I haven't been paying attention for a long time; what is up with Civ 5 these days?

Donut9 · Sep 3, 2012

After it first came out, I decided it wasn't for me - yes, without playing it. I am not flaming, or saying it is a bad game, I just didn't think the particular direction they took was for me, personally.

Anyway, I am curious about it now. There must have been expansions, yes? Was more depth added to the game? What do you guys think of it? I need a new time killer.

Yep - Gods and Kings came out. Many patches have came out. Nowadays its a much different scene than when Civ 5 first came out. There are now a significant amount of people who actually thoroughly enjoy Civ 5 more than Civ 4. In the multiplayer community at least - CivPlayers has been drastically reduced and the Civ 4 multi community has mostly dried up. Compare that to bustling [but still buggy] Civ multiplayer even despite players being split into regional lobbies - things are much different

Sounds promising. Do we know if there are plans for more expansion?

Doubtful.

As for the expansion, G&K did a lot of changes to the vanilla game. It almost feels like an entirely different beast of a game. Revised battle mechanics, improved AI/diplomacy, stronger cities, different policies, map varieties, more city state quests, in addition to more civs, wonders, new systems in the form of religion and espionage, and tech order.

You might want to try the Demo for Civ5: Gods & Kings.

Doing my 3 month check-in. Has the DLL source code been released yet?
