I've been gone since the 6th, what'd I miss?

Every city now has at least 4 sims, and there are going to be about 100 expansion packs for those little guys/gals.

Here in Norway, I've seen 20th of July on the (web)shops I've checked. I doubt it's a trick as so many has that date plus it would be illegal here. Also, a popular Norwegian webiste for gamers has 20th as a date. Now I'm thinking if I should pre-order one as it might actually come to me before that date if I'm lucky or if I should pay a bit more in an "manual" shop on Friday and be sure I don't get it Saturday (or bad-bad luck Monday).

As with all games I'll end up buying, I'll download the pirated version first. There are no downsides in downloading it (unless you have no idea what you're doing). Even though I bought Warlords shortly after release, I still have no idea if the cd works. Hell, I don't even know if the cd is in the box, as I have never opened it. The box is for viewing only

I won't buy it before I have seen some reviews. And I also have to consider the other things I want to buy too.

EU3 NA?

[Nikolai]

Among other things. A stereo system is also on that list.

Here's a question

If a Chariot attacks a Phalanx, do they both get +100%?

I'll buy it... And, probabily, a new laptop to play it.

1-2 Forts = canal!

I wonder if that works with a city: WFFCFFW

Forts can also be built outside your borders, though they don't have all the benefits they have inside.

But they're useful with BTS!

I bought a new laptop a month ago.

That sounds great! I remember how useful a city or two in Panama was in Civ1!

Jeez, I'm nearly 28 years old but eager like a 8 year old boy on Christmas Eve! Haven't got any feedback from the webshop where I ordered from yet, hope it will be by me in time...

[Robert Plomp]

I think that the fort-channel thing only works like this:

X = fort
C = City
S = Sea

SXCXS

Forts can only be placed directly next to the water.
So indeed, this is possible as well:

SXXS

[MoonWolf]

SH*T!!! Just called the webshop to ask if my Civ4 BtS would be shipped today (haven't heard anything yet). But they said that the supplier has suddenly changed the date to 27th of July

But this is probably enough to allow you to cut many continents in half where there are a lot of lakes.

N'est pas???

Specs?

I'm on topic, because I want this new notebook mainly to play BtS...

[Nikolai]

AMD Turion64 X2 1.6 GHz, 2 GB, GeForce GO 7600. Runs smooth even though it has Vista.

If you have fast connection and do not care for a box/printed manual, get it from Steam or D2D then - it will be available there on 24th.

[MoonWolf]

Thanks, could be an option if I don't find it in any other shops. Might wait anyway though, I'll probably have it the 26th anyway and don't have so much time to play during the week. We'll see
