Thinking about buying this game, cant go wrong really for 10euro incl. the expansions.

What are your thoughts on it?

I still play this constantly four years after release, basically the best turn based strategy game on the PC and as you say you can't go wrong for a tenner. Buy it now.

K will definally order it so. Always had a interest in them so I hope i like it lol!

Yep, absolutely brilliant game. I played it for ages when it first came out, not so much now. I played Civ 3 as well, equally excellent game, even if it isnt as "pretty" as 4.

Alpha Centauri got me started on the civ games.

I've been playing Civ III for quite a while now. Is IV that much better?

III was the only Civ I didn't play to death. IV is vastly superior.

IV is excellent. I never enjoyed III, having played I and II a _lot_, but IV seemed to fix everything that was annoying about the series.

Oh I dunno about that,he might when he realises its 5 in the morning and he been playing for 12 hrs straight :pac:

I never really got into the game, and that's because I never really gave it a chance I guess. In saying that . . . a lot of my friends still play this game on a very regular basis.:)

Civ 4 is vastly superior to Civ 3.

Bewarned. You will loose many many many many hours to it.

Yeah Civ IV is a great game. If you love strategy then it's pretty hard to go wrong with the Civ series in my opinion. I have fond memories of playing Civ II some years ago during my summer holidays, I'd start playing at 10:30 AM and before I'd know it, it would be five o'clock! Crazy. That game would really make you lose track of time if you weren't careful.

We tried to have a 4 player match in my clan before...me and one of the lads aren't much for planning and waiting...whereas the other 2 were.

We tried to build things quick and got frustrated after 2-3 hours...

Its a lloooonnnggg game

Now I have that blasted tribal/African song running through my head! The one that plays over the main menu.

smk89 · 10-10-2009 12:30am

its the kind of game ul play for days at a time, abandon for a few weeks and then go back to. like a yoyo

kenon · 10-10-2009 3:27pm

I havent played in a few months but I just saw an "Ireland" mod which could be fun.

Link

^Think I will download that to see what its like. hopefully it will be good!

pwd · 11-10-2009 10:09pm

I preferred civ 3, personally.
All the civ games are terribly addictive and compulsive alright

randomchild · 11-10-2009 10:17pm

OP where is this on offer for a tenner?

Yakult · 12-10-2009 1:40am
