My gf was playing a mod for Civ 4 that made it start in the Stone age. The barbarians posted up outside had ~150 Slingers so she was talking to me about the process of ousting them, and this panel flashed before my eyes like I was about to die and it's all I could remember.
is this too niche

I used to think this quote seemed really cynical, like an excuse to take advantage of people, but even that apparently isn't enough anymore. Now we're expected to pay $70-$80 for a videogame at a time when videogames are more abundant than ever. It's not worth it, but they're going to treat it like it's inevitable. It's not. Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.
I have the disc to play Civilization 4, and I have a computer with a disc drive... but uh. apparently due to anti-piracy stuff they added to Windows 10 the game refuses to run. I tried setting up a VM running a version of windows without the stupid anti-piracy stuff, but then it demanded that the VM have a disc drive (despite the whole program already being loaded onto it? for some reason?), and I could not figure out how to make the VM think it had a disc drive, and after a few months decided to just get rid of the VM and civ 4 files to save space. I contacted the company who owns Civ 4, and found that they had a system where you could show you had the disc and then get a key for it on steam, but when I went to go use the system, I found it was DISCONTINUED! Meaning that despite literally having a legally purchases copy of Civ 4 in my house, I cannot play it, and therefore the only possible way to play Civ 4 is to pirate it.

Tonight at 7pm EDT, I will be streaming Civilization IV!
In a similar vein to my Pharaoh and Majesty streams, I’m going back to play an older entry in this popular series, one that released 17 years ago in 2005.
Most people are probably familiar with Civ V or Civ VI, if not both, and while IV is instantly recognizable as coming from the same series of games, it is in many ways a very different game, arguably having more in common mechanically with the first three games than it does with Civ VI.
The map is divided into squares instead of hexagons, and units can stack infinitely onto a single tile. Combat between units is typically to the death. Science is not a separate yield, but instead the player must choose to dedicate some percentage of their gold income to research.
On the other hand, Civ IV did introduce a few features that previous games lacked. While cultural borders were introduced in the previous entry, Civ IV marks the first time that open borders treaties must be signed in order to send units through another civ’s territory without starting a war. Great People were also introduced in Civ IV, as well as religion, though religious gameplay is significantly more simplistic than it would be in later entries. And of course, Civ IV is a huge graphical upgrade from the previous entry, switching from an isometric view with sprites to a full 3D engine.
Looking forward to the stream!
Borderlands 3 Hud.
