Don't you? CiV vanilla is also 8 GB.

 When you think about it, they have surely been busy with this XP.

Some of that 8GB is for the install and some of it will be required as swap-space. An OS drive, whether it's Win, Mac or Linux should always have a healthy portion of free space available at all times.

Just so you know, I compared the min and recommended system req. for both base and Gak, and they are pretty much the same.
Even so, my Civ 5 is 5.03 GB.

It'[s neither, it isn't the size of the game, like I said, my game is actually 5.03 GB, yet it still says 8 GB of free space.

This is 2012, are you guys living under a rock? 8gb is nothing. Hell, I own very few steam games and my steamapps folder is up to 75gb.
It may be time to upgrade there, bud. |

8 gigs is implausible. There is less "stuff" than the original game. It strikes me as either a "better safe than sorry" (including things like game saves) or it's the original game plus the expansion pack.

For the sake of keeping the performances of your PC all right, you should always keep 20Go of free space on your main partition.
