Civilized Civilization

Another blogger reveals his addiction to Civilization, the video game.

I used to love playing "Civilization III", although apparently some huge amount of the hard drive space it takes up is devoted to animating a huge set of three-dimensional heads for the diplomacy screens. The ability of a few courageous galley crews to occasionally knock out a battleship always had me puzzled.

Anyway, I had given up "Civilzation III" a few years ago for reasons of, essentially, preserving interpersonal harmony, but it's back on the computer as of today.
