Some people mention problems with diplomacy.... but seriously, is there any game where AI diplomacy works properly?? I have yet to see it! But having said that, i did find the AI's confetti like use of denouncing rather absurd, that and the way an AI denouncement of the player occurring so fast...

Hardly. But i am a tiny bit 'over vigilant' only this afternoon because I'm at work, in front of the computer, and need some distraction. Don't tell me how long Civ v has been out, Steam still charging $69.99 Australian for it, if i have to pay that price then i should get to have my say!

I don't think i have ever started playing a game where there weren't things that frustrated/annoyed me, that's normal, but also what is normal, is that despite the frustrations there is usually also 'hunger' to keep playing. Civ 5 is the first civilization game where i lost the 'hunger' to...

based on what i wrote, couldn't even begin to understand where that comment comes from? Try reading what i actually wrote instead of leaping to ridiculous conclusions. If you really need me to hand hold you on what i meant,,,, i meant i am giving a truthful opinion of what 'i' really do think...

I don't quite understand why i cannot make a truthful comment on my experience with the game, without all these attacks (with regard to posting, not the opinion itself)? Since when did this forum turn into some kind of 'smile or shut up' thing? Bizzare? And it's not like i go around making...

Do i really need to explain that 'ear blocker' is not 'name calling' ... it is an action, such as running around saying how much you would like to stop people having an opinion? (in terms of what rug you would like them to sweep it under on the forum)

What i think; Civ 5 brings back bombardment from civ3, but with city bombardment, brilliant! tile unit limit was strategically interesting to me for a while but in the end just becomes too much of a chore - heavily dislike. They should grade tile unit limit with map size, the smallest maps...

I have a dream - Take the best from Call to Power, Alpha Centauri, Civ series, mix and serve!

Too all you 'ear blockers' who don't want to hear it, to bad, I have been a member of this site since 2006 ( albeit infrequent) and have always been a big fan of the civ games, i think that entitles me to have my say here. I have given the game a good run, it is the first Civ game that i have...

Ok, played a good go on epic for several weeks and then just gave up, don't think i will be playing it again. I think mostly the unit tile limit although strategically interesting at first, it slowly chipped away at my patience, as time goes by, then at the point in the game where i was ready...

Sounds great, whats the catch, if any?

If the Australian government did something to show it understands competition, then either it was by accident or the individual responsible was tracked down and burnt at the stake!

Do you mean a digital download? Because Steam totally own the distribution rights for digital download of Civ v. I have tried buying it on other download sites and they all lead back to Steam..... hmmm actually now that i think of it, this totally answers my question! Exclusivity is the...

Well personally i have never noticed any problem with buying games over the counter in Australia. The reason is that i always wait for the game to get a bit older and the prices always fall quite dramatically. Right now i can buy Civ v in EB games for $38 dollars, link...

Thanks for the article, but it doesn't appear to apply to Steam? Besides, i have seen Civ v on disk at the shop in Australia for less than AUD $20.00, but i don't want the game on disk, i hate disks.

Since discovering digital downloads, i cannot stand disks. I find that since i have a wider collection of digital download games on my computer, whenever i am deciding what game to play, it is so much easier to just click on the digital download game than to fart ass around with a disk...

On the same link? That makes me sick! All the prices it shows me on that link in USD in order from top to bottom are as follows; $69.99 $89.99 $20.00 $49.99 $5.99 $2.99 $9.99

I have seen some specials, but never allowed in my region (Australia). Here is a link to the current price Steam is showing me; http://store.steampowered.com/app/8930/?snr=1_7_15__13

Every so often over the years, i dust off my Steam account and check the price of Civ V.... Now, 3 years after its release, they still want USD $69.99 for the original game???? 3 years in computer time.... that would be like saying a 1989 ford laser is worth USD $10,000 !!! When will civ...

Thanks for the excellent detailed post! My position is that i don't like Steam being forced into the game because it is giving Steam a significant degree of power. But my concern about this springs from what may happen or is likely to happen in the future, not what it is today. I believe in...
