When the good players from the previous installments refuse to play and all say the same thing, there's an obvious problem. Which is why you hate Fried so much. (I mean, outside being jealous of him.) Cause he's such an easy example to come up with to shoot your silly hypothesis to shreds.

It does not. So, if we put aside reality and accept your statement that all past implementations of Civ's SP competitions could not be "serious"... then how can Civ IV "kill off" that which never existed?

Civ4 did not kill off anything in SP. It is clealy the best game for SP in the whole series. It solved smallpox; that is enough.

That you say Fried wasn't a good player just shows what little credibility you have.

Wow this thread will be locked shortly.

Okay, EyesOfNight. If what you say is true about your skill level (being in the top 10 ever) then what you say about the game is likely right. However, you might be lying to us. Can you show me something that proves your skill level? Thanks

I wish OzzyKP were here so we could once again hear about how the Mirror map was unfair too!

Move along. Need to have at least a working knowledge of what MP is in Civ to participate. SP only people are lost in a lost world.

Oh, and the combat system in Civ4 is probably one of the worst systems in the history of gaming. When I last played, wars had degenerated into mass catapult+axeman stacks being thrown at each other with no one able to get a lead. Everyone turned on stack attack and mashed the numerical keypad to be the first to attack. Really really sad. I think I could write a book on why this game is so screwed.

What an amusing thread... http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/sleep.gif

I lived in Vaville. Is the onion factory still there? Always made me hungry for grilled burgers.

Oh wait, here it is:

MJW, seriously, you really need to leave this thread. Have you ever even played MP before? Also, I already downloaded Civ4 a couple months ago to start playing again and deleted after a week of not being able to find a duel. I really have absolutely no desire to play that game and Krill and I both know he'll do everything he can to dick the settings again. Civ4 is simply not fun, and it's like slogging through mud. The only people who have been able to enjoy is beginners because it's been incredibly simplified and most of the skill has been taken out of it. ANYONE and I do mean ANYONE can be good at Civ4 if they have half a brain. There's really nothing special you can do in it to be better than everyone else. So in other words, it's not worth my time. If the option to completely and totally dominate isn't there then I don't want to play. Oh, I've played a few years ago. But I've forgoten Civ4's gameplay because I quit (after I saw that MP was broken). Because the ladder's all aready dead there is nothing left but bragging rights. That might be enough for you.

This asummes that you are not lying to us. All you need to do is post something that proves that you where good at Civ4. If you are good you are likely right. If not this thread is all BS.
