Volcano, flood and disaster

[CrONoS]

Anyone have seen volcano, flood or any distaster so far?

I think it was a good addition in Civ3 Conquest? And in my last games I dont have seen any....

see ya,

AFAIK there are no natural disasters in Civ IV. Volcanoes were fairly hit or miss for me in Civ III. I liked the idea but I thought the implementation was a bit off.

None

I told my 5yo who loves volcanoes to help load Civ4 with me and we would then look for volcanoes cos they would have made nice ones in 3d. Very dissapointed!!!

nada....not even attacks by barbarians or anyone for that matter and I'm in 1000+AD....

crazyness...how there's so much inactvity in the game. feels like all i'm doing is pressing the space bar and watching the whale jump up and down. ;-)

Strange...

My first game was "active" even if i tried to avoid war at all cost since i wanted to learn how to play the games.

I feel like they're more things to do than Civ3... even if the advisors are (sadly) not useful. The crappiest one is the millitary advisor.

See ya,

Fortunately not!

And about not being attacked by barbarian: chose a larger world next game, or chose continents, not too many civs on it. Then the barbarian WILL spawn from the fog.

Scouting the surrounding terrain might be a good idea as well if you want to chat with some barbarian

God..Im' ready to turn the barbs off they are such a pain...i even went into the worldbuilder and dleted a few of them to even things up...They seem to get archery and axemen before I do..

Why Didnt Vocanoes and such make it in...I feeel they would add a lot to the game...

Maybe it is just me but I don't like the idea of my perfectly set up empire, cranking out my warmachines in perfectly set timeing and then going to war then finding out a bunch of natural disasters ripped thru my land completely shafting me...

Natural disasters are definitely a love/hate feature. If they were done properly they could wreck civilisations and its not usually fun to lose in the middle of a fun game thanks to a random event. I can see why they left something out that most of their customers will turn off most of the time. Its a classic candidate for an xpack feature once all the "must have" items have been dealt with.

2 games played....NADA

watching 2 other game reports, not stated

would you call the AI pillaging 3/4 of all tiles, followed up by off shore bombardment until defenses reached 0, a disaster?
