About damn time? You'd prefer a rushed piece of shit to the masterpiece that will be Civ V? Come on! The six years will be worth it, and I can say to this very day that I get my worth out of Civ IV (BTS).

I literally almost came when I saw this news this afternoon.

with rectangles, I could move to 8 different tiles. Now it will be only 6. Maybe less if better, but I suspect it might be harder.

I hope this turns out well...I still play Civ III. I have Civ IV but it's not a good imo. Aside from Monopoly and all the general stuff they put on PC's, this is the only franchise I own. I like the way it controls ( big fan of point-and-click PC gaming).

YESSSSSSSS! As long as it won't go the "Streamlined" (read: lazy excuse for a strategy game) way, I can't wait!

Insidious. They named it after that which they seek to destroy. It'd be like us renaming the predator missle "Osama".

Did you see the Civ Network facebook "game" they're making? I've no details on it, but it might be the first game I'll ever play on facebook...

Is it a completely new game or a port of Revolutions?

Completely new.

And don't bring up Revolutions again. Ever.

Completely new. Definitely not CivRev.

I'm so frickin' happy. I was in class and almost jumped out of my seat to celebrate.

Hey, Revolution was a fun game. Though I understand it may not have been as awesome as its PC predecessors, it was still entertaining and controlled well for a console, turn-based, strategy game.

I agree with Zoot Suit Jedi

It wasn't quite a Civ game but still extremely fun and over the top

If it weren't for CivRev DS, blackouts would still cause baby booms, and all the pain and suffering they bring with them.

HOLY FVCKING SHIT

I cried when I heard the new Civ in production was going to be a facebook game.

And then I cried again, just now. Yet these were tears of manliness; not of sorrow.

First the StarCraft 2 beta and now this? What next, SimCity 5?

My entire PC library is rising from the grave.

Technically there already is a SimCity 5, but yeah, I'm hoping a Maxis-developed SimCity will come about soon. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity_Societies - more like a spin-off, though, I guess, and wasn't that great)

If I calculate how much I make an hour, and calculate how many hours I've spent on the various Civilization games I'm pretty sure I could have founded my own real civilization.....or at the very least paid off my house.

Any word on a CivRev 2 or something? While totally different than the PC versions of Civilization, a new version would be awesome!

So instead of 8 possible moves from each tile you now have 6, and how am I supposed to play this with my numberpad? I guess 123 and 789?

Probably more mouse-based, or they'll just let you navigate and confirm. I admit I'll miss the old keypad, though!

It works if you turn your keyboard 45 degrees clockwise, and use the 1, 4, 8, 9, 6 and 2 keys :) (5 being in the centre)
Not that I'm saying that's a remotely good idea.

Well, shit. There goes my social life.

...Oh, wait. I didn't *have* one. BECAUSE OF CIV 4.

Still excited for Network, though, mostly because it'll be a way to rope in all those mainstreamers who would never otherwise TOUCH a Civ game.
