Civilization V

Civilization V
Anyone playing this game at the moment? It's recently been chewing up mass amounts of my free time. I failed in my first attempt as a free thinking Arab republic (Go figure, right?). Now, I'm working on making Mother Russia an aristocratic world power. Might have more luck there. lol.

"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"

I can't wait to get it & play it, but at the same time I dread the upcoming lost of sleep & social life.

I've recently rediscovered my love for Master of Magic. Also I can play it at work & no one is the wiser. Big Grin

I have it! I like it so far. (Although I miss 4, it is a great upgrade.)

They were talking about something that only monkeys enjoy... I assure you: it's nothing to worry about Smile

I bought Civ V recently, and it's sitting in a sack of unopened games, that will remain such until i decide to get a windows computer Smile
Oh... Have they gotten rid of the stupid diceroll combat system yet?

I played Civ IV back in the day, and I consider Civ V to be much easier to play than Civ IV. Also the change from squares to Hex is just excellent, it has been a long time coming. I like pretty much every gameplay mechanic (I miss religion) And I've been experimenting with all different civs. I tried to win a cultural victory as the Mongols, but Harun Al-Rashid decided he needed my land more than I did.

RE: Civilization V
I stumbled upon a pretty scathing, in depth critique of Civ V while reading the Elemental forums.

What went wrong?
