Civilization V
Just two days left to release...
Anyone else here like the Civilization series? I started playing in III and loved it, and then tried out the two earlier ones too. I've been playing IV since it's release, on an almsot daily basis. Anyone else a fan?

Re: Civilization V
It's the only game more addictive than WoW for me. I mean, I play WoW regularly for 1-3 hours at a time. I can't count the number of times I've played Civ and suddenly realised it's 5AM and I've been conquering the Babylonians for 11 hours or something.

Re: Civilization V
I have played since the early days. I play IV off and on these days and for nostalgia's sake, I played two and three recently just for fun. Before I got married, it was a game of choice. After I got married, it became a guilty pleasure much harder to get into than wow. At least in wow, I can do something like a daily and log off. You start a game of Civ IV, especially on slow game speed, and its a significant time investment.
As I played the old civ games and then of course IV, I noticed some trends away from some of the simplistic playstyles of the older games that made them so wonderful. I still play Master of Orion and Master of Magic from time to time still and I have to use an old DOS emulator to do it, but they are still as awesome as back in the day... and still as addictive

On that note, does anyone here play Dwarf Fortress?

I don't really feel like this is so much the "Post-Modern" era as much as its the "Pre-Zombie-Apocalpse" era. I consider myself more of a forward thinking guy and an era that just won't die is just as feasible as a coming era, where the dead come back.
