Yea, we didn't know that side of the story. You could always ignore the license agreement and put Civ on your EU2 computer, just for playing email games, or will Civ not run on it?

[Grandpa Troll]

even when we say we want the turn posted we only be joking

We be picking on ya..so just watch how ya do that quick draw..otay ?

turn on

Nope, the basement computer, which is "my" computer, is an old P3 750MHz dinosaur with a chip to emulate a real graphics controller. Fortunately, Paradox Games doesn't put out games that require intensive 3D graphics (yet) so I get to play on Wed. nights without bothering the younger person, who has the souped up computer with all the fancy schmancy stuff.

Mine plays Civ III (though it takes a while to run the late game turns), Civ II, SMAC, AoE I and II, Homeworld (barely), Baldur's Gate, The Sims, etc. But it simply cannot handle the generation of games that includes Battlefield 1942, Battlefield II, Everquest 2, The Sims 2, AoE III and, unfortunately, Civ IV.

So, I sneak in every morning while the child-unit is about to leave for school and steal time to play a turn in each PBEM game I'm playing. If I can, I do the same in the afternoon after school. On weekends, I bribe him to let me use it. The rest of the time he growls if I even step foot in his room.

Of course, he IS 13, so maybe he'd do that anyway...

Surely you paid for good computer and should be able to use it anytime you want!
