First of all,
I want to give, or rather hand over to the powers that be who are responsible for making the extravagant Civilization IV Game, my HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS for a job well done! I was extraordinarily impressed to see that they took my suggestions to implement religion into the game sequencing and decision making processes for the typical player.
THE ROLE OF IDEOLOGIES cannot be overemphasized in ensuring a PROFOUND full game experience. This is something I had repeated again and again in postings of previous years, indeed many years past. How time has surely flown.
It is my estimation that only VETERANS of this forum will be able to discern who I, namely the "Philosophizer" am. But yes, you can be sure that I have returned, in a new and yet adroit form, just in time for the release of Civilization IV. Why have I decided to return now? To emphasize my joy and recollection at the fact that Sid Meier has taken my advice to heart, and he can be sure I will be sending him a personal email of congratulations on a job well done. He absolutely must be one of the hardest working, industrious, and diligent computer game programmers that has ever entered this very competitive market (which nevertheless can be full of rewards for those ingenious enough to fill the proper niches).
Christianity- the URGE and the DRIVE for colonization- was responsible due to the clarion call of Christ to the nations to convert or perish. The New World and the conquest of its lands- according to the testimony of Christo Pher Columbus (or FERENS- CHRIST BEARER) was done mostly for the sake of spreading the papal mandate of Christian subjugation of all foreign pagan oppressed lands!
Gods Speed to all! And God Bless Sid Meier for a job well done- I ESPECIALLY LIKED ROMANS 9 as the reading for one of the technological improvements- where the Apostle is stated as declaring- HATH NOT THE POTTER THE POWER TO MAKE ONE VESSEL TO HONOR; AND YET ANOTHER TOWARD DISHONOUR? Whether or not a man believes this statement, to call attention to such a highly provocative and powerful theological principal as absolute predestination testifies to the very depth of thought the designers put into the game's elements.
Amen indeed. In addition, the implementation of various ideological and governmental paradigms adds colour to gameplay, and allows wars and diplomacy FINALLY to be conducted on ideological grounds, which is especially important for those people who long to experiment with the AI on this kind of level.
Truly a masterpiece! Sid Meier has DONE IT AGAIN!
