Re: Compare and Contrast: SimCity 4 and Civ 3
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] civ 4 comes out soon [/ QUOTE ] My life will simultaneously get a whole lot better and a whole lot worse. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed with this assessment on the impact of Civ games. They're not a game, they're a lifestyle. [/ QUOTE ] 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.

[/ QUOTE ] But half the fun of that game is blood for oil! Freakin [/ QUOTE ] Definitely part of the fun. I play kind of a 'hybrid' boomer style. I get annoyed if my plans are disrupted by lack of resources [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] and I have to attack before I'm ready. Also, my diplomacy is a little weak compared to the AI, so I have to remember to concentrate on trade or I fall way behind in tech.
