No. Get Alpha Centauri instead, if you don't already have it.

Yea, it's a pretty engrossing game. It's not quite up to Civ2 but it's a definite improvement on Civ3. There are some good Units, Maps, Mods etc coming out now or soon so it's a good time to buy.

SMAC pwns. btw, try out gal civ 2. it has a flavour of SMAC in it.

Good game, almost as good as SMAC, cant touch Civ 2 tho.

Its a good game if it runs on your machine. I can't get through a game before it crashes on me. There seems to be a bunch of people with similar problems. http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=159

yeah it is good game...the graphic is great and a lot of improvement over old civ series. I am glad I bought it 🙂

The game is good, but horribly bugged. Shame on the publisher for releasing it before it was properly tested for errors.

The demo totally sold me, but it's fallen into the "just another RTS" for me. Having said that, it's very addicting and unforgiving(I suck).

Yes.

Yea, the developers weren't happy with it's condition upon rleease but the developer pushed it out anyway. It does have a little bit of a memory leak that crashes on some machines in the later stages of the game (on Huge/Large Maps) that still remains unresolved. You can get round it by not using those maps or lowering resolution/quality altho I deem that not very good.

Game of 2005? I sure would hope it's good. The multiplayer on it's own is amazing.

Kind of odd that it would fall into the "just another RTS" category considering its not a RTS game.

The multiplayer is f*cking awesome. They definately did it right in this game. Definately get it if you like strategy games.

I think this game is a perfection of the Civ series.

Is there some kind of official ladder system for online civ4 mp?
