Glacier will be pleased to read this...

From the reviews I've read I've seen a lot of complaining about religion not being in this game. Since it did practically nothing in 4 I don't see what the big deal is.

5 will get you 10 it will be downloaded content.

I sucked at Civ IV, but didn't religion increase revenue and help decide alliances and enemies?

I think religion gave you reputation points and when corporations replaced religion you would get added revenue from cites that also had that corporation.

Yeah, that looks like the "Beyond the Sword" add-on that I played for all of 5 minutes.

You'd really like the "Europa Universalis" series.

I've been lazy to try the 3rd in the series, but EU I and II were aweshome...

Beyond the Sword is the only version I play. I don't get why people would play a version of the game with less stuff it in.

I heard the corporations were overpowered.

That, and I was too lazy to learn the new features...

I'm downloading the demo for Europa Universalis 3 off of steam right now.

RAWK on!

There's a steep learning curve, but once you figure it out, it's fun as hell.

In the first, play as Spain. You can take a few provinces from France or Africa. From there, colonize North and South America.

Religion, alliances, combat attrition, exploration: all that matters and can get tricky at first.

Read "AARs" over at their official forums, stay at it, and you'll be good.

The civ5 demo is taking way too long to download.

Despite what the requirements say, this game will not run on integrated graphics.

In English, please!

Heh, what game does these days?

I honestly don't know what that means.

if you know what he means.....

AND I THINKS YOU DO!

Really though, I can't even get Steam to run on my computer...

I've read some threads over at gamefaqs about how people are having issues with how the game runs, despite having good comps...

I still can't get Steam to update, so I still can't download the demo.

Back to Civ IV: Beyond the Sword I goes!

I tried the demo. You're not missing anything.

Thanks, man.

I thought I was missing out.

Like snarf at a...

Well, anything.

It's like the arcade version of Civ Rev on a console, but dumbed-down...

Wow, man.

Civ: Rev was fun, but it could have been a lot better. It was a quick fix (I could finish an entire game in about 4 hours...?) but it wasn't the end-all.

Civ IV pissed me off, because I wasn't that good at it. I heard the Beyond the Sword edition is easier, but I didn't FUCK with it all that much.

Did you ever try Beyond the Sword? It gets me that to play Civ IV, you have to be a Rhodes Scholar...

No, I haven't messed with Civ 4 I don't think. Maybe I have? Was it the one where you could send one of your guys to the indian camps and they would train him to be something like a trapper or a blacksmith? If so, then yeah, I had to figure that one out all by myself with no instruction manual...

I don't remember that part. I don't think so.

I might have missed that, during a reading of one the 40+ page PDF strategy guides that I downloaded.

Got a cheap video card and now the demo runs smoothly on my computer. I'd but the full game but Warcraft will be in control of my life for the next few months. I might as well wait for all the expansions to come out, like most of the reviews are suggesting.
