Sorry Civ makers, Im not going to buy it for two reasons:
1) It smells too much like RTW , and I have that already
2) Im going to buy BF2 which rocks
Ha !
Does this revoke my membership, shall I cut up my card now ?

Will I buy Civ4?
HELL YEAH!
Likelyhood is i'll have to get a new computer first though. Which means I need to get off my ass and get a job. But it will be worth it for Civ4

Probably won't buy it. I'll have to get a new computer first, I hate this generic 3D crap (particularly in games that really don't need it), the limited techs/units shifts the game back towards the traditional end of the gaming spectrum (something that defeats the purpose of the game itself), the modders will now be few & far between because of the tech requirement (3D rendering) - which will hurt the chances of a Civ5 since many of their ideas come from the players themselves anyway, nothing new is really being added (outside of religion) - while much has been removed, and I have a strange feeling Civ is heading the way of the MOO series.

Possibly. I'm not sure if my 'computer' will handle the graphics as they're advertised, and I can't (currently) afford to buy a new one. :-( I'm happy with Civ3 using the RaR mod for the time being.

I was checking over the internet whether my Radeon all-in-wonder 8500DV has the texture and lighting thing and I have found this:
"ATIs new SMARTSHADER technology takes advantage of the DirectX 8.1 features to enable more complex and realistic texture and lighting effects" (It is about the radeon 8500 chip)
Does it mean that my video card has the T&L thingy that I need to play Civ IV?
Sorry for the off topic question. Thank you for the answer, specially if the answer is "yes".

Judging from the specs at the moment both the radeon 8500 and the 9200 (the card i have) will be able to play the game.

Sorry, I've gotten tired of it already. What a waste of $50. At least I got a new headset from it. A shame I can't get my order back. I hope that the full game is better than the demo. Not much that wasn't in Desert Combat.

Civ IV coming out? It's like Christmas for grownups. Wahoo!

Also, if I can waste $50 on that steaming pile of sith which is Dungeon Lords, then I can certainly pick up The Greatest Game Ever Played!
And while I'm complaining, why can't one buy the expansion packs for Spellforce in the States? I had to import the expansion for Sacred from the UK. Yeesh.

Most probably, as there is many very promising and long-waited things into it (Civics, 3D, enhanced culture...).
Though, I prefer to use my usual method to avoid wasting my money : download it first, and buy it later if it's worth it, so I plan to do just that.

LOL!
Why would any of you spend your time on these boards and not buy Civ 4???
You obviously at some point played a CIV game, and know how good they are, so why oh why would you think that this new one is not going to be better???
Good developers always improve their games, and I think the Civ lot have more than done their bit for us to show confidence in their abilities.
If you really dont like Civ or the idea of Civ 4, why do you spend your time on these boards??? Crazy...
