I always find it interesting to assess public opinion of a game a few weeks before its launch. We've now seen a number of hands-on previews, etc., so based on what you've learned of Civ 4 up to this point, how do you rate it?

186Seemingly exceeds all expectations. Buy on sight.36.02%67Has more than enough new content to be a worthy successor. Buy with no remorse.43.55%81Seems to be a standard (if promising) step for the series. Perhaps await a Poly review or two.11.83%22Borders on a formulaic rehash but might be worth trying. Definitely watch the public reaction post-release.3.23%6Might be worth a bargain bin purchase months from now. Let a few patches and some mods come first.2.69%5Completely disappoints. Neither patch nor mods could really fix the underlying problems.1.61%3The replay map shapes landmasses in to bananas.1.08%2I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

Not polite to not vote in your own poll.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus -
Sorry. Voted.

Hmm, so you either voted for the second or third option, interesting.

Indeed. I won't say which, though!

I'm very optimistic.

I voted for option 2, with still a fair chance that option 1 - exceeds all expectations - turns out to be true.
And I would buy on sight even if I believed option 3 to be the correct one. After all, this is my favourite game."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment

BTW, yin, I really like the way you couched the scale of this poll."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment

Thanks, Lockstep. Thanks for your vote and explanatory text. I'd love to hear from the person who says Civ 4 is complete disappointment, too.

There are a few things about the game that make me nervous. A few of the changes being made in the name of "simplifying" seem like they might be a little much. So of course I am going to withhold judgment until I get the game. But otherwise, I am extremely excited and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Option two for me.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

With the reveal that infinite railroad movement is no more, I can safely say this incarnation is exceeding my expectations of Civ. I never thought they'd change that. All the other changes are very intriguing and I can't wait to play it.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Option 2... there's still a few things I would like to see changed/added, but mostly it sounds like an awsome game... of course there's still the risk of being dissapointed, but I believe there's very little chance of thatThis space is empty... or is it?Comment

Option 1.
But don't worry Yin, I will go back here and complain endlessly if Firaxis fails me!
