What we think we know: 1) Every Civ and City State each get 1 vote; 2) Typical map set up has 2 City States for every Civ (such as 12 civs, 24 City States as seen in one screen shot); 3) You need at least 40% of the votes to win and you have to get the most votes; 4) The UN is available with...

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere, so here is the preview by AJ over at Australian Gamer. Some reassurances for those with doubts: Also, a comment the author made in the comments below the article, relating to the playability of small empires: And, Firaxis continues to update the press preview...

Head on over to WePlayCiv and check out the summary of the talk. A lot of information on the how they made Civ V scalable from low-end systems to high end systems. including this: "These measures combined allow Civ5 to, on a high-end system, animate up to 10,000(!) individual units on the...

The last sentence from GameKudos: :eek: discuss.

awesome news!

the link. Thanks to Locutus for the transcript of the podcast over at we play civ. Interesting bits (to me): 1) Confirmation of Great People arising from specialists. No random result though - will we get to choose? :) 2) Jon discusses the rational behavior diplomacy system.

Playing for a Culture win as Louis XIV (won in 1970 - pre-patch). Around 1965 or so I managed to flip the Egyptian capital of Thebes (yay!). I was so close to winning, I didn't really pay any attention to it until a couple of turns later. When I went in to look at the city to see what it had...

I know Civ3 Gold has PTW already bundled, installed and it says that it is version 1.27f. Do I need to install the 'vanilla' civ3 1.29f patch? (I am in the US, if that matters) Thanks in advance, Harry
