I am going to buy that the day it is available in Kolkata, no matter what is the cost. Seems better than it's other competitor AOE III, although of a little different genre, one is real time strategy, other is turn based strategy.

I think Gamespot and Gamespy will follow suit and give it a Editor's Choice Award.

What...no one's interested in Civ IV??? That's bad...Well, I found this another review at gamespot. They have also given 9.4/10.

By the way, has it arrived in India? When will it come?

yep civ 4 is supposed to be grt ...

downloading it now

Downloading...where from???

Is the game hit the Indian market? The other day (last sunday) I went to Music world and Planet M, Kolkata and they told that they have just put a purchase requisition for the same to the international distributors of 2K Games.

Am getting fidgety, just cannot wait any more.

I had mailed the support staff at Milestone Interactive. They have confirmed that they will indeed release the game, though they could not provide the exact date at which the game will be available in stores in India. Keeping fingers crossed.

BTW, does anyone know the recommended system requirements for the game?

D

Minimum System Requirements
System: 1.2 GHz or equivalent
RAM: 256 MB
Video Memory: 64 MB

I also am really looking forward to this game. Have played all the games in the Civilization series and i am a huge fan.

Just wondering are you a fileplanet subscriber? Civ-IV is available for download to only complete subscribers of fileplanet, as far as I know and it can be purchased digitally from www.fileplanet.com.

Still not available, what are the distributors doing? In bengali there is a sentence whose english translation would be: "Sitting and eating grass!!!" (bose bose ghaas khacche)!!!

Has the game arrived? Anyone got it yet?

Hi digitized! Well u could buy Civ-IV from ebay, see here:
