Don't use Steam, though if it's the only way your version can run I'll install it. I'm quitting my job Friday so I should have plenty of time for ~2 weeks.

W1zz paying you more, or are you quitting here. Don't leave me alone with these heathens Dan. :laugh:



I will check to see if I can run a regular match, or if it is just Steam. I thought W1zz gave you guys free steam and games. If so I have some other friends and we like to play TF2 if you would care to join.

Quitting my real job :)
W1z pays worse than the average African landlord. W1z doesn't give us free Steam games, we have an account with all games active though. Can use that if it's really needed. Though it's mainly for benchmarking, can't make a habit out of it.

Benchmark Scores It does boot up? I think.
I loved Civilization 1, 2, 3, Colonization and Alpha Centauri but Civ4 lasted only 5 minutes installed on my HDD - I was horrified how crappy the new 3D looked. Goddamit, I don't want 3D animated sheeps running around the map. :eek:


:twitch:
:slap:

I wish they just had combined Civ3 with Alpha Centauri-type of 3D-like world map...
:(

well Civ3 for me was disapointing it wasn't as in depth as Civ2 was, much more straigh forward. And hard to use the Tech Tree to your advantage, ya know have Muskeers when the other civs have horsemen and are reshearing things like the republic


But i want Alpha Centuri 2 or Colonization 2. Colonization was one of the best games from Sid Meier to date

Turn up the settings and realise that this isn't a 3D game.
