3-4 games in total, including the tutorial

Almost married

She has overtaken the control of the game now. Good thing too, as it was interfering with my concentration on exam preparations.

And so is this forum too, obviously. Happens every semester

Played a warlord game as arabia, which I won space race
Played a noble game as atzecs, where I dared to attack noone - and won by spacerace, after failed diplo attempt (elected sec. gen, but couldnt get nuff votes for diplo win)
Played a noble game as Mongolia - and won space - first consistent warfare, where I took out Japan with keshiks and a few swords. Steamrolled till they got spears, then halted to wait for sword to arrive, and then steamrolled the last bit.

Focus should be on exploration by ship - which is what I sucked at in civ3.

Ah well. No play till later. And I really should try to <s>spam</s> post less here too...

Edit: since all this playing has occured after reading sessions, it means my social life sucks greatly this month.
Although, sucking may not be a bad thing

For some strange reason Civ 4 just isn't as addictive to me as Civ 3 was. I don't try to spend every free hour on it. I like the game, no doubt about that, but it just isn't as addictive.
So I haven't played that many games yet. And most of them I just started and never finished. In some of them I still have to reach a position where you realistically can claim a victory, although I am far from lost.
And I played 2 online games, 1 which was a tryout and won in 2 or 3 hours, and 1 where I'm trying to kick Akots' ass (WHERE ARE YOU YOU CHICKEN ??)

If I count well, I think I'm at 0,2 - 0,3 games (if I count abandoned games as 0,5).

Well, well, you sneaky guy... We ought to play a normal game not that joke of a map you've created there with empty continents and stuff. I'm ready to go in Civ4 especially considering that Civ3 game of ours that never got started.

@Digger: It is a very complicated to calculate. I think I can beat the Immortal level on a Standard Pangea map with Praetorians if starting without barbarians. Now, got to finish that game.

More a protoss man myself. Turtling in behind the all-purpose air&ground cannons and building a heap of carriers backup by a few arbiters to make em invisible. Loved the sight of all those little bug like planes coming out of the carriers wreaking havoc.

2nd choice of preference:zerg rush. Pester your opponent with the little nasties and then bring in the mutalisks and their ground bombarding equivalents.

Did play humans a lot although I've seen expert players pull of incredible tank attacks.

When I got ISDN and first was able to play games online at a decent speed I played both Starcraft and Diablo1. Diablo was so infested with cheaters already that soon I only played starcraft. Kept it up quite intensively for over a year.

Thinking back on that I'm amazed Monique even married me. I've spent whole weekends playing online.....

And the resulting phone bills werent very palatable either

I feel the same way. I think it is the clunky interface and hard on the eye sight graphics that puts me off though. Hopefully patches improves the interface, and i am relying on mods to provide easy-on the eye graphics.
