While it does make the progress slower, it does make for a longer game. That works for me. On normal noble, I was still cranking out techs a 2 or 3 turns apiece. Epic has a better feel for me.

Have you tried the Epic setting on a higher difficulty? The first game I played was Noral on Chieftan, I think. That was pretty quick. But with Epic combined with AI actually meddling in my affairs due to higher difficulty, THAT game took awhile. Although, I'll likely never play one of those...

One thing i do not like about the game is the map size. Even huge is small, no where near the size of Civ 3 and previous. I set up for continents, and there were only two continents. One was just a big island. WTF?!?!?! I want CONTINENTS!!!!! Not one huge chunk of rock and a couple of islands.

Played two full games this weekend, both as the Americans/Roosevelt. Won space race both times on different difficulties. I enjoy the gameplay a great deal, the game in and of itself is great fun. What drives me crazy is that it's buggy. There is no way a game with those min/recommended stats...

Normal is just way too quick a game for me i've found out, gonna start epic tonight. And up the difficulty, I actually got bored with my first game on easy, since I was able to found every major religion and get every wonder uncontested. So I quit halfway through, and im gonna restart tonight.

Well, I can only get 1 out of every 3 games loaded. If it works, I can bypass nemoy's intro, if not, I have to suffer through it, and the game just DRAGS. Totally weird. Does anyone know if we can bypass the intro by default, so we don't alway have to click or hit esc every time? It's really...

Hmm, that is classified as a world wonder, not a national wonder, so im not sure. I can't possibly see them as limiting you to the number of wonders, at least not to 2. But who knows. Maybe its the number of wonders stilla available to build?

Which wonder did you complete, was it the first? It could have been a national wonder.

I just finished reading the section on wonders (I brought the manual to work to read :) ) It says that you may only build 2 national wonders (like wall street) during the game, but does not mention anything about a limit on the Great Wonders (pyramids, statue of liberty) that we all love.

Oh no, not the goody huts!!! Man, those are great. I hope that can be tweaked. I hadn't heard that about wonders, that would totally suck.

Nice review, talinthas. You mentioned in the review that there were a few balance issues, could you elaborate?

That was my initial thought with Civ 3. But after learning the game, it is still one of my all time favs. I have faith I will love this one too. I managed to get it installed ok, no problems there. I did play about 10 minutes of the tutorial, so far no run problems. Though I do have a...

Yep, still looking! Send me an email: mrtauntaun@mrtauntaun.com and ask anything you'd like to know and i'll fill you in.

Just picked it up! Made the guy at game stop go unpack it from the back room :) Can't play it for awhile, but im listening to the soundtrack now. I read a little of the manual, apparently corruption is still around :( But there are techs to eliminate it completly.

Im going to delay. Im really only interested in the new Madden for it and Fight Night Round 3, which doesn't release until next year, so i'll wait for they hype and price to go down, as availablility goes up.

From what I can tell, best buy is estimating shipping for the 27th, if ordered as of yesterday. The official release, as far as I know, was yesterday. EBgames has it on their website as the 25th. I'll post when I get back from lunch, there is an EBgames, gamestop and Best Buy all within...

NOT a big release?!?!?!!? This is because consoles are so big with the short attention span generation. Civ is only one of the biggest and most influential PC games of all time. Sheesh. Im gonna go pick up during lunch, but I too won't be able to play it until thursday, but I can read the...

Bump

So many changes. So much for my insto-polluting cleanup crew, no longer able to travel via rail across the continent in 1 turn :P I like the space race, I'll still have to give it a go my first play through, harder or not. I DO like how they made those strategic resources more abundant. I...

Seriously! I hate the summer pc gaming drought, because every year when fall rolls around, wham! Multiple great PC titles come out. Like last year when evil genius and rome: TW came out at almost the same time.
