Welcome New Members

It took me a awhile but i finally budgetted in the $50 to throw down for Civ IV this last week and I am really happy with the game. I have played quite a number of Sid's games over the years but CivNet was one of the first games I ever bought after getting my first Windows 95 machine although I cannot say i played the network aspects of it much due to the glitchy wait times.

Oddly enough while the game disc was lost a long time ago, I still had all my documentation on it until that finally was given away just last month... which made me really push to get the new game.

I must say it is real nice to sit down to a REAL strategy game again after playing so many other types over the years. That being said, nice to be here.

Been a big fan of Civ games from the beginning.
Retirement just gives me more time for this sort of thing.

Don't wish that!!

Hi, I am a newbie in this forum, but i've played civ since 1994 (Civ 1 and 2 and 3). I got civ 4 for christmas by my wife. Isn't she sweet, keeping in mind the 100's of hours i've been sitting at the computer playing civ!
I installed civ 4 Christmas day, and I was so disappointed, I almost cried . It's a shame: so many hours and money spent on developing civ 4, and the only thing civ 4 has in common with the Civilization-heritage is the name!!!
I've tried to play civ 4 app. 2½ times, but I can't play it.. It's to different .
Enjoy your civ 3 game, and don't think about civ 4. I'm back playing civ3 .

I study economics in between cIV sessions. I played civ2, but did not really get into civ3. Just when I was starting to play civ3, cIV came out. Now I'm hooked, and when I'm not playing I'm here reading about strategies.

Hi Everybody.

 

[V. Van Winkle]

I am new to civ 4 from civ 2. In my first game, I cannot buy a unit in production like I could in civ 2. I've got lots of gold but I can't figure out how to make the buy. What's the deal?

You need Universal Suffrage civic.

This is my 2nd post, I have been a Civ casual player since Civ I (DOS!). After half a dozen Civ4 games IMHO this is by far the best enjoyable version of the game.

MY question would be: what does the "Planet" map type found on the scenario menu look like? Strictly, it's a world builder save, not a map script, but is it playable? Does it look like "Terra" map script? Any hints?

Hello, everyone. I have been looking for a new game for a some time. I'm a great friend of strategy, escepially turn-based strategy. So, this game looks like perfect for me. Going to buy it very, very soon. ( I should have bought it already )

 

[hrhomer]

BTW - out of interest, I joined Civfanatics a couple of months before the release of Civ3 - the interesting thing is that I had just rediscovered Civ-II, and was looking for some strategies for it - I was completely oblivious to the fact that there was a Civ3 in production, and it wasn't until I came here that I found out about it! Anyone else like that for C-IV?

Yep - I happened to purchase Civ 3 on a lark, the day that Civ 4 came out. Just picked up 4 yesterday - the people on the Civ 3 forums are EXTREMELY helpful, and I'm sure that I'll have the same luck here!

I have been lurking here off and on, and just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful ideas I have seen here.

I got from being smashed into atoms at the cheiftan leve to winning the noble level. Plus I figured how to do culture flips of cities here. Way cool.

and now back to lurk and learn mode.

Hello I'm not generally new to Civ.
When I was young I played Civ1, later near the end of highschool I played the downloaded Civ3 demo.
I recently bought Civ 4 and I want to get into online play for a fun learning experience.
If you want to help

Hi everyone. I'm sixteen, I've been playing Civ since I was 5. I started with Civ 2, then of course Alpha Centuria and Call to Power, Civ 3, and now the best of all Civ 4. I recently went back and played Civ 1, it was insteresting to say the least.

May favorite nation to play is Russia as Peter. I also like America as Roosevelt.

Hello all

I have had all four Civs and had trouble getting away from them each time.
I love Civ IV but may go pick up a copy of Civ 3 for the great time I had making all the mods to units etc. lol

 

[jornaa]

Hello all Civ fans!
I am a 33 years old man from Norway.
I have been playing Civ since the very first game. Two years ago I switched to Mac, and have since had problems finding any decent games. I just recieved my copy of Civ 3 Complete from Aspyr and am looking forward to renewing my addiction. Unfortunately I soon found that there are some annoying problems with the Mac version. I hope that there is a patch/upgrade coming soon.
So long for now.

I'm new, my boyfriend got me hooked to civ 4... if only I had a better computer to play the game at my house.
