Abe Lincoln of Minas Tirith.

Uh oh...At E3, Firaxis starts talking up Civilization 4, offering both screenshots and a preview to the IGN gang. The game's a complete redesign from the ground up, including new culture, religion, tech-tree, government, and battling systems (and you don't have to sit through the AI's unit moves anymore.) If this game is even half the gamer-crack that any of the previous Civs are, my productivity around here is going to be in deep, deep trouble come 4Q 2005.
