Is Civ 4 colonization good ?

It's reasonably fun but it always follows the same pattern.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Sounds like any civ game.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

I wish Civ was darker... like... I want to be able to set up rape camps for my soldiers when I invade another country.

Play as Russia, then you can just assume your soldiers are doing this

[regexcellent]

Russia should get a special ability, when you capture a city it gets a pop boost from the rape babies

It's a lot of work ahead to get on-topic resuscitated and ready ... all the help is greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any contacts left at Firaxis? Robert did a great job with the lead up to Civ V in getting some interviews and such ...

I can't speak to any contacts we may have with Firaxis, but I do know that on the community page of Firaxis' website, we're still listed.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE how difficult it is to get anyone working promotions for Firaxis/2K to answer a $#@! email.

I'm just looking for a little equal treatment for a healthy/growing fan community - they've got a dying forum with no more activity on that Community tab on the Firaxis website, but not AC2, passing them on the way up. Who do I have to $#@!?

I'm asking.

Hey, Apolyton is legendary. We even (used to) have a Wikipedia entry.

No Civ forum till I was made was made

I have hopes that 'poly may no longer be dying. We're only competitive if OTs don't count. Heck, we're even ahead at on-topic ATM, but I was talking about another place...

[Lorizael]

Yeah. My guess is they got in through Solver, who did a lot of beta testing for Civ4.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Oh that was a real forum until two years ago. Now, it's just a matter of time, and I'm making popcorn.

DanQ I guess. Poly is dead as a civ site, so most of us who care and have Firaxis contacts are (more) active on WPC and CFC...

[Nikolai]

Yah, but the last visit from someone at Firaxis seems to have been in 2010 ... if it's any consolation, it doesn't seem they're active even at CivFanatics.

Firaxis staff is active on CFC around release of stuff.

'Poly's official page needs only four more likes 'til Aeson wins a free breeding dragon or something.

Do it for your online home. Do it for Aeson. This is not a Aeoke - except for the part that is. Really do the FB like thing.

[Aeson]

Well Apolyton does still get quite a lot of Civ related traffic from search engines ... about 4k a day. So it's not really dead, just sleeping. There's just not much to keep them around or posting right now. We'll be changing that before BE is released

[Aeson]

Might be time to pull out the Facebook DLs and start liking things ...

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

My FB account is a sock full of misinformation to begin with.
