Howdy O&S,
I was intrigued by your post so I looked up the Civilization game. Very interesting. Question: Do you reccomend a newbie start out with Civ 1? The technology looked a little old but if it is a sequential thing I guess I'll start at the beginning. Thanks. |

Just try out Civ 5. If you have a console, try out Civilization: Revolution. |

Start out on Chiefton or so and work your way up. By the time you get to Noble, it'll take you a month to figure out how to beat it. |

Don't bother. If you're looking for a place to start with Civ, find Civ 2.
Civ 3 is a much better game than Civ 2, though. The diplomacy and cultural options make it much better. Civ 4 streamlined and expanded on the concepts that they introduced in Civ 3. I'd be suprised if you could even find a version of Civ 1 that would work on a modern computer. Civ 4 is the best Civ to date, and without a doubt, Civ 5 will make Civ 4 obsolete. Sid Meier doesn't jerk with his franchise.

Every Civ iteration has been awesome and has outdone the previous version with added layers of depth and strategy. I don't even care about the graphics improvements, though they're nice. It's the strategy that I love, and in each new version, they have improved from the last.
For my part, I see it as the most awesome and elegant strategy game of all time. I'm looking forward to Civ V.
