Just to ask you, how many of you have played Civ1?![]()
1st PC game I ever bought although I'd been playing Avalon Hill and SPI strategy games since the mid-70s. No more map to spill coffee over or little cardboard counters to lose

We are getting quite an influx of new members to the site, presumably because the release-date for Civ-IV is getting nearer & nearer, and people are coming here in search of news & info.
As such, we thought that its probably a good idea to have an "Introduction / Welcome to CivFanatics thread" where people can say hello and tell us a bit about themselves.
For new members, please use this thread to tell us a little about yourself, your civ-addictions etc etc.
@regulars, please make people feel welcome, but try not to drown the thread - ensure that we keep a reasonably high ratio of wheat-to-chaff.
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?
Long time lurker. I have enjoyed the wonderful insights so many have provided to may my CIV experience more enjoyable (and less frustrating). I'm in the great state of WI in the USA, where we are currently getting out first snow (making it to December before snow is a nice thing).
