Not difficult to guess, I beleive :). Do you happen to know the city as well?
I have been living & working there for the last 2 years. But 3 months ago I moved back to Warsaw :) .
It seems that we have a strong presence in Central Europe ^__^ (*cought* Kornel *cough*).
finished that game with a cultural win, heavily inclined to remove Civ3 off my system. It appears it's "same old same old" Civ2 with some nice added features, with the gameplay not getting altered. Mass anything that attacks and defends, smite-smite-smite, win.
Apparently, Civ 3 is regarded as one of the worst versions. At some point the ranking was: 4 > 2 > 3 > 1 when it comes to "gameplay experience".
Then we got 5th Civ ...and the Civ 4 remains as the best one, still :P .
