Civilization 4 rocks..
They added religions.
Right now:
I’m the Russians.
They are christian as the state religion. Christianity dominates 20% of the world. Buddhism is bigger.
I’m at peace and in trade with the Chinese the Spanish and the Indians.
I have the top 4 cultural cities in the world.
Moscow is sick from overcrowding, but they still keep celebrating the monarch.
I am at war with the Japanese. I hold Tokyo which has a population that’s now 43% russian the rest Japanese.
I destroyed completely one Japanese city. Working on Kyoto now.
A Spanish city defected to join the Russian empire because it liked me better.
Russia is the most economically and technologically advanced civilization. I have just finished researching riflemen.
And… I’m playing on easy. Not sure if I’ll finish this world. Might go to a harder one.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m keen to see how the play by email multiplay game works.
Yes… it is very addictive. It’s hard to remember that it’s a turn based strategy and that you can continue any time. I just keep making moves.
