    I have Civ IV around here somewhere, it didn't feel as good as Civ III used to back in the day so I probably have maybe 5-6 hours of play on Civ IV before I called it a waste of money. Don't think I'll get this one, might try a demo if available thru steam or something.

    Thanks for reminding me, I knew I was forgetting something. I edited my original post to show the system requirements. I hope they help.

    I'm seriously thinking of getting it too Slayer. I added some previews for it to my site if they're of any interest (Civilization V previews/reviews), although it hasn't helped me decide yet lol. The main thing holding me back atm is the gameplay angle .. coming from an Age of Empires, Anno 1404 (Dawn of Discovery), Settlers etc etc background I'm not 100% it's for me.

    Yeah, im getting it for sure. I really like any strategy game almost and while revolution was silly and I skipped it this seems to be something I would enjoy.

    On a side note, jango have you played Alpha centauri?

    After a very nice expansion, doubling the list of factions, and introducing two non-human factions with a different tech victory condition and an inherent opposition to humanity, with a language barrier and the prevention of certain victory conditions while present, the talent behind SMAC returned to work on future Civilization games, including the also excellent Civilization 4, but the complexity of the series peaked here, in the bizarre sci-fi spin-off.

    Strangely my first answer was going to be 'no', but then having said that the name REALLY rings a bell. I play a lot of games so it might've got lost in the mix :S

    Yeah I know what you mean. Is it that the game is really focused on a turn-based strategy. Sometimes that just gets a little annoying for me.
