A Pirates MMO seems much more likely than a Civilization one. I wonder…

Finally! After all these years, we get a Covert Action online! There is a God! And his name is Sid!

IT WON’T WORK

or at least it will be something completely different.

The whole fun part about Civilization is that it was turn-based, making it a real-time game would change it into .. something completely different.

MMO just means multiplying the amount of dickheads you have to ignore online by a couple of thousand. Over exposure =(

I can’t see it being much fun. You’d have to wait for *ever* for the turns to end! ;-)

I have absolutely no idea how it would work, but it can be certain that a Civ MMO would be the most addictive game ever created.

I bought and installed Civ4 + both addons on saturday. Which was probably really stupid of me. Good bye social life….

Having finished both TimeShift and Crysis over the weekend, I rounded Sunday off nicely with yet another visit to Chiron in Alpha Centauri.

The game has been installed on every one of my PCs since it came out (1999?) and I would really like to see an update as it looks a bit ropey on my 30″ Dell monitor. Mind you, the Intel Quad core chip makes the game seem like one continous turn.

I must admit, I’m not sure what a Civ MMO would even be like. Would it be a persistent world built around a tactical city building and warring (Turn based or otherwise)? If so I’m interested, but it seems to me that a new IP would be far more likely. More mainstream MMO friendly, I suspect, which I’m not sure is ever a good thing these days.

EDIT: But then, it’s Sid Meier. Perhaps I’ll be surprised.

Damn, a fighter pilot MMO? That would be… interesting. F19 Stealth Fighter was an awesome game. The anti-piracy system for it consisted of testing how much of a massive plane geek you were by identifying silhouettes… I swear I could still porbably identify 90% of them :D
