Mashable - The Social Media Guide: Gamers Rejoice! Legendary Civilization Is Coming to Facebook

  • mihan77 · 1 month ago
    Wow, its like I previously wasted too little time playing games on facebook. I might as well just stop pretending to work and play Civilization full-time. Do you think Sid Meier would be open to health benefits for his more dedicated gamers?

    I hope civilization network has a full technology tree and it is not all about farms and crops.

    Sweet. Dibs on the beta! I always used to play Civ games (aka I still was playing the latest up until last year).
  • r0cketman22 · 1 month ago
    I hope I get into the beta testing also! I download the iPhone app the second it was released.

    BTW, is that a correct use of 'aka?'

    Okay this will be even more of a time suck. Looking forward to it.

    u needed a reason to ditch the awful farmville?
  • BrianHealy · 1 month ago
    Not really, but there's not a lot else to do on Facebook and its the best of a very poor bunch of game apps.

    Not that I play it much now anyways! :)

    That's fantastic. I love Civilization. I obsessed with 2 until I had to reformat and lost the CD some years ago. :(
    Even with the visual upgrades and depth added in 3 (not overwhelming), it's still a fantastic game.
    Alpha Centauri is fantastic. (I'm not sure about the expansion, though.)
  • bmusic · 1 month ago
    You should try 4. It's much better than 3.

    :D Wow great news :D i hope it will be RTS instead of turn-based :)
  • tuxme2 · 1 month ago
    I think this will be cool. Playing real Civilization instead of Freeciv.
  • Dennis Hettema · 1 month ago
    Wow, a Facebook game I will probably actually play!
  • zigojacko · 1 month ago
    Woohoo, awesome, I love the Civilization games, remember the first one that came out on the PC, I was hooked! :D

    I don't bother playing game apps on Facebook but even I might have to check this one out

    Damn you, Sid Meier.

    How many hundreds of undergrad and advanced degrees have been delayed by one or more semesters because of you? How many technical advances have been postponed or abandoned because of you? Promotions missed? Bladders ruptured? How many angry girlfriends, Mr. Meier? How many!? Will you never be satisfied!?

    So what was that URL again? I call Babylonians.

    this is an exciting news to know i expect a lot of latest tech trend in this new feature of facebook
  • stukes · 1 month ago
    finally a game on facebook other than poker and tetris that i can play.

    This sounds like it could either be a brilliant combination of social media innovation and an absolute classic came, or the most irritating thing since a Facebook App developer said "Hey, you know what's cool? Pirates..."

  • John Boyle · 1 month ago
    Oh man I can't wait for this. The only reason I don't have the latest Civ is because if I did I wouldn't do anything else!
  • julielsmith · 1 month ago
    I also liked Colonization much more than Civilization - maybe they'll bring that one to Facebook too.
  • aboutjer · 1 month ago
    Oh no...this is great!
  • Shihtzustaff · 1 month ago
    I loved, loved, loved colonization! I was so happy when it was released for the PC again last year. Now I am hoping for Colonization for the Mac.

    Looks great. Probably will be the only app I use in Facebook other than Twitter.

    I liked Colonization better, too. The graphics were cuter.
  • Terrintokyo · 1 month ago

    I never liked Civilization much. Masters of Orion, Masters of Magic, Might and Magic were so much better in my opinion.
  • Heather · 1 month ago
    Looking forward to it. And I really loved Colonization!
  • Sam Thorne · 1 month ago
    Oh, noes, another Evony?!? I'm sunk!
  • Paulo · 1 month ago
    Truthfully, you are probably the only one who preferred Colonization. Great game, but almost not comparable.
  • e cigarette · 1 month ago
    Interesting... This game is sweet. They should port it over to the iphone.
  • ruddiger · 1 month ago
    This game is the reason I bought a PC in the first place...
