It is a safe bet for the publisher that they will easily make much more money by making this a regular retail console title.<BR/><BR/>The potential profits will be especially pronounced on the Xbox 360 because they will be able to sell oodles of mini-expansions through Xbox Live.<BR/><BR/>I can agree that 90% of the people who buy this game within the first 6 months of release will be hardcore Civilization fans. Nonetheless, after that 6 month period I can see this game becoming an Xbox classic title.<BR/><BR/>I will be playing it like a like an Indian drinks a case of 10 year old when it comes out. Hope to see you in there.Mipam Thurmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362052681375122519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-4903109045565335782008-06-06T18:03:00.000-04:002008-06-06T18:03:00.000-04:00i got Civ 4 on the pc, very tempted to get this on...i got Civ 4 on the pc, very tempted to get this one.

You would not have to build a single troop if you dont want to. You can play passively and try to go for a Cultural victory while I defend you against Darth's samuri. Its a pretty standard strategy for multiplayer!Chronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051954780090847748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-84776410008590195932008-06-06T16:42:00.000-04:002008-06-06T16:42:00.000-04:00Bender, you have to realize the game has an immens...Bender, you have to realize the game has an immense learning curve. Its based on Civ4 which is probably the deepest and most complicated video game ever made. Its pretty much a complete simulator for human history, including war, technology, religion and great people. I think I probably played 4-5 complete games of Civ4 before I had ANY clue what was going on beyond a basic understanding. The game has a VERY robust mathematical basis for its gameplay and its pretty much as perfectly balanced as a game can be. Getting over the graphics and the steep learning curve will be difficult for many players but I think someone like you who already enjoys strategy games will eventually come to realize the brilliance in the game. If you dont buy a copy one might just show up at your doorstep.<BR/><BR/>We should play the demo online together and I could explain some things, and basic strategies for exploring and building up your civ. The game IS RIDICULOUSLY FUN and possibly more addictive than crack once you get over the hump. If there was ever a game thats worht the pain of learning its Civ, especially for someone like you.Chronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051954780090847748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619851295680882975.post-19049107523052305562008-06-06T16:18:00.000-04:002008-06-06T16:18:00.000-04:00The demo was pretty wide in scope and for someone ...The demo was pretty wide in scope and for someone used to Catan. I'd maybe prefer it if I could focus on one side. Say, do a co-op where one controls the military and one the production/expansion of cities.<BR/><BR/>Doing all that at once while competing with other seasoned Civ players feels a bit too much to handle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
