Anybod play these games?

Well, it seems like Topmat has vanished from the forum. Too bad. Our second game was just underway and could have become interesting.
I do hope everything is alright for my former chess opponent.

About a decade ago, I purchased a bargain bin CD ROM for Sid Meier’s Windows Civilization  and Colonization (DOS)

$10 from one of those office stores then .

I replayed both a gazillion times on 2 sequential PC’s.

It was hard enough to get a group together as a single…
Even harder now that I am married. 
Most of the get together folks I hung out with now have kids, and even less time for such a game gatherings anymore.
After work, I can play a solo game on my PC for a while, save it , and then get back to my chores.

Not sure why you would limit yourself to just board games that would need other folks to match your schedule.

Anyone else vote in this? Think it would be nice to see some equal representation over those pansy euro worker allocation and tedious card games.

Head over and vote for your favorite A&A boardgames, and whatever others are left over after you fill the slots with A&A.  :-D

If you like turn based strategy games, then you’ll love this game.

I almost hate to bring this up, but I’ve been playing an “on line” server game for a few months now called, “Travian”. And am curious to know who else here is or has been playing this real time Strategy game. :?

I like both pretty equally. With regards to what you said about RTS skill being about memorizing hotkeys and such, I don’t bother attaining enough skill in this department just to be better at the game. (Maybe this is why I still haven’t beaten Starcraft or Warcraft 3?) But I still love RTS because of the fast-paced decision making! On the other hand, Turn-based is awesome because it allows alot of time for decision making. So as long as it’s one of the two extremes, I’m good to go. :D

ANYWAY, I bet this guy doesn’t even have an honest copy of the A&A boardgame. He probably downloaded the rules someplace and made a board out of linoleum and plastic pieces out of used gum and pipe-cleaners.

Too much work, I’d say.
