Under the game options (<ESC>->Options), the last tab allows you to set a time limit in hours and minutes on how long you want to play. When the alarm goes off, you know it is time for bed/work. This is by far the best feature of civ 4 - no more looking up at the clock and going "4am, wth?"

This is the 3D engine that civ4 uses. Neat for those of us who like that kind of thing:

Civ 4 is really good. A lot of good changes. I'm still learning all the changes. We will have to setup a MP game sometime.

I have dibs on Q's free time when he gets back to gaming. I think I'm already pencilled in for DS2 time.

If I have to. By then maybe DNF will be out and we can play that.

I'm not holding* my breath.

It'll be out before you can spell Snuffleupagus without cheating!

Well, we already missed the "It'll come out before George Takai does..." deadline, so I'm not hopeful about making the Snuffleupagus deadline.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :jester:
