Finally beat 20 25 secs! (w00t) And I finally found a way to get my post count up. :D

And it keeps getting better! :cool:

Woohoo! Sem_t

No, I'm talking about the awful writing, the shallow characterization, the craptastic, predictable story and the complete waste of a perfectly good theme for a book.

It's a toss up between RPG and smart FPS, with TBS coming behind a close second. It's funny, because there are several RPGs and FPSs that I love to pieces but among TBS games the only one that I find really addictive is Civ (Alpha Centauri included). That's not to say I haven't enjoyed games like MOO, Stars!, Disciples or Jagged Alliance, but none of these took control of my life like Civ, System Shock 2 or Fallout 2. There was once a time when I really enjoyed adventure games, but nowadays they just isn't true anymore. I loved Monkey Island for example, but now I think that if the game wasn't so funny I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. It seems to me that the gameplay in those Lucasarts(or Sierra) adventures was really awful.

Because it's impossible to ruin what's already ruined?

Job system for the win?

DOOM, scary? Have you played System Shock?

Oh, god no!

Now, that's an understatement.

It is worse than crack. Also, girlfriends and civ don't make a good combination. Unless, I suppose, she plays Civ too but, of course, I've never met one of those.

But Civ 4 is a game you really, really want. Even if you don't know it yet. Hear it calling: "Buy me, buy me. Succumb to the power of gaming goodness."

They are both awesome, yet different.

If I had to choose between Anachronox and Deus Ex, I'd choose Anachronox every time...

So what are you waiting for? Go buy the freaking game now! And then you can get hopelessly addicted to it like the rest of us.

Ooo. that looks like a good game. Is it fun? The combat isn't very good but the story and writing are so awesome it's almost unbelievable.

Isn't 300,000 like a really small number? If someone were to ask me, I'd say there were millions of porn sites on the net.

Awesome!

Yes, of course. The worker I sent from St. Petersburg will connect it to both Moscow and Novgorod due to the river.

1275BC: Like Steve suggested, I used the worker to speed the cottage on the flood plain. 1250BC: Nothing big happened. Kept exploring with the warriors. 1225BC: Completed Priesthood. Chose archery to start buiding those archers as soon as possible. Changed the tiles being worked in Moscow to speed up the settler: 1200BC: Sent both workers to St. Petersburg to get copper connected. 1175BC: Warrior is done. Sent him to the future city site east of St Petersburg. Nothing intesting to build in St Petersburg before archery and copper, so I maxed its food production. 1150BC: Caesar adopted slavery. Started a mine to connect the copper to St Petersburg. 1125BC: Completed archery. There was much rejoicing. St. Petersburg started an archer. Finally our cities will be safe from barbarians. Our soothsayers are researching writing. 1100BC: We have a new settler. It has been sent south to build previously mentioned city. Because cows will one day help us rule the world. The easternmost warrior has found a barbarian warrior. Let's see if he attacks us. 1075BC: Our warrior defeated the barb. Healing is required, as its strenght is down to 0.9. In other news, St. Petersburg will soon be connected to copper. 1050BC: My final turn. Hooray for us for Novgorod is our new city! Also, we now have copper and I've decided to build our trade network. One worker has started making a road to connect St. Petersburg to the rest of our sprawling empire. The other worker can't move yet. Before I forget, note that we are now losing 4 gold per turn, something will have to be done about that soon. Here's our world map so far: My advice is that you go for alphabet and masonry next. Also, start building up the military. This is fun! MCA01.zip

If they go the way of Morrowind, Oblivion will run like death on the recommended system.

I'm thinking of giving this a try after archmonarch posts his turn. This is a great way to improve our Civ skills.
