Any civ fanatics out there? I have been playing the series since civ 1 came out. Currently I still play civ 3 and civ 4. I like aspects of both games, so I don’t really have a favorite. My favorite part about this game is how much fun it is, even when you lose.
For example, I was playing civ 4 a few weeks ago and it went something like this:
I was playing as America and I started on an isolated continent. I decided to divert nothing to my military, and put all my recources into a space victory. I played most the day, and by the 18th century I had begun the long process of building my space colonization ship. I am discovered by japan, who immediately demands tribute. I refuse, and forget all about them. One century later as I am about a decade away from completing my ship who shows up? Japan, but this time they nuke all my citys along the coast, and send in troops to mop up. 10 turns from victory, and I am defeated in two. So I loaded a much earlier save, and proceeded to build enough nukes to destroy the world. I nuked japan into oblivion, but then the other countries all declared war on me. Oh well.
