I've just played an online game (small map, 7 civs).
Fun game, until someone starts gaining an advantage. Then everyone just quits (except me and the score leader). Really annoying.
It was actually a pretty nice game. Then the guy who had the advantage also quits...
Why start a game when you don't want to finish it (after maybe an hour of play)...
Well, I guess this experience should teach me not to play online civ against people I don't know.
OK, thanks for listening to my silly frustrations.
I really did like the speed of the game though. Much faster in seeing your plans develop than pitboss.
