OT: Civilization 4
The publisher appears to be selling it; I'm wondering if it's worth buying.

Re: OT: Civilization 4
Hopefully it will not be slated for the rubbish heap like civ 3 was... Not worth risking $50 US.

Thanks. I guess I'll wait till it's lower - Or we hear some player reviews here.

Re: OT: Civilization 4
I got it and am enjoying it. I've been out of town since Friday and haven't had much chance to play, but it seems to be better than CIV 3. I am not sure about the 94% that gamespot gave it, but it is pretty good. It seems to move quickly, though and I will probably start playing on "epic" speed soon.

Re: OT: Civilization 4
I love it...its supposed got a really stable MP component. A buddy of mine and a friend of his set up a MP game...and despite some problem on either end for them...they both got disconnected at somepoint during the game, and were both able to reconnect were the game left off at, and still play...this was over a couple hour span...and currently the game has been saved to be picked up later...

Re: OT: Civilization 4
One question tho:
Why the heck does everyone call Civ3 rubbish? I seem to be the only person here who actually liked the game. Next to Makinus, but I haven't seen him here in a while.

Re: OT: Civilization 4
The best recommendation I can give Civ IV is that on "Warlord" difficulty, it plays like Civ II with a better graphics engine. And Leonard Nimoy, of course.
I have an ATI card and had the "render" error that is now on the Civ IV website. I managed to fix it myself, doing essentially what they said - update drivers and reload direct X.
EDIT To reply to Strategia - I can't put my finger on it, but I didn't like the way culture was implemented in Civ III and I just couldn't seem to do well in the more advanced levels of game play. It was frustrating and I couldn't ever seem to get an edge on the AI. Civ IV isn't like that and I can't be more specific than that.

Re: OT: Civilization 4
Perform a forum search for the game to see many reasons. Repeating them here would only clog this thread, which is not about Civ 3.
The ATI card problem with Civ 4 smacks of a rushed release... I wonder what other critical problems are in the initial release?
