Durn. I got WoW instead of Civ4. You guys will probably never see me again, as I am sucked into what is possibly the most addictive game ever. According to what I've read, at least.

I know that I would love WoW, but I refuse to buy it because I also know that I would become hopelessly addicted. I'd have to be able to quit work and have a wife that didn't mind seeing me for weeks at a time if I started playing that. I was addicted enough to MUD's for a while during college, this just seems like the next step up from that....more complex and with graphics. I'd be doomed.

Mwahahaha. Give in to the dark side Ken. You know you play too much WoW when you tell your spouse/SO "Not tonight honey, we are going on an Molten Core run."
If you have not yet, create one character of each gender and race and make them /dance and tell jokes /silly. The gnomes are just perverse.
I'm going back to work work work now.

Roger is a WoW nut. I rarely see him any more.
I really enjoyed the game, but I don't game enough to make paying a monthly fee sensible.

Good to know. So how do you like the game now?

I loved it before, it was just frustrating for it to keep crashing!
It really is the best Civ yet. I'm currently deep into a large map world with six other Civs. I'm far and away in the lead, but can't seem to win that darn diplomatic victory!
BTW...barbarians are a major beeatch in Civ4. They make life extremely difficult early on.

Great. I never managed to win on anything higher than Chieftan in Civ III (or survive, for that matter)... Guess I'm in for it.

yeah...Civ4 is quite a bit more difficult than Civ3 was.
Relationships with your neighbors is another very significant change. It really matters now.
I used to always play as a total peacenick, rarely built any troops. You can't do that now. Barbarians don't just pillage your cities - they take them!
The option of turning barbarians off is still available (thank god!) I'd recommend playing a few games with the barbarians off first. Get used to the game first. It's really tough to figure out all the new stuff when you're battling barbarians constantly.

You can't just make them sedentary any more?
Oh, the neighbor thing mattered in Civ 3 a bit; after I start breaking alliances to invade places, no one trades with me nicely any more. Imagine that...
