Fast-track CIV expertise

[Theseus]

I ended up not really participating in the beta, and I am *STILL* waiting for my pre-order through 'poly, so I have started the massive task of reading every recent thread here, at CFC, and at RBC.

Is it just me, or have GSers already started making a mark? Obviously, part of that is due to the beta program, but it seems that a number of us have really jumped into CIV wholeheartedly?

In no particular order, I keep seeing posts from DeepO, alva, sleepy, Dominae, Krill, Aeson, Arrian... Nathan and some other lost sheep are lurking too. SHEESH!!!

As Paddy would say: "It's all good."

I'm playing it too, although I don't post much about it. Civ3 goes into the trashbin soon as my last PBEM is over. Give me cIV all the way.

Oh, yeah, the grouch has been posting too.

[Damn, I can't wait to start playing... I'm actually going to buy the strat guide to feed the monkey]

I'm loving it... have been since my first game. It's sad there were some technical issues left, but I'm pleased to see that the gameplay is every little thing I hoped for. And more.

My posting thus far has been similar to my early CivIII posting - random thoughts as I learn a game w/o really having any idea what I'm doing

I'm gettin' there, though.
