Civ 5

[Jackalope]

So I've successfully downloaded the game (game of the year edition) from piratebay (as I usually do), the game came up fine and is running perfectly. Two questions:

1 - Can you give any beginner tips? Just the basic

2 - Is there a campaign mode?

There is no campaign mode - but there are an enormous number of unique scenarios you can set up even without mods.

It's a very complicated game, there's any number of ways to achieve victory, and how you play it will depend on which victory condition you want to achieve.

Basics: don't build more than four cities or you'll have trouble keeping your civ happy (later you can learn how). If you capture a city that has no strategic value, raze it, otherwise make it a puppet or annex it. Number of cities and high population leads to unhappiness. You need to balance economy, science, happiness, and culture - and faith if you go that route. Don't fall behind in technology. Try to control strategic resources, by owning the land they're on, or through alliances or trade.
