Well, it seems that amongst all of the subscribers, not many are using this thread to introduce themselves. Since i think is a show of good manners to say at least "Hello" before starting to post on the forum, here I am. :-)

Hello everyone, I am Davide, a 33 years old Italian, married, expat in the boring Switzerland, but thankfully moving soon in Dallas (Texas). I am a fantasy novelist still searching for fame (and cash :-D).
I play Civilization games from the earlier Civ for Amiga 500, I loved Civ II and even more Civ III (despite its defects). Since I knew Call to Power 2, I never played again the Sid Meyer's games and since I knew the Apolyton mods, I started again to play it. I am not really a modder, but since the very beginning, I modified the game files to better match my tastes. Actually I use the Apolyton edition of the game, changing only few units' stats e game constants.

I'm Oerdin. I'm 33 and an old fart.

Well I'm 50, so by your reckoning I'm a decrepit even older fart and not long for the grave....

Hello everybody I'm Ray, I skipped Civ 1 but have been playing ever since, every incarnation, including 3 which had some good aspects, mostly playing BTS at the moment with time off occasionally for Sacred 2.

I did 22 years Military service and am currently working as an AH 64 Apache Engineer.

Looking forward to what 5 has to offer!

I'm currently in Washington DC, as I was elected as the 44th President of the United States as of November 4th, 2008.

My first experience with Civilization was in 1996 when someone told me about this excellent new game where you could conquer the world from the comfort of your home. I credit Sid Meier with instructing me on the importance of diplomacy and how to manipulate foreign dignitaries into ignoring past transgressions.

The only thing better then playing Civ is to do the same with the real world. Thank you people of the United States.

Hi All,

-CobraMK3- here. I'm 42, married with 2 daughters (22 & 19). Live in Scotland and work for an Oil Company as a process operator. Avid gamer for most of my life, currently playing COD MW2 on Xbox and now Civ4 on PC. New to Civ and first few games have been great, but I lack the knowledge needed to get any depth. So currently reading up on all available info, including the manual/civilopedia.

[oldtimer3]

Been playing the Civ series for years, mostly on PS2. Finally got a PC and got hooked over again. Bought #4, really didn't like it for some reason. Went back to #3 and found this site looking for scenarios.
BTW, I'm 54, full time caregiver for a bedridden spouse due to MS and the father of two kids. One a software engineering major and the other a 3rd grader. Live in the piney woods of east Texas.

Hey, I started playing Civ I when I was very young (and even then it was a being resold by crucial entertainment) and have also played Civ III+Conquests, Civ IV+Warlords+BTS and Civ Rev on the DS, skipped Civ II because it was already out when I bought Civ I and when I finally went to upgrade, Civ III was already out. Prompted to register by news of Civ V!

Lately I've been playing BTS, with the Fall From Heaven mod, and GalCiv II.
