I am down for some Civ multiplayer.  I think my computer that had it has crapped out though, would have to check on that. 4 was the most recent, no?  5 is supposed to be coming soon

5 is out. There is already an expansion for 5 that adds a bunch of stuff.

I used to LOVE Age of Empires...

Until someone showed me the light and I fell in love with Civilization.

Would you advise against downloading the game versus going to the store and buying the CD?  Also, odds on it working on a decent laptop?

I would recommend signing up for a STEAM account and buying the game through there. http://www.steampowered.com

It should work I think, its graphic options scale pretty well.

Then I do have V.  Pete and I will play and both be against you.  It will not work and you will win, but will make the game last longer
