I don't know ifthis should have been in civ3 general, but I figured since C3C is the latest, this might be the place.

I was wondering about the true level of civ lovin' going on here amongst you guys and gals.

I mean, how many of you singles out there find yourself more interested in playing civ on a friday or saturday night instead of going out?

And if married, is civ your escape?

If you are single, do you trash civ in favor of going out? or is civ something that makes you want to stay in?

and i'm not talking about singles that have girl/boyfriends.

do those of you who have no "attachments" find yourselves staying in on weekend nights for pc games instead of going out to "find someone"?

don't know what i'm getting at here...maybe this is OT.

Probably OT, but I have someone and I am too old to look for another, so I am keeping her. Plus she went to Laughlin for 4 days and left me with my PC, yahoo.

That sounds about right. It also satisfies my urge to take over the world.

I play Civ when I can, in between time with my girlfriend and friends. Inevitably this means you don't Civ as much as when you are 18, and Civ2 is released.

But I still manage to get a fair amount in I'd say.......and posting from work in the week helps.

Playing Civ is one of the best ways to relax. Somehow, I always find myself forgetting my concerns when playing Civ... and yes, I have many times had the experience of seeing 5 hours pass when I thought I've only been playing for an hour!

Playing Civilization isn't as high a priority as being socially active.

I'm sorry..

I flirt with Theodora on Saturday night. Speaking of which...I got a hot date with a certain Byzantine right about now...

Hope my wife doesn't find out

It's actually pretty funny to do. You start off sober and careful, building a good base of power in the early game. By the Middle Ages, you start forgetting to check what every city is building and wind up with a bunch of colluseums and cathedrals in size 4 towns. Come the Industrial Age, you're three sheets to the wind, screaming obscenities at the AI figureheads, and thinking that a war against all the AI at once sounds like a good idea.

At least, that's what I've heard.

The only safe stage to play when *wrecked* is in the Modern Era... a sh*tload of MAs make the game very, uh, forgiving.

Civ lifestyle... heck with that, what about DG LIFESTYLE!!

(Note of explanation: for those not involved, there are several democracy games floating around, both single and multi-player. Those damn things are lifetakers and heartbreakers... throw on top of that some SP, the AU, C3C's release...)

My girlfriend actually enjoys the game but isn't much for the detailed handling of it... so when I don't have alone time to play my own empires, we sort of cooperate. Ostensibly it's "her" game and I act as advisor and operator. Basically this amounts to me playing, as she sits near me playing "bejeweled" on a PDA and making the big decisions. She pays more attention when there are battles going on or when negotiating with other leaders.

The problem with playing Civ with the girlfriend is that the game never gets finished

At the moment Civ on a Fri/Sat is a viable cheap alternative to going out. Being a poor student results in options like this.
