You can play Sid Meier's Civilization Open Beta here. Personally I've been fine with connecting, although I've noticed many people still do have issues. I'd only say there's lag spikes here and there causing the game to be a bit annoying. The game is definitely different from most applications on Facebook which require you to invite all your friends repeatedly in order to succeed in the game or well get anywhere. In this game you're able to play with friends or without regardless. The game is definitely fun if you know how to play with certain strategies here and there. The community isn't always talking, but here and there you'll notice people do work together or help each other in the few ways possible. I'm feeling as if this game is going to become something I can only have short sittings of and then come back hours later to check on my resources. While yes it is nice to grab a few bonus bits of resources from the bubbles, how much time can you really spend doing that. The mini-games are entertaining, but you run out of moves quick for the first two if you stay on the game for a long period. The Caravan game is nice as it is every 10 minutes or so and gives you something to do. Also, of course a micro currency would be needed as it is an App and companies need a way of making money which I understand. Although, if you whip out some money and use CivBucks, I'm sure you'll also conveniently be sitting in the number 1 rank. The way civilizations work as a whole are pretty cool definitely. But in every game, there's going to the strongest and then all the other weaker ones. There are some bugs and glitches here and there, but it is a beta after all.
