Firaxis is "Calling all Spies!"

Still waiting on an answer to the above, or was civ 3 really better than CIV?

What does "better" mean? Seriously. In particular, in context of its time or in context of today?

Well, according to Wodan and Sarco, good games need longer to be developed.

pwnd.

I said no such thing. Nice strawman.

You need time to appreciate, master and explore all the different parts of a game like this.

Now this is true.

I don't have much time to play nowadays and it would be frustrating if while I was still learning the ins and outs of the most recent game they'd release a new one.

And it is good that they take their time to develop a new game. TBS games for the PC are mostly a niche today and they can't risk the game being ****, Civ III notwithstanding.

I hope they'll release civ5 one day but right now I'm still enjoying civ4 to the max so there's no real reason for a civ5 for me yet.

Don't know if there are spoiled kids on this thread. But there are some grandfathers who would like civ 5 before the assume the stationary position
