It is easy. After you start a civ 3 game, you get your significant other to fantacize with you about you being a Barbarian and she a settler in hilly top sourrounded by forests. Next time you are an immortal and she is a spy.. Few rounds like that over two weeks and she will get interested in the game. If not, she will get interested in fantacising. In both cases, you are a winner!Originally posted by Haupt. Dietrich
Let me first start off by saying this regarding this topic. I think women who play TBS games are the sexiest! 
Now anyone out there have any advice for getting ones significant other interested in playing civ?Comment

Folks, sometimes I have to fight my wife to get CivIII time. She likes the game as much as me.
As for her play, she tries to stay at peace but if someone wants to go to war she is happy to oblige.Comment

I actualy like things to look nice too, but i do make alot of mines, but i try to put them in their own little corner of that citys zone.Originally posted by Bella Hella
i guess the only typically "female" thing i do in my games is pay a little more attention to how things look instead of mining the crap out of everything or placing farms on random tiles. i like things to look organized and make sense when i place cities and do terrain improvements. other than that, i just play the friggin' game.
hehe, anybody tryed changing the music files around? I've got the starwars imperial march playing now! hahaHelp negate the vegiterian movement!

Bella Hella!
I've read a lot of threads on various boards regarding this subject. Your advice by far is the best I've ever heard in my life!
I'm definately gonna try some of these tactics. However I fear that your first statement suits my wife the best. The one where you said some people just aren't interested in computer games period. A tough challenge but worth the effort.
BTW, I'm am the type of guy who is very patient, but I'll take your advice of hands off the mouse to heart!
Thanks to all for your input.
As panag would say, "Have a nice day"!signature not visible until patch comes out.Comment

I tried to get my GF addicted to civ, but failed miserably.
OTOH I did get her addicted to computers, so its not a total loss.
I could never share my comp with my GF tho, cuz if I'm not with her, then I'll be on the comp. The only solution was to build her her own computer. Its a tough life.
I estimate that there are about 15, maybe even 20 female civers on this site. I might just try again to get her addicted to civ - it been done before obviously
I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

So, I say to my GF: "earest, I _know_ you want to play Civ3" and she says to me "Yes, but if it is as engrossing as you say, I'll never see my Homework again, or my work work, for that matter". And I say "so?" And she says "or read books." And I say "right, that reminds me, are you still reading that Callahan's, or can I borrow it?" And then she grimmaces and brings me flowers for accidently destroying a book I lent her...
*sigh* I am a _lucky_ man...
Oh, and my 19yr old sister (who _loves_ sci-fi) plays a mean game of Civ2, so you guys can drool all you want...Do the Job

its to early ,........
surprise , it seems that there are some woman here who are shy , ....yet they can play the comp at deity , why will they just not talk about it , that remains a Q .
most just read the forums , they do not interact , ....maybe that's because they focus on the main thing , playing the game , in the place of talking about it , ....

Yeah, this is sooo like us men. Instead of focusing on the main thing, we just talk about the main things we did so far.

My girlfriend loves to play Civ 3 and she used to play Civ 2 before that. Though she never looks at the Civ web sitesI have walked since the dawn of time and were ever I walk, death is sure to follow. As surely as night follows day.Comment
