civ 4 comes out soon

My life will simultaneously get a whole lot better and a whole lot worse.

Agreed with this assessment on the impact of Civ games. They're not a game, they're a lifestyle.

I had no idea the degree to which we're a bunch of geeks here. I thought I was the only one who warned his wife months ago that the new Civ would be out soon. She knew immediately what that meant.

Also, to bdids, I'd agree that you may be looking for more of a simcity type building experience but don't write off civ3/civ4. There are lots of ways to rule a globe, I prefer (mostly) nonviolent ones myself. Found city, defend, build culture, expand, repeat. I've found cultural domination to be the most satisfying victory condition. I hope they continue to expand diplomacy and culture in civ4.

I heard that Civ4 is going to give all cultures strategic resources, so you don't have to go to war just because you started in an area without saltpeter.
