I actually wanted to start a thread stating I am now officially hooked too, for the first time since Civ1! The last days
if I played in the evening, I just went on till about 3 to 5 AM. (The record is 5:45 or so...) And the weird thing is: I still have a very boring game to finish, which made me stop playing Civ4 for about two months. Then I thought let me just start a a new game: huge map, 18 civs. Now
that's a kick!
I did have to buy extra memory (I had just half a GB, now 1.5GB.) in order to let it work decently.
I said "if", because I have no problem leaving Civ4 alone when I am home. Plently of other things to do. But once I'm on the roll...
