OK.I know that geofelt is 60 or 61 years old, Adam Smith ca 42 or 43 and Ming just below 40 (you figure Rah's age out  ). There's a lot of new members now so let's do this again. How old are you? I'm 29. Carolus |

What is a net nanny. Is it one of the stupid stuff that supposedly limit what children can see on the net when they can see it either on tv or elsewhere. By the way I consider it an offence to say that one of 16 is a child. I smoke, drink go to parties and discos (the government is trying to discourage me not to). I don't see these bluff because i've seen them when I was 13 on tv. |

33 here.
I thought I was the oldest after ming/rah. Now I feel almost young again!
I haven't introduced my kid, age 8, to Civ2. My next project might be to translate the game files for her? And install it on one of her own two PCs (one desktop, one laptop).C.

I'm think living much more than 70 is no use. What fun living in a wheel-chair does it give (perhaps playing civ20 or what number will it be at that time !) I have plenty of time to play civ2 as I'm unemployed. How much do you play civ2 per day |

I'm a young civer in my prime - 32. My three-year-old son asked me to buy Worms2 for him today. Of course I directed him to the backyard where he can get all the worms he wants for free. John Paul, thank you for your refreshing perspective. It reminds me of when I was sixteen and I believed that parting, drinking and smoking were the hallmarks of maturity.

Hey folks! It has been a while, but I feel I must at least post to drag the average down. I am all of 20, and all of you folks have me feeling young (as I should, perhaps?!?). Despite that, at least we can say that Civ is a genre for mature gamers, no Lara Croft-loving 14 year olds here, eh? |

EDITED TO: Everyone remember to send your "significant other" flowers, and take them out to dinner; call your mom, send granny a card; take your dog and a tennis ball down to the park! We spend a lot of time playing civ variants, and we need to shut down, take a step back, and look out at the blue blue sky!

I'm only 21,
though I don't drink,
don't smoke
don't use drugs.All I do to ruin my life is playing civ till 4 am since all my evil enemies live in the states and I'm from Europe Though I have to admit that I didn't play a game of civ since Tiberian Sun was released. (now don't kill me) I just calculated the exact average age:
992 / 31 = 32 exactly. Well, I did it without a calculator or a notepad since I didn't felt I like I want to get one, so I'm pretty sure it's a wrong calculation ;-) |
