Sid Meier's Civilization Series (Main Titles)

Hopefully, we won't have another Internet Tough Guy threaten to sue Firaxis because the game won't run on his under-spec system.

Total War + Civilization = Age Of Empires

Nah, not enough civilization building.

^^^ How did that thread last 14 pages before getting locked?

I'm guessing that maps are going to be comprised of far more tiles now that combat will be spread over a far greater area. Otherwise I think we might see cases where entire armies are spread over hemispheres and the map becomes one large battlefield instead of having wars contained to a few strategic tiles. At any rate this sounds pretty great, not to mention that I AM VERY HAPPY FOR THE ABOLITION OF TRANSPORTS.

EXXXXXXXXXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME DIPLOMACY!

^ I lol'd at "George Washington's Uncle Slam Attack."

Anyway, the thread I linked to gets really good on the second page when the thread creator gives us this gem:

Anyway, once again, the point of this sort of lawsuit is not for us to get rich. It's to make sure that companies aren't making money off of the inability of the individual consumer to fight for his rights. Those of you who think it's silly might also have laughed at the Civil rights movement. You probably think Rosa Parks could have found a better way to get a front seat on a bus, or should have just learned to live with her low position in society.

Oh, and on the ninth page?

By the way, after several hours of work, I finally got Civ4 working on one of my machines. I must've experienced half the bugs named on the tech support forum. I'm afraid I'll be too busy playing to attend to my class action lawsuit - someone else will have to take over. I still think someone should hang for letting this game get shipped. I have no doubt there are a plethora of bugs awaiting me, but at least the game runs... only took me 3 hours.

you know how spoiled children will whine about how their parents not buying them halo 4 or something is worse then the holocaust and rape combined and then taken anally? well this is like that but worse because it's an adult.

mama firaxis is worse then hitlersatanmattstoneandtreyparker because civilization 5 won't run on my tandy!

Shush. No Civ V talk til it comes out. Makes me sad I can't play now.

Can't wait to get my new computer in about a month. Then I can finally play Civ IV with full map size on the slowest imaginable speed. That's to say, Marathon with the "Real Epic" mod. It takes 200 turns to get your first tech.

That's how real men (and women) play Civilization.

Good lord, how long is a turn?

One turn is one year. Because my civilisation is pretty damn developed, I usually reach modern day around 3000 BC.

i played that mod once, it was as fun as waiting at the dmv.

I just found the trailer. By the end of the video, I was grinning.

Wait. Is that Keith David's voice reading the first quote?

^ Obviously. Shepard, you need to build a city wall.

If there's one person out there fit to replace Leonard Nimoy, it's Keith David. He was born to read quotes at aspiring world-conquerors.

Also, who the hell is Shepard?

Mass Effect

Mass Effect is a pretty cool dude. She has sex with blue aleins and doesn't afraid of anything.

That's because Keith David is the VA for Captain Anderson, the main character's CO for the first part of the game and ... aw crud

I thought Keith David was Julius Little... or was it The Arbiter? I'm confuzzled.

Who are the other voices? They sound awesome.

Dammit, where's my Alpha Centauri remake/sequal?

Get that copyright or trademark or whatever back from EA!

The lady with the last quote sounds like the female quote voice from Alpha Centauri?
