Buy the game? I would anyway.Originally posted by Ninot
If the Greeks were left out for whatever reason/blunder, would it cause anyone not to buy the game? or would everyone trudge on and wait for the mod?
Be Sad? Yes.
Buy the Expansion with Greeks? Yep.

I would buy the game anyway, but I would be sad because I wouldn't be able to keep my longtime tradition of always playing the first game on any civ version with the greeks.
I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

Notice nobody from Firaxis is confirming anything one way or the other. Could it be they enjoy seeing us suffer? Sadists!

I'd tend to agree with that. We all are part of the "buzz" they hope a new product will generate before its release.Originally posted by Xorbon

paiktis and Markos would probably seethe and explode, organize a petition, et cetera.
The British Museum would not give in to demands to release Sid, the Turks would occupy half of a small Aegean islet, and the Venetians blow up an arms store in a classical ruin.
And a Greek actress of a certain age would appear as a weepy Chorus.

Almost makes it worth it to hope they don't put in the Greeks

A bunch of nerds sitting around a Civ 4 forum discussing *shock* Civ 4 is hardly buzz. When I am sitting in my local coffee shop and I hear some elderly couple discussing "that new Sid Meier game," then I will know there is buzz

Well, just you wait for another 40 years. There'll be lots of elderly folks who were Sid fans. That is if we haven't all died from Civ withdrawal.Originally posted by DerSchwarzfalke

Why wait 40 years? There's a fair share of civvers who've passed the 50 on this site already, and a number of 60+ people too
Plus, withdrawal? That implies we'd ever stop playing Civ

Well, suppose there's no sequel to Civ4. Would we all keep obsolete computers for decades just to be able to play Civ?Originally posted by Locutus

I plan to become a ruthless dictator who conquers the world. So I figure once I'm there, it'll be close enough to living Civ for me.
Now... to formulate my plans of world domination through use of the Canadian military
