    Yes still addicted, play nearly every day. I was burned out for a while earlier in the year and I didn't play for a few months but I'm back in the swing of things and when I get PTW I'll be playing more than an hour or two a day!

      I just stoped, or it would take too much time
      It's stil a great game and all, but I just think gaming-only lives don't make happy people. Like drugs, they may want their next dose but it's not drugs that's making them happy...

        Playing it the typical way only has its fun for so long, then I start being innovative; i.e., playing on chieftain with accelerated production and amassing a gigantic army that nobody can possibly counter because they're all several techs behind me. Nothing feels better than starting a war with everyone else, knowing that there's nothing any of them can do against your Empire.

          Voted #2, even though it would be more precise to say that I would like to play it at least once a week. Unfortunately, these time constraints... but I am definitely not getting tired of Civ3... perhaps just because I do not play that much last weeks. A couple of hours every two weeks, I think... if I get to play a computer game at all, then it's Civ3.

              Unfortunately I cant vote on polls for some unknown reason, I have asked on the poly community forum but to no avail.

              My choice is no 2 but mainly because I spend to much time here reading the forums.

                I have been playing less than I used to. I used to waste most of the day playing, but now I limit it to an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon and I don't play on the weekends. It depends on how much 'alone time' I have.

                  I stopped playing for about six months there but geared back up for PTW about a month before it came out.

                      Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

                        Well, I really cannot vote since the options I love the game and still enjoy it is not up there. I do not play once a week or once a month I just play whenever I feel like it and I still have great interest for the game. Now with PTW coming out here in Germany I am planning some all nighters.

                        Same thing happened with Civ 2, I played it up to 2001 but not every week.

                        So long...

                          It should have an alarm feature so that you can say "I'm only going to play for one hour" and have some chance of keeping your word.

                          CTP2 used to have a similar feature but it would enforce it by totally crashing the system. The fact that no mention was made in the manual and the interval was random lead many hopeless cynics to suggest that it was a bug.

                          maybe civ3 should come with a small windup alarm clock as a marketing gimick.

                            Voted nr.2, not because I'm not addicted anymore but I don't have enough time so usually I play only once or twice a week.
