Re: OT: Civilization 4
I liked the idea of culture, but I wanted it to be more like borders where the other empires couldn't cross without declaring war. They always plopped down their city 2 squares from mine. I also thought corruption rose to fast after a certain distance. Also, after modding in SEIV, Civ III seemed constrained a bit. I did enjoy the game, but I only played it for a month or so then got bored.

I am still eating, sleeping and going to work, so it can't be that great

Re: OT: Civilization 4
I just found out that combat has been reduced to a single defence stat.
Blarg.
Well, hopefully someone will mod that.

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.

Err OK..... what's up with that?

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

Re: OT: Civilization 4
Nimoy voices everything - "In the beginning..." and all the Tech upgrades.

Re: OT: Civilization 4

Re: OT: Civilization 4
Civ 4 = A lot more of the same... Swordsmen taking out tanks and bombers that cannot bomb.

This is a highly misleading statement.
I have been a big Civ fan since Civ 1 and am awaiting delivery of Civ 4 right now.
Each Unit does have only one combat strength, but almost every unit has special abilities that modify combat. Plus victorious units earn "promotions" that can be things like a free shot in combat, +50% vrs Mounted Units, etc...
So while each archer has the same base strength, two different archers can have vastly different combat capabilites.
Since I haven't played yet, I can't judge yet, but I expect the new combat system to be a double edged sword.
