I have an endless fascination with Civ, or more formally, Sid Meier's Civilization. I've been playing this damn game for approximately 15 years and change, starting with Civilizations, culminating with Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword. The only game I've played longer is the *Hack tree of rougelike derivatives.
I've recently started playing in a group comprised of three old BBS/school friends, my younger brother, and a former co-worker in a regular multiplayer game. Before this, my multiplayer experience has been limited to one game of FreeCiv, and a (still running) pair of PBEM Civ4 games (about two years and still going).
Anyway, I figure it's high time we put together a blog to talk about multiplayer and why exactly we all suck at this game, despite the countless hours invested.
This blog will serve as a repository of multiplayer (and occasional single player) wisdom, as well as a place to chronicle our victories (and more often) crushingly stupid defeats.
Oh, and this blog starts at the end of our second live game. I've lost both so far. The first was a blowout by one player. The second was more evenly matched, but I got ate by tech.
