I guess they didn't add an alarm to it so that players could be reminded to stop playing. lol at the clock in Civ4.

Just so you know what time it really is without having to lookup/alttab. What an addictive series of games. “Just one more turn” That’s why they added a clock in Civ4.

It may as well be "Just one more hit on the crack pipe" though. Amazing how one turn follows another until it's 4am... It's true that it was actually good research for me as it's made me think about some interesting strategy ideas that I may implement in my next game... Re: “Just one more turn” Man that is so true!

The whole Civilization series is classic. Some of my fondest game memories are of playing Sid's Alpha Centauri branch off. One of my favorite things about the TBS genre is that you can actually negotiate with the AI (assuming it's designed well). Until Rise of Nations came out RTS games didn't really have that. Even with all of the hybrid games of today, staples like Civ still set an example for depth and replay value. As far as being too busy to play, you can always tell yourself you're doing "research". That also makes buying the game a tax write off I think. :-D “Just one more turn.”
