I'm a long time lurker who just wants to say that I loved reading every chapter. Please keep it up Choxorn! :)

Looks really good so far! I hope you continue this.

I agree, they should bring back those exploration promotions for caravels.

I just bought a copy off GMG as well, and was able to find the key listed under the "My Keys" tab on my account page on GMG. I went and activated it on steam, but G&K isn't listed on my games list, and it's not available for download until the 19th. Edit: Nevermind, steam has G&K listed under...

I have to admit that even though I liked all three, Civ 3 and Civ 5 were the ones that I ended up playing the most. There should be a poll for this topic!

I think the DLC Civs and map scripts are only worth it when on sale. I don't think the preset maps are worth it at all.

Does anyone know how long the steam sale will last?

The Civ V theme/UI/look is much prettier than that of any previous iteration, but the UI still needs to be polished a bit more. It needs to display information in a more intuitive and clear way than it does now, especially when it comes to diplomacy information.

While I do lament the under representation of the diversity of the world's cultures in CiV, I can hardly blame the developers. This game is mainly being marketed to a Western audience, so the developers have to make a product that appeals to them which includes adding Civs that they are...

This is unexpected! Even though a lot of people were suggesting that the ninth civ was gonna be Sweden, I was sure it was gonna be Zulu... Oh well, Sweden would be a good addition to the series!

Yes, the ninth Civ will finally be revealed! I'm honestly surprised that they're revealing so soon...

I really really hope that they make the diplomacy UI more clear and practical! For instance, AI attitude and reasons for that should be displayed on the same panel as the resources they have to offer and the resources that they want from you. Instead of a list of words detailing each AI's...
