It's coming out in a week or so....back home. Will they have it at Yongsan, or are my only options having my family send it to me or downloading it via bittorrent?

I don't know but I, like you, am feeling the pain of waiting for the last few days. Sid Meier is a god. If I worshop him on my knees and burn spirit money will he send me Civ4 a few days early???

The worst fear I have about losing my job (as my hagwon seems to be going bankrupt) is that I won't be able to justify purchasing the new computer I might have to get for Civ4!

LOL...I bought a new one a couple of months ago....not "specifically" for this game, but in the back of my mind, I was aware that it was coming and I'd need a better computer to play it.

ONE MORE TURN! ONE MORE TURN! ONE MORE TURN!

It looks like this will be the best one ever. They even got Lenord Nimoy to do a voice over for tech advances!

I'll build a new one for fun, and the side-benefit will be the ability to play almost any game easily. Including this one. And since I loved the earlier Civs, this will be the game for me.

Is that the game where you build civilizations, or the one where you attack them?

Ah, it's the one where you attack civilizations. Thanks, got it.

What's the one where you build civilizations, entire cities and infrastructure and the like?

(It's been a few years since I've played computer games but that game I really liked, so when I saw the new version of "Civilization" was coming out, I thought it might be that, but isn't.)

Really? The linked pages show a lot of fighting.

I was thinking of a game which has no war but did have fires, earthquakes and the like. Do you recall what it was called? (Is an old game I admit. I played it over a decade ago.)
