I'm pretty sure it's mandatory.

I have no idea how multiplayer works, but maybe we can schedule a small game?

Yes it is i bought box issue and it was requiring steam for install.

Oh, yes... :ak47:

Civ 3 is the best Civ game, IMO. I know a lot of people prefer 2, but I just think 3 is better overall.

I've been looking at Deus Ex and Dead Island. I don't know which one I want to get. I might pick up both, but then I won't get anything done. Also looking forward to Skyrim.

Actually civ one would be best :D

I haven't played Civ 5, I liked all the others so I might give this a try shortly. Some good recommendations in this thread, thanks guys :)

Only games I play are via mame from the 1980s :)

Indeed. The game is small sized - it does not take many resource from your machine, it has cool sounds and very nice graphics. It cannot compare itself to World Of Warcraft or other similar of that MMORPG games of that kind, but it has cool idea - the WWII. And it has tanks!
Many tanks - different kind of tanks - upgrades to the tanks, ammunition, research and other cool stuff / a true gamer would understand/ - You may choose between the three nations:
USA, Soviet Russia and Germany - and every nation has several different classes of tanks :
Light, Medium, Heavy tanks, Destroyer tanks and some more. Every battle gives you experience and some silver/money. With exp you may do some research from the technology tree and thus to have the ability to buy better tank from the list. And they are soooo many different types !!!

You may have upgrades on every component of the machine : suspension track, turret, gun and radio. Also you can train a crew in the barracks. The better machine gives you the ability to have fights on different maps and terrains. There's a friendly fire - that means if your aim is not good you may kill someone from your team.

Basically that's what I got from this game.

a lot of civ fans here then :) also want to give some love to civ 4...not the vanilla version but with the beyond the sword expansion.....lots of neat things in there (like vassals)

Yeah vanilla ver sucks hard ass.

+1

with Conquest add-on

I also still play Colonization (for DOS!) from time to time

last PC games played are Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and... WoW. :)
I want the new ALice game for PC. Anyone like that one?

Long time PC gamer here. (surprise!) Latest ones that occupied my time: Fallout 3, Left4Dead 2, and Mass Effect (1 & 2).

Might have to look into this game the OP is mentioning, and a few others... once I upgrade. Seems my ultimate badass computer of 4 years ago is now obsolete and no longer able to run some of the newer games. :(

Longggtime PC gamer here, like Tribes longtime, SOFII blah blah

Don't play anything on the PC anymore as PC gaming is dead until D3 comes out which I'll be getting (and still a little wow now and then), all PS3 now.

yeah too bad it took them two expansion packs to get it to pretty much perfect...I've played every civ except 2 I think....3, 4 and 5 are in my collection....

coloniation was good too (the original one)...I do own the last remake but it wasn't great unfortunately

I think I have never played any version online though...
