Fighting of Civ 4

[dita]

I`ve always played Civ since Civ 1. My wife could never understand how I could play such a "boring" game for hours at a time.

Anyway, fast forward several versions to Civ 4 and I`m still playing, and my wife is still saying..."why are you playing this? What is the fascination in it?

So I spent a evening showing her the basics whilst I played.......

And here I am, two months later waiting to play my next game of Civ!!!!:mad:

I can`t get onto the game, let alone the PC to play another game. Needless to say, she is doing quote well, but unable to master "Noble" level.

PS I do manage to get on the PC to play my email Steel panthers games....;)

I'd say it's time to take her on in a multiplayer game.

Only one solution man, buy an other PC and engage the fight with her.
No diplomacy, deathmatch to prove her man superiority :D

Good luck

LoL

Thats is starting to become a serious option !!!

Though even with my wifes new found addiction I don`t think I can persuade her to let me get another PC!!!!

[Aries]

Has she even played Heroes of Might and Magic?

Just wondering if she could take your Steel Panthers time too hehe.

[vyshka]

Did you convince her of the need for a 2nd pc? Good ones are cheap enough that the cost would be worth it to avoid marital strife, except for the first time one backstabs the other in MP.

I mentioned another PC/laptop, no way....:upset:

That said, when I mentioned the multplayer possibilities.....:)

"Heroes of Might and Magic"-- Blimey, I`ve learnt my lesson on this one...Not showing her any other games I think she might like.

Hope she doesn`t realise I`ve got the Monkey Island games and Grim Fandango installed still ;)

Dita ,

Could you reach some kind of diplomatic solution where both of you "share" quaility PC time,maybe alternate or whatnot?

[dita]

Hi,

Sharing is the only option. But PC time in the house is now at a premium, between me, eldest daughter, youngest daughter and the wife!! Actually getting on the PC is a challenge in itself.

I`ve started a hotseat multiplayer with my wife, under the provision I don`t declare war of her :)

Wife is currently arguing with the youngest daughter as her viva piniata garden is far superior to the wifes (on xbox360) :)

Wow that's a tough spot to be in, I can understand your difficulties now.
