Sure. Exclude those who haven't run out and brought an expansion pack that's probably buggy and won't be playable until the first patch Jeez, man. Not all of us are wading in money.

Well I wasn't planning on getting BTS just yet... It's just trying to find the time to play a GotM these days...

No BtS games just yet. We'll wait till more have it... (If mine doesn't arrive by Tuesday, I'm going to burn amazon.com to the ground... any ideas on how I can accomplish this feat with a website?) After the first patch would probably be the best bet. Anyone else playing this game still?

My computer time is limited, so I won't be able to gather any more trophy banners until it's for BtS. You're all so lucky... Jeez, man. Not all of us are wading in money. Heh, I always compare these little expenses with what I used to spend on the seven heavenly sins. It ain't so bad.

Yeah, 30 bucks in the U.S. at least is not a lot of money. I mean, you could go without a few meals (which you know is what you're going to end up doing anyway). Priorities man, priorities. Plus this would give the rest of us a chance... I doubt I will be finishing this one too. Just no time and the hopes of winning are slim. I have a massive army but it's not advanced enough to be able to sweep through the enemy's lands in time to get to some winning landmark. Finally could build conquestadors after pasturing the nearest horse supply which is miles and miles away but I'm going to be able to build cavalry soon anyway so it's almost pointless. I'll be picking up BtS today and it would be a fun learning experience to have as a GOTM. If not August, September may work out.

Anyone still playing? Yeah, me. That being said, however...my game will not be worth posting...1996 right now, at war with the Greeks for the first time ever...tanks and artillery against infantry and rifles/cannon. I WILL give myself credit for not losing. The barbarians were amazingly troublesome... But what REALLY freakin' torqued me off was...lessee...my UU is a horse unit. Where are the horses? Yeah, way over there. Oh, coal? You want coal? NO COAL FOR YOU...AI sees it all and the Greeks threw a city 8 million miles from home to snag the nearest (relatively speaking) coal to you. Nothing new there...just worse than ever...normal Civ tickingmeoffitis. And there's nothing I like better than being beaten to wonders by 2 turns...every single time. Oh and the AI trading techs to each other for pocket lint...again nothing new. On the bright side...I didn't lose...and will win at a time victory unless the Koreans beat me to a ship launch. My capital was also the biggest one I've ever had at like 26...four religions founded...so inother words, every one that didn't spawn at the start of the game, counting judaism that they gave me. At least I'm working out how to run an empire. 4x the amount of military I think I need and money money money...that's all you need to remember, really. Unless you want to fight...in which case I still need to learn. Doing better, but there seems to be way more WAR in Civ IV and that is not what I tended to play the franchise for. If you can't fight, you're done, because in C-IV, peace is never the answer. Edit: Done: Time victory. Not bad, Nero is probably about right too...Le Sigh

I bought BTS today, but haven't touched it yet. I'd also recommend to do a GOTM when more people have it rather than just 2-3 tops.

I didn't have time this month, with real life throwing bricks at me (And not gold-plated ones either). Just broke down and got BtS as well, but I'm still game for August's GOTM. So much for repeat champions.
