Civilization IV

Civilization has me hooked again, havent played since it sucked me in years ago maybe as far back as the Amiga days. It's much the same as it always was but its one of those games were you just have to have one last turn until hours have passed.

Only £18 at play.com if you're interested. If you liked it before and like me havent played for years then you should definately get it. Never tried online though ...

mmm, I am tempted. Can it be found on the floor? Or.. how recent is it? I wonder if these off the floor copies will work if I dropped the CD I found .. *Cough*..

It is indeed available on many different floors.

By warping the space-time continuum into a local week long loop, thus funneling the future into the present.

God damn, I love Civ. Unfortunately I also have about four other games I don't have time to play at the moment too, but I'll get it eventually.

Does it support PBEM (I think Civ III did)? I always like that idea for Civ.

My floorware version JUST WONT WORK!

I am annoyed now. If anyone else has had more success, give me a yell, before I start stabbing strangers in the ears.

Mine worked fine once I installed and configured antiblaxx, handy tool that

Without anti-blaxx it asks for the disk
With anti-blaxx it just crashes after the boot splash screen.

However, research seems to indicate that this could be the fault of Civ4 rather than the fact that its floorware. Whether it works on your machine or not seems to be a bit of a lottery, legit or otherwise.

Yay! I will certainly be adding this to my shopping list.

It lives! It lives!

Ive finally made it work. Seems rather good, but ive only managed a brief look.

One thing that made me laugh though:

I should have a legit copy of this by now but it looks like the postman has another one of my games/DVDs/CDs to add to his collection. At least I've paid for it so my floorware copy is morally legit.

Anyone up for a game, I would even try PBEM? In fact that would probably be prefered as I like to have a think about my moves.

Post by **Joose** » November 9th, 2005, 16:19

I would be up for some PBEM. How does it work when there are many people?

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 9th, 2005, 16:22

I'd do PBEM too. If I had the game. Which I don't.

Although I will after Christmas I expect
