In fairness I've noticed that people who have never played Civ before tend to enjoy V... but yeah, definitely look into IV if you can! :3 I've played both and find IV to be more enjoyable, and most Civvers consider IV to be the best of the series. :monster:Quote:

Srsly? The others must be great because I am hooked.Quote:

What Went Wrong?
Alright guys, I;m going to try to get an EoFF game going this weekend online.
Who's interested? For the sake of ease, let me know what Civ you're playing.
1. Laddy - Mali
I've never played multiplayer Civ IV before. Largely because I suck. That said, I am down for this if I'm available when the game is this weekend. I generally play as the Japanese.
1. Laddy - Mali
2. Vivi22 - Japan
And if needed, post your leader.
For the record, the only way Huxley and I can get multiplayer to work properly is through an external network program (such as Hamachi), and even so there are frequent "Out of Sync" errors which can only be solved by having one person exit and re-enter the game. This usually happens during the middle of the game, when these errors have occasionally become so frequent that we'll be leaving/rejoining the game every five turns or so.
Not trying to rain on any parades or anything, of course! Just pointing out to anyone who hasn't played multiplayer Civ IV before that there are sometimes issues that you've just gotta slog through. If you're willing to do that, you're golden.
I'm not sure if I consider Civ III or Civ IV the superior game. Both are amazing and I think I've put more time into IV but something about CivIII burrowed itself deep into my heart.
also, America and Persia are my favorite Civs, but it is also lots of fun to play as China solely to roll around in the irony of building the Statue of Liberty in the People's Republic.
Yes, if you want to multiplayer Civ you will get intimately acquainted with OoS errors. The main reason me and Pike don't play it and nothing else is because they get some tiresome and tedious that we give up.

I enjoy building the ultimate symbol of freedom with the bones of my populace.
I just nuked every single tile in the Spanish empire. Every. Last. One.
It was amazing.Quote:
