    Reading this made me sign up (ps3; my name is the same as my psn account let me know if you want to play.). But I will say for a thread that is supposed to be welcoming newcomers the thread getting off track by critiquing small grammatical errors isn't very welcoming.

    I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't post anything because I was just lurking.

    As any internet board, these forums get off track quite frequently. As far as the grammatical errors, what's the point of pointing them out? Does it make someone feel superior?

    English is a second language for some posters. People post from their phones which often is hard to do and/or spell check makes errors.

    If you guys are referring to the couple of posts by thrasher, I read them as nothing more than humor. He knows fine well English is SVPM's second language. He's one of the most helpful people here. It's the internet - don't take things to heart.

    Now glenneyre, you know he doesn't need to point out errors to feel superior, he just is

    & welcome, DocDan

    Welcome to the forums, most of the people talking about grammatical errors are just sharing their own personal stories.....I dont think anybodies intent was to critique other people unless it was a joke....Although jokes dont always translate past the language barrier so thats understandable. Anyways no worries mate its nice to have you here and dont feel bad if you mess up a little grammar.....morte posted on here for years before he could fluently speak english and that never effected the respect for him or his strategies..

    Hi all, I know what I am about to say is not related to the thread but I was reading this article about Civilization Revolution 2. Apparently, they (Firaxis) calcelled the whole project of it! The artcle was dated April 2011. Are there any new development since? Or is it confirmed? Here is the link: http://www.vg247.com/2011/04/27/fira...ion-ii-canned/ Also: http://www.weplayciv.com/forums/cont...v-2-canceled!/ Hope they change their mind or I would be so sad otherwise..

    No, we don't have anything other than speculation. My thought is they would like to do the project but Civ5 has required a lot more bug fixing and rework than was anticipated and the studio had to focus on making their flagship game playable.

    HI

    Hello
    Finally I'M able to post on 2k thanks to japyaknees who opened account for me- big thank You Jap.. I was so annoyed with 2k because I did create quite few accounts over last two years playing this addictive game under different e-mail addresses and did not received activation message for any of the accounts so obviously I couldn't replay to threads.Aledeus my good ps3 friend tried to help me as well by creating account but -activation failed (anyway tnx for attempt Aledeus).Just wondering if anyone else came across similar problem or is it just mine luck? Anyway weird filing as I kind of know all of you guys and not many know me ...saying that I would like to mention how much I improved my game by reading strategy forum (mainly MorteEterna) or watching Dukebluke1987 video's (and many more helpful threads sorry if not mentioned ) although I'm still average player this forum allowed me to compete with best players and steal a lucky win from time to time .I'm sure ill get some heat from senior members for going off topic but I'm really glad that civ rev is going back to life on Ps3 more people in chat then few months back and we've got some tournaments going PLEASE guys don't let it get ruined by moaning about loosing unbalanced games I'M sure all off us won some really easy games with massive advantage even against top players ?
    Ps. Please forgive me all mistakes I'll make as english is my second language thnx for understanding .
    (first thread ever )

    Regards Mario09

    I think its an easy money maker to make a new civ rev. they dont need to completly redesign it just fix all the bugs and redo the graphics and all thye standard thins that one would change when making a new release to make it credible.

    Pretty much everyone who got civ rev will get the rev II and be reasonably ok with that it isnt a quantum leap - that would be less true of there were other similar games poping up everywhere like first person shooters etc.

    They could even release it as a download sans disc—I would love to not have to deal with that.

    Despite the fact that I've been a forum member for a while I feel like a lurker. I'll try to do better Grizzley. :-) I more take in the knowledge and wisdom but I'll try to join the convo more where appropriate.

    Speaking to Civ Rev 2 I posted recently in the Civ Rev 2 Wishlist thread. After talking to some 2k guys at E3 doesn't seem like well be getting it anytime soon. :-(
