@ terzaghi Thanks for the review it does sound interesting

If you like turn based strategy, try The Battle For Wesnoth

It's a pretty good game, and free too!



Thanks for the link, I will definatly give it a try just not sure when. I tend to obsess about strategy games and don’t want one to eat up all my time while I still have a big backlog of console games to enjoy.

I tried Battle of Wesnoth, but stopped before I got sucked in. I don't need a(nother) timesuck in my life at the moment. What I did play was pretty fun.

I bought the civ rev strat guide.
That L33T Sp33k for civilization revolution strategy guide fools!

Ha, no anyway I bought the guide because I am finding the game fairly difficult on the middle setting. I think I am not generating enough science so it takes me to long to learn new techs... I rolled up to the egyptions with armies and armies of upgraded "ninja catapults" with a +50% attack bonus vs cities and a general that added to my attack as well.. I was thinking to myself "these guys are toast."

Then just after I wage war on them about 3 planes come flying by dropping bombs on all of my armies...

sad really

Time to read the guide a bit and stop sucking!

I've been playing the 360 demo of Civilization and really enjoy it. I've never played this type of game before and there is defiantly a learning curve involved. I'll be purchasing soon.


A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

So I bought the game a week ago and finally had a chance to sit down and play it on Sunday.

Wow, I really like it!! I've never been into these types of games, but this one's fun. Talk about time flying by without knowing it. Stayed up way too late last night.

Played the tutorial level and got through that in an hour or so. Last night I tried the next difficulty and got myself a cultural victory!! Only after sandbagging it for many turns with my mighty army, though. I thought for sure the computer was going to dominate--I could hardly win any battle at the beginning. Then, I turned the corner and started stomping on everyone.

I'm sure the computer will put me in my place when I try the next difficulty. Games are good at humbling me.

Cultural victories are tough, at least in the normal game. I'm impressed!

It was only on the second easiest difficulty. Today I'm gonna try the next one up. Probably get my a*% handed to me.

They must have made that game easier than the normal one. I can barely win on the 2nd from the bottom.

I played the game for a couple weeks straight, I'll be back at it once we get Star Wars Unleashed finished.
