need to grow up a little before starting that grand adventure.

My daughter just turned 17. She has been playing computer games since she was two. When I was playing "Wolfenstein" she would sit on my lap and open the doors for me by hitting the spacebar.

She evolved to "The Treehouse," to "Oregon Trail," various iterations of "Carmen Sandiego," to "Tomb Raider," to "Heroes of Might and Magic," "Diablo (1 and 2)" and "Baldur's Gate (1 and 2)."

I had to get her a computer when she was 12 so I could have mine back!

She is currently a big fan of "Dungeon Siege." She doesn't like Civ 3 much. It is too "slow."

5 year old boy and a 10 month old girl.
she usually falls asleep in my arms while i'm playing (wife's glad about that!!) and i hope it's not because my playing is so miserable.....
