New Civ game coming to... Facebook?
Apparently Sid Meier is aiming for a domination victory. In an attempt to get even more people addicted to civ, or, depending on your view, waste even more of our precious time, he announced a new Civ game specifically for Facebook:

As seen on Kotaku.

I'm very curious in what this will bring!
I'm playing a game on Facebook already: Mafia Wars. They've got a funny applet with which you can easily make online programs, like quizzes and other games. And one company in particular has taken the opportunity to make some good and elaborate games to make money.

Actually when it does come out maybe we should do a cdz page on facebook to tie in with it, maybe get a few more playing the real thing here

That's not a bad idea. Although then I'd have to get a Facebook page.

I'm puzzled about this news. I'm pretty sure this is just a way to attract many more people to the Civ world by buzz, and it'll just be a simplified version of the game applied to a persistent environment. Too much time to lose there (I remember Travian requiring way too much attention all the freaking time). And I don't want to touch Facebook apps.
But of course I'm curious about the project (just to please Matrix ). BTW, any people here on Facebook ?
