Thinking about it most of my games come from G2A these days. Just so much cheaper than getting them even from steam. Just checked and one expansion was 8 euros and the other 6. So that's a little over £10 I think.

Quick note: When founding a religion in Civ, I always make it named "A Firm Gential Rubbing" or "A Seductive Jesus Striptease" or something, because then whenever city-states ask for my religion, I get a notification screaming "Vatican City wants A Firm Genital Rubbing!" or "Tyre wants A Seductive Jesus Striptease!"

How does it work? It has steam keys for nearly quarter the price of what they are on steam??

- Some games are priced differently in other countries so people buy a game in somewhere like Russia where games are about 1/2 the price or less and sell it to a CD key company like G2A.
- When a sale happens people buy up a lot of the game on sale to resell later at a small profit.
I was dubious of it at first. I've used them quite a lot since and never had an issue. You pay, it gets verified and you have your key within 5 mins. They have their own sales from time to time that are insane. New games for like £2-5.

Well if I get round to buying the dlc for Civ 5 it will likely be from g2a then. Wish I'd of known about it because I spent a stupid tenner on just a couple of extra civs rather than the actual expansions.

I remember running into an issue with Rome, where I had a small to medium standing army, but a lot of production. So some civ thinks I'm weak, and attacks, but I quickly double my troops in 5-10 turns while my initial forces repel the initial assault.
I don't want to maintain a large army all the time, but if I don't the other civs think I'm weaker than I really am. Of course there's also the chance that I have a small army, but easily defended boundary, so they misinterpret that as me being easy pickings.

Gonna try a Portugal game. Seems like they can gain comparable gold to venice while still being able to settle new cities.
