Just got Civ 4 today, and it keeps amazing me. Right now, in Tiki City, Moses's born. Does that mean I'll have a giant outflux of Fast Workers? What's he do if not that?

Anyways, just wanted to say this game rocks my socks.

Pretty sure there's a thread about it, but it does indeed rock. If you founded a religion, Moses can build the Holy Shrine for it for culture, religion spreading and income purposes, or he can join the city as a specialist (probably not the best idea at the beginning), help discover a tech for you (a religious one, in his case). If you save him until you get another type of great person, they can kick off a golden age for you.

Jesus people put these threads in the right places, Kon-Tiki who's been here forever especially.

This belongs in Favorite Oldies and Newbies, several threads of newly released games and stuff is there already, so just go put it in there.

Civ 4 is good by the way.

It's special.. Civ1 and 2 are the same.. Civ3 implented some new ellements.. Some liked it.. some didn't..
Civ4 evolved into a compleatly new game, but keept the roots and IMHO it turned out realy good. You feel that they didn't rush it and had plenty of time.

Anyone up for a succession game? I believe I posted about it in the MP section back in the day but nobody else had the game yet.

Not really ready for a succession game yet. Still playing my first game in it So far, it seems to build further onto Civ 3, but after seeing where they went wrong in Civ 3 (that being focussing mainly on war mongery and having alot of odd bugs), and seeing what made Civ 1/2 so great. Civ 2's just an updated version of Civ 1, with better graphics, so that counts as the same, with Civ 2 being the better one.

What I'm missing, is the throne room/palace building, and making caravans that can help speed up wonders. Also, the wonder movies still can't top to those from Civ 2, although I suppose those were a bit too big of an expense, so can't expect anything as cool as those back.

What I love in this over Civ 4, is the way you can make your own government, how you can see what's strengthened/weakened your international relations and the cultur part of cities (which's heavily improved over Civ 3, and's how I recently weakened Brittania, by splitting them up and absorbing their border cities), and how you can level up and specialize your units.

I've noticed a few minor things... researching some technologies're said to lead to this or that building/technology... which I already got when I'm able to research the technology. Bit of a bug?

Anyways, this game kicks serious behind, but still leaves room for improvement. Still definitely's worth its money, even if it's just for the title/main menu song Got that one playing for two days now. One thing... the damn thing got me absorbed til 4am last night, and had to get up at 7 :whistle:
