Civ4

Same thing on my watch

Well actually on some 1940's clocks in my grandmothers house, you have IIII, instead of IV. LOL

Actually on roman inscriptions they very often put IIII instead of IV.

so everyone wants to respond and debate a joke instead of evaluating my suggestion?

I heard this was the last Civilization game Sid Meier's gonna be making. Supposedly, it's gonna be the "ultimate" civilization game. So I doubt there will be a Civ 4. And even if it were, it probably won't be very good. For those who watch Star Trek, Civ 4 will probably be the Voyager of Civilizations.

[Darkknight]

the world is crumbling around me!! No more civ games from Sid are you sure He's not making any more? Maybe He's going to take up golf.

If it's the Voyager of Civilizations, we have hope, there's a new Star Trek show coming out in the Fall, Scott Bakula is the Captain.

Where did you hear that this was the last Sid Meier Civ game? He's not old yet, he's got at least 30 more years of game designing before he throws in the towel, unless he does a Gary Larsen and just gets tired of the grind. God I hope that doesn't happen.

[dainbramaged13]

hes probly tired of making the same old same old turn-based civ-type games. after all hes already made 4!

He's probably really bored of the concept! why would he want to keep churning out the same stuff over and over again? we obviously apreciate it as different and wonderful, but to him its still a lot of the same type of code and stuff...

[SerapisIV]

Really though, where was this story from? I don't believe it. Getting tired of a topic is one thing, but give it time. It might be a 10 year wait, but I'm sure we'll see another Civ game. Whether SId Meier's name is attached is debatable, but don't forget, unfortunately Sid doesn't own the Civ franchise name, he does in my mind, but try and tell lawyers that. Jeez, even CTP had the Civ name, blasphemy if you ask me.

Don't worry, there will be add-ons, and addons, and add-ons posing as new games, and copycats, and so forth.
there will be another Ctp clone, which tries to be civ4, and doesn't make it. maybe it will have an unsupported sequel, too.

Finally, someone will hunt sid down wherever he is in 4 years, and say "will you PLEASE take the helm of civ4? I promise I won't screw you like those other guys did last time. no, really.

Apolyton will own the net by then, all of us who were here when civ3 came out will talk about the great times when Paul wrote the OCC guide, all the fun things we used to do in civ2. some of the old toothless fellows will reminisce about that phalanx killing a bttleship in civ1, back when there was no scenario editor, and generally on how much we love civ3.
but now its time for something new.
We will of course make another LIST, which will run longer than the OJ trial transcripts, or the clinton ones, and we will have sequels regularly.

By the time civ4 comes out in 2007 (3 years after sid agrees), we will all have chewed our fingernails to the wrist in anticipation.

in short, nothing of substance will be different from this time

Actually i dont believe that he is making this game. it might have his name on it, and he plays it to give suggestions, but i dont think he is the one making it.

[MrFun]

I have to go with me_irate on that one.

If I remember correctly, Sid Meier is only playtesting and making important suggestions to the programmers and designers.

[TechWins]

In a way all the suggestions were making right now would have to go on Civ 4 because I don't think too many new things are going to be implemented. I don't care though they're still fun to make and read.

[Ecthy]

Well, even if there's going to be CIV 4, it's not the correct time to open a suggestion forum on it already... there will be one here, but not yet... give it time, DC!

[Jaguar]

There will be new versions of civ for a long time. People will always want something better. I can imagine, years from now, "What? Only 2000 things the AI can say in diplomacy? This is an outrage!!"

[Ecthy]

LOL yeah, the demands have increased and always will... well, that's the c(o)urse of time...
