Using Civ for my dissertation, can you help?

[Meryt Amun]

Hey guys,

I'm a gamer and archaeologist, and have combined the two for a new dissertation topic looking at video games and perceptions of ancient Egypt etc.
If anyone can share any comments/opinions on the games then that would be great.
Particularly, have they affected your interest in archaeology/ancient Egypt, and what are your opinions on their portrayals, graphics, accuracy etc.
Alternatively (or even better, as well!) you can do my quick online questionnaire
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YXPM3YQ.
Every little counts, so thanks in advance!
Happy gaming.

Took the survey and dang not even a cake at the end.

Personally I always been interested in ancient civilization and history in general, for me documentaries and educational shows (from the likes of Nat Geo,History Channel,Discovery Channel) increase my curiosity,knowledge and interest of history much more then games have, although games certainly add a little bit to all that.

Also took the survey. GL with your studies.

Took the survey.

Video games are way more interesting than pottery shards and flint. Well, even the survey beats those!

Done the survey.

I've been fascinated by ancient Egypt for a long time. Most ancient cultures in fact. The wealth of information in CIV has reinforced my fascination.

Good luck with your study. Do you have a title already? I also took the survey and it can probably give you some overview of what people think. Anyway I doubt its of much scientific value (for example multiple questions within the same page that allow for infinite blabla).
