    Sounds like a good deal.

    I didn't care much for SMAC but liked the soap opera type of stuff it had with the leaders

      Yes, IMHO. a good combination of the civs and SMAC, with some new stuff thrown in. And fewer exploits to pull. And far less annoying, ie closed borders to the AI.
      Not neccesarily fewer exploits, just the old ones don't work.

      I'm sure some exploits will be found.

      ACK!
      Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

          I find that hard to believe given where you live- have you checked your local street vendor?

              I think that ICS shouldn't be countered the way it was. All those "build settler? no growth" **** rules suck.

                Civ IV rules, it's defently worth the money


                I sure hope the local stores finally gets the game tomorrow so I can actually buy the game

                  CivIV

                  I HATED CivIII, but CivIV has me drawn in. It feels like the first few days of CivII all over again! This game feels like CivII in terms of possible addiction (MUST. STOP. PLAYING!), and feels like a better game than SMAC (IMO, the best Civ type game before this one).

                    I'm seriously considering buying a new computer to be better able to play CivIV. This game will mess up my life.
                    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

                      ICS is still the way of Civ. The game even tells you that in several places (especially on trainer level).

                      But... Civ4 is what people wanted Civ3 to be. Well, mostly.

                      Once they get all the major CTD bugs cleared out, optimize the resource and memory usage to stop it being disk cancer, it's going to be a good Civ entry. Until then, if you aren't a die hard Civ junkie that would be willing to shoot it straight into your eye, I'd suggest waiting on the first or second patch.

                        This is the big question for me. Can't wait to try. In the last few years I've barely played computer games, but if Civ4 is of Civ2 calibre....

                          Single Player? Hell yeah. Combat may be much more slow-paced, but the AI doesn't blatantly cheat and screw you over anymore. Borders now actually mean something to it.

                            Why, yes. Yes it is!


                            (But you may want to wait on the first couple of patches are out if you haven't grabbed a copy of Civ4 already.)

                                I just hope the Mac version incorporates all the bug fixes and patches that they will have implemented in the PC version
