[Orion66]

Am 25. I started to play civ when it came out. So I was 11 - 12 ?

Am 38. Civ1 was the very first thing I loaded onto my very first computer back in 94ish...

Hello,

I was 12 when I started to play this game. Since then I play and buy each version of the game, and now I am 26 and a university student.

 

[Toncig]

I'm 17, been playing civ since '94.

I knew Civ 1 lately, when i was 18 - i'm 25 now. I played civ1 on amiga 500. Then i got civ 2 when i was 20 on ps1.

 

[sgrig]

I'm 21, and started playing Civ1 when I was 11.

Hehe; I'm 45 and decided I would take 2 weeks of holidays starting on the 21rst October. Life is good; no responsibilities, money, beer, Civ 4, and time to play. Can't wait to nuke some people who don't convert to my religion

52, and hopelessly addicted to all things Civ!

 

[Rexflex]

33, and it won't be long before I'm handing the Civ torch on to the little one.

I actually starting playing civ 1 when I was visiting my aunt and uncle for the summer. I had nothing else to do so I played games on my uncle's computer, one of them being civ 1. After my first war of attrition with the russians to my north (which I would eventually lose due to terrible financial management of my empire), I was hooked. I was about 12 or so then and am now 23.

Glad to see a couple of 50-somethings here, I hit 50 in March. Maybe I should apply for the position of "board mom".

That decade poll sucks, IMO. It puts me in with the 16 year-olds even though I'm 25. Too big of a difference there. At 25 people have wife/kids/good job/etc. It's much better to do it by age like:

1-12
13-19
20-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60+

Or even make the brackets half the size of those to make it even more accurate.

 

[weakciv]

started with civ 1 in '92 I have only not played SMAC. im now 28

 

[ComradeDavo]

I am 20. Been playing Civ 3 since it was released. Was playing Civ 2 'Test Of Time' for a while before that.

 

[Red Door]

I started when I was 10, now im 14 about to be 15.

OK, i've decided to start a poll (after some requests) to find how old the medien age is for a civ player.

I'm convinced that it has the highest medien age to basically any game out there.

The players seem to be more mature and well rounded individuals... (not that age really has anything to do with it though)

Like i said in the last thread, i started playing when i was 12 (probabely first tried civ 1 when i was 10) and now i'm 23...

OK, here it go's!

 

[Atlanto]

OK, updating poll...

 

[Red Door]

again i am 14, started playing when i was 10.
++++

When you make a poll like this, make sure your limits are non-inclusive. Now a 25 year old person has two options. Better would have been 20-24 and 25-29, for instance.
