Re: I hate seeing *** posts, and some civ4
I wrote an original Slashdot published review for Civ III about 3 yrs ago - I got a nice little line in there about telling the Linux community this was a game that one should buy Windows for.
I've played Civ 4 and I really like it - feels more streamlined - but I've NEVER played it generally from a military standpoint unless I could justify it - (me and a guy on an island where he has no iron and I do, for example) -cause it's a toughie to protect EVERYTHING - You sort of have a hedgehog defense - with stacked strongpoints, and there's just too many damn ways for armies to get around you - no such thing as static lines in this game unless you wanna cough up a LOT of units - LOL. but as a whole, I really like it - bitching aside about bad beats - I'd love to get a group together to try the multiplayer option sometime.

I think bicyclekick is really playing this heavily. Maybe you can hook up with him. In a gaming way.

Re: Civilization IV, Baddest Beat of my Life
In Civilization terms, the Iraqi insurgents are probably on the level of Riflemen or Grenadiers. Yet they're not exactly rolling over for our stacks of Mech Inf, Modern Armor, and Stealth Bombers. The archers probably picked up some modern technology. Maybe they're strapping sticks of dynamite to their arrows.
Speaking of dynamite arrows, has anybody played Gun? Fun little game. I was a little surprised that more hookers get killed in that game than in Grand Theft Auto. |

I'm playing Dawn of War now. Needed something more quick and explosive.

Re: Civilization IV, Baddest Beat of my Life
All,
For a total noob at these games, as in I have never played even once, should I pick up CIv 4 or go to an earlier version. Thanks, Calda |
