I suppose this thread was meant to be sarcastic, but at my age it's difficult to take it as anything but a compliment. Thanks, Horse!

AH,
Come on, how do you expect people to take you seriously. This is not the OT forum and doesn't work like the OT forum. All we have to go by is your past actions in the CtP forums.
If you want to be taken seriously, try joining in and supporting the forums on a regular basis. When people see you can act like a human and want to actually contribute something positive, they would be more willing to forget your past acts.
If not, go back to OT.

It's quite evident from all the responding posts that Alexander doesn't exactly have the highest reputation with CTP players. I'll not judge whether that's deserved or not since I'm a relative newcomer here. I'm sure those criticizing him feel they have every reason to do so.
However, I will say that regardless of any past actions on his part that the question he posed IS a legimate question even if it's not exactly being asked in right location.
So rather than attack the questioner shouldn't we be answering him? Personally I do believe CTP has drawn a younger audience than Civ II. But this isn't a negative thing, rather it's a positive thing. The reason why Civ II has an older audience is simply because it's composed of a lot of people that have been playing the Civ games since they've first started out. Whereas CTP draws a much higher percentage of people trying a civ type game for the first time ever (i.e. the younger crowd). As I said this is a positive thing. It means as the game itself matures and newer versions come out based on the CTP model it'll have it's own customer base without having to rely exclusively on past Civ gamers. So what if we're a younger crowd than the crusty old Civers? That just means CTP has an inside track on future Civers while Civ III will have to rely on an ever decreasing core of buyers.

At least Hanibal is polite, unlike some of you.

Don't know if the average age playing is younger or not, but I have a hunch that (as mentioned before) that the 'new' players of civ games go out and buy the 'new' game...CtP. I don't know that the appeal has changed, but most people buy the latest one out there.
I check in at 33, and sometimes wonder what my college GPA would have looked like if Civ never existed.....

Thanks to Alexander's Horse, I feel much younger than my 36 years would indicate, being primarily a CTP player.
BTW, if you are still playing both games, does that mean that you're middle-aged? (Geez, I still play Civ I on the Super Nintendo!)
