Fellow Fanatics,
Last week I was in a flight returning from Funchal (Madeira Island) to Lisbon after a business trip. I was travelling alone and the plane (an Airbus A319 or A320) was carrying less than half of its passenger capacity. I was seating at the last row and the nearest person was seating three rows ahead. I don't know about you guys, but I like to be alone or at least in a quiet place when I play Civ, because I want to be focused on the game. So, just as the plane was flying above the Atlantic Ocean, I turned on my laptop and started a new game of Sid Meier's Civilization. Unfortunately, the flight from Madeira to Lisbon is very short (1h15m) and soon I had to stop playing.
It was a great experience. Next tuesday, I'm going to Ankara (Turkey). It will be a long journey (via Zurich and Istanbul) and I will return on thursday via Munich. As I will travel alone, I'm already anticipating a great opportunity to play Sid Meier's Civilization.
In the past, I have played on a train from Lisbon to Beja. Besides playing aboard vehicles, I have special pleasure on playing at different locations (foreign countries, during holidays, etc). I also love to play outside at terraces during the hot Summer nights (in Portugal, it is not so unusual to have nights with 25 ºC).
I would like to hear similar experiences from you. Where do you prefer to play Civ? What was the oddest place where you played Civ?
If I ever become a millionaire, I will certainly take Civ to space...
