    but we could create our own game and lock it. you can lock it, only problem i see is, can you save online games, because if you can't, i and i am sure you, are not going to stay online for hours just to finish a game.

    Hate to Necro an old thread, but you can indeed save online games. All you do is save the game, then when you and your opponents are ready to resume the game, the host loads it, the others join and it launches again where you left off.

    This is on a PC, of course.. I have no idea how the PS3 games work for Civ.

    I play Civ IV now when I'm out of town working in a hotel against my brothers at night after work (cheaper than hanging out at the bar).

    Civ is still by far and away the best world conquest game ever. Get the expansion packs for Civ IV and you'll have so many different mods it'll take you months to decide which is your favorite.

    As far as beating it on Deity, I've never even come close. You either have your war machine ramped up and fall behind in technology or get your ass handed to you because they overwhelm your defenses with Chariots and Catapults. Finding the right balance is almost impossible unless you get lucky and land on a good size island at the beginning all by yourself.

    A strategy that seems to work when you have an aggressive neighbor is to run your latest & greatest military unit up to the border so that the AI knows you have them. It seems to make them less likely to attack you if you're ahead in the military technologies department.

    The game is like crack. I hadn't played it in over a year. Decided to play for a bit a couple weeks ago. Played it for 10 hours straight. You just can't help it. You have to go one more turn.

    If any of you are still playing Civ IV, my brother and I have been playing the Beyond The Sword expansion - we've both got some time off in the next couple of weeks.

    The more, the merrier!

    Shoot me a PM if you want to get in on the action.

    Yea I have BTS also. My nephew and I usually team up against harder AI's. Too hard and it gets boring though cause they dominate you. I'll have to look you up for a game if I have some free time.
