no, civ 3 was worse than its predecessors and it sucked how they took away refrigeration and the workers never changed to engineer uniform, so always had workers walking about with a rag around their waist, this game is a dead horse.

I am. I have been looking forward to Civ IV for about a year now, ever
since I got Civ III Conquests. Looks pretty good, I just hope that the
game can run on 256 MB RAM. With a three-dimensional look, more unique
units, realistic battle system, Civilization IV looks to be a pretty
good strategy game. Civ III wasn't that bad, but it could have had a lot of improvements.

Civ 3 was made better with the conquests expansion, but frankly that should have shiped with the original.
There was a promo clip floating around, a brief glimpse of Cov4 and then some stuff about civ-addicts.
I'll try and find it.

www.civfanatics.com has a very good article on Civilization IV and has all the videos under its Civ IV section.

Yes, I am! I liked II better than III, but I'm willing to give IV a shot. I just
hope it's released for the Mac; has anyone heard if it will be?
The screenshots are gorgeous, which you can see www.firaxis.com/games/game_detail.php?gameid=6">here if you
haven't already.
What culture do you enjoy playing the most and why?

I like playing as the Turks because they get the Siphai, an awesome Industrial Age cavalry unit.

I think they are basically the same: better graphics, better AI, some other changes... the normal evolution of games.

Yes, but some major changes in graphics from Civ 2 to Civ 3.

I found that they really varied a lot the difficulty level from Civ2 to Civ3. I used to be able to win on a regular basis on Civ2 deity, but on Civ3, deity was really too difficult. Otherwise, I think that corruption and civ traits were the biggest changes.
Civ4 looks pretty good, but after so many years of playing different versions, I'm getting kinda sick of it.

I have only played all of the Civ 3 versions, I get sick of it
sometimes and then a month later I play again. It is fun to mod the
game though.

Looking at screenshots, Civ3 would seem better than Civ2. It wasn't, so allow me to remain sceptical.

I never got to play Civ2, but I do not think it could be better than
Conquests. The modding abilities are amazing. Graphics do not always
show if a game is better than another, that is the gameplay. Graphics
are just an add-on.

Yeah, I saw that pic to. You can get an easter egg in Civ III that if
you name a "New Constantinople" Not Constantinople, you get the Turkish
50's song.

i'm not really content with the Religions:
why including Confucianism and Taoism? those are not religions, i would have rather liked to see religions that were important in the past but declined up to now, like especially Zoroastrianism and perhaps Manichaeism or Jainism. Zoroastrianism was one of the first religions and state religion of the Sassanian empire after all.
