yep, great game and very addictive. I have started to enjoy beating other civilizations culturally or religiously rather than the typical military domination.

civilization is good shit but after a while its so repetitive and predictable, also later in the game when civilization is large it takes forever to micro manage all teh shit you have going on .

but ya it definetly is a good game. the expansions werent really that great IMO

i always dl them and never manage to play them for too long-

i cant really get into the "turn based" format and how everything seems so unrealistic.

maybe im missing something cuz everyone says how awesome civ is.

how should i approach the game to make it enjoyable?

like it always seems like the actions u can do are so limted and straightforward- it takes like 10 truns for your dudes to walk to another place etc etc...

give me some tips on how to play it and make it fun if u can cuz id like to find a new game to sink some time into
