my daughter is playing civ1!! Inflate your Upload Space

she's 8 now, and previously only played as a joke or to make fun of me. but earlier this week she asked me seriously how to REALLY play civilization. so I started her out on civ1 (civ for windows). her first game she started in the babylonian starting place and sent warriors around exploring, got a free cavalry and legion for her efforts. she was naturally peaceful, but got irritated when a russian warrior pinned her cavalry to the coast with ZOC rules (she had trouble getting the hang of those rules). she got mad and wiped out the unit pinning her, then went and flattened Moscow.
She liked wiping out moscow so much that she then went and took berlin. since they hadn't expanded yet, and there were only 3 players, she won the game. in 2720 BC, chieftan difficulty.

Now she's addicted, she can't get enough of civ!!

another civ addict is born.

Hi, I started playing Civ when I was 5. I couldn't read, I couldn't write, but my
brother played Civ1 way back in 1992, and I one day played around with
the computer and started playing Civ. Because I had watched many times when
my brother played it (it fascinated me), I remembered how he started it.

I would like to point out that:
(a) I am not joking, nor lieing (lying, sp?)
(b) Civilization I was not the first game I played; I had earlier played MOO (or was it Star Lords?)
with the same principle.
(c) For 2 years, I only built catapults, didn't know how to use settlers,
etc, etc. I always thought that the game was unfair because AI could build cities...

wait until she's 16, and it's pretty much up to her, although if you're much older I'll frown heavily until she's 18.

she hasn't earned much computer time these last couple of weeks, so it's been on hold. she laughed when I showed her how to ics in civ1, with cities blanketing the plains....
