    Haha, I would spend some time on single player first and try to pick up some tips from Civilization Fanatics before moving to multi player. Otherwise you'll get your ass kicked!

    I spend far too much time playing Civ IV.

    I did, but then I went back to Civ3..Civ4 has spent a lot of time on my shelf. I just don't think it's as much fun

    That said it works better online, and you can have some looooonnnggg games if you play with the right people.

    Nuts and I play online against the computer a fair bit.

    If you can get on IRC #hexus.cs it would be easy to arrange a multiplayer.

    I think Ajbrun is gonna buy it as well.

    Nope. I tried the demo, and I got bored very quickly. It just made me remember that I don't actually like those type of games .

    I've got it, but I'm not too good at it yet so I'm gonna stick with single player for now

    I'd like to know what else you've played that's similar.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    Theres quite a few turned based strategy games.

    Total War series, it has huge RTS battles but you can auto-resolve them, making the main campaighn a TBS if you want to.

    Galactic Civilizations II, like Civ but in space, best space TBS since Master of Orion 2.

    There are a few others but those ones are the best ones that come to mind.
