Thanks for all your replies! I will give it a shot. After all, I have played all Civ games since the original. :D

Hi! I was really excited by BE and I would have bought it at launch if my PC hadn't been at the store for a hardware update. I am reading a lot of negative impressions and I was taken back by gamespot's low score (7/10). :eek: Should I sit this one out until it is fixed (by dlc, I suppose)...

You're obviously right. My issue in fact is more related to time than money. I have very little time to spend with games and I really want to avoid losing tens of hours just to discover that I should have continued to play Civ4. Agreed, I will need to take a risk in a direction or in another...

I'm sorry, but for some reason I did not find other posts answering my question. The "rant thread" is of no use, since it is just for ranting. I know very well what problems this game has. I am asking if it is worth my time and resources despite those issue. Another factor is time: I need an...

Hi! I have played all CIV games since the very first one but I have yet to buy Civ5. Initially it was because I did not have a good enough computer. Two days ago I filled that gap and bought a powerful gaming PC. However, I have been reading a lot about the bad AI and diplomacy in CIV5, so I...

Fine tuning ;)

Possibly. I hope, however, that Firaxis has paid a lot of attention to the tactical AI and its defending skills during the development of the game. The issue is too complex and too important for the gameplay to be handled in a last minute patch. Without a very competent AI the game risk to...

One of the best things in Civ5 will probably be the way combat is handled. Without the possibility to stack we will probably see many more battles outside the cities. The player will need to use the territory efficiently to defend his cities. However, a question is nagging me the last few...

My main reason to buy Civ5 is the way the military is handled. The impossibility to stack troops (especially in cities) is a very welcome feature. I think that the battles will be much more tactical, more epic and, even more important, they will take place away from the cities. The player will...

Will the game support the 1680x1050 resolution?

Do the animations depend on the CPU or the GPU?

The i7 model, at least in Sweden, is way too expensive :(

The problem is that the Mobility HD 5650 appears to be much weaker than the HD 5850, especially if the 5850 is equipped with DDR5. See for instance http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/vi...Radeon+HD+5650 Now, if a i5 430 will mean more time for the AI to think its moves I am ok with that (as...

I posted the following in another thread by mistake, not noticing the sticky. Sorry for that. Please help! I am buying a laptop for this game and I'm having a very hard time choosing. My options are 1) Asus Aspire with i7 720QM CPU, 4g DDR3 and HD 5650 GPU (with 1 gb DDR3) or 2)...

I am buying a laptop for this game and I'm having a very hard time choosing. My options are 1) Asus Aspire with i7 720QM CPU, 4g DDR3 and HD 5650 GPU (with 1 gb DDR3) or 2) MSI GX640 with i5 430, 4g DDR3 and HD 5850 (with 1 gb DDR5) As you can see the first laptop has a quad core processor...
