Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

I agree that chess and go and poker are much better games. I've seen some fans say that Civ 4 is like chess or go, but more complex, and think...whaaa? Not hardly. What it has is tons of detail,...

I just got this. Looks good, but is there any way to speed up the gameplay? I don't care for the animations and I'm sure some of the pauses could be removed.

Cool. That's definitely an older computer for modern games. You definitely could use lots more memory, too.

Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

As usual, Amazon is taking forever to ship this. It doesn't matter what mailing arrangements you make, they take three days to even get the thing out their door.

Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

Don't have the game yet, but I remember Civ 2 was surprisingly slow when the game had gotten going for a while and I had to pan across maps, and at that time I had a great system and a gig of memory,...

Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

I'd be very surprised if you didn't find having a gig or more very helpful in this game. Note I don't have it yet, but this was the case with RTS games even going years back, and with Civ 2. We're...

Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

Civ games are memory hogs. You will want at least a gig of memory, or you will have lots of slowdowns panning across the screen, and at other times too.

Laptop specs. If you can add in more memory, I bet you'll get a whole lot of mileage out of it.

Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

What kind of CPU and memory do you have? This looks like a game that's guaranteed to eat through a gig of memory like it's nothing.

I said I wasn't going to, but I broke down and ordered it yesterday. From Amazon. They usually add a day or two if not more extra into the shipping no matter what speed you tell them to ship it at.

Re: Civ4 - Review & Trailer

Some new laptops do come with replaceable video cards. The leap has finally been made.

I think your system would completely choke on Civ 4.

I wouldn't take the minimum ones too seriously. These days even the recommended specs are often well shy of the mark you need to get an enjoyably playable game.

The min specs were like a Pentium...
