Youngest Civer?

[FuTuREteCh]

ive been playing and since i was 10...i think

 

[Communisto]

wow, i go civ 2 when i was seven, im 13 now. To be honest i think that game really changed where my life was going. It got me hooked on history and that in turn got my school marks up. jeez that really makes me think....... if only there was a fun math game

I played Civ2 1 time with my friend at like 6 or 7. I got Civ3 at 7 but didn't play it at 8.
Now I'm 11, and play when i can get it to work.
And I remember my friend Kyle (lives in Bama now, only 10) played Civ2 when he was really little and ran me through how to play Civ3. Although, i didn't become good until reading the manual

I started playing CivIII when I was 12-13, but I started playing SMAC around age 10.

I got CivIII when I was 13-14, Alpha Centuari after that, then Civ2 and just recently I got a copy of Civ1 for DOS to play in DOSBox on my Pocket PC. That game really has changed so much...

My friend who introduced me to CIV I (when I was, um, 24) has let her son play CIV III from her lap for the last couple of years, since he was two. Of course, he only has the vaguest idea of what he's doing, but I bet he'll be showing up here in five or six years....

if i used to play civ 1 at 18 y. old, and played on my commodore 64 at 8, how old am I?

 

[SobærVireal]

I was 9, if I recall correctly. Started on Civ 1. 12 years later, I'm still hooked.

Started playing Civ 2 at 7 years old....I'm 13 now....Wow...I remember when I was the youngest on the forum, thanks LLXerxes and Fruit-Smack!

I started playing at 20, while in college; although I only played two games.
Why only two games? I found the game so addictive that I had to ban myself from it or my coursework would have gone downhill! I started playing again at age 26, back in Oct. 2002, and I'm still loving it!

EDIT: Posted to the wrong forum (had two open at the same time....)

 

[AA-battery]

Well, I played Civ3 a couple of years back when I was only twelve but my brother started when he was only seven.

 

[silver 2039]

I played Vanilla CIv when I was 12. Now I have C3C and I'm 14.

 

[Drakan]

Erm, I started playing Civ2 in the PSX1 when I was 22 y.o. back in 1.997 and thanks God for that, otherwise my marks would've been tainted back at college and high school.

Bought CivIII when I was 11 and when it first came out. How old am I?

 

[RegentMan]

Civ II at about age ten, Civ III and expansions when they came out. Fun stuff!

 

[Bartholomaï]

I was 11 when I played Civ2.

Since I was 8, I am spoiled.

 

[zerksees]

My kids started when they were three and five on chieftain with just a little help (set tech slider). Wife shut it down when son started acting like a swordsman. Should have disabled the unit graphics...

Oh well at least I know they like it.

Wife shut it down when son started acting like a swordsman.

The thought of that made me giggle a little bit.........

The question should be, what is the youngest possible age that someone could fully understand how to play the game?
