Humble Civilization Bundle?

I don't even know. Well, if you have any friends who didn't play Civ 3, 4 or 5, let them know. It's pretty cheap.

Really cool bundle, great chance to snag brave new world for $15 (steam price is $30)

Enrico Swagolo · Feb 4, 2014

Actually, BNW was cheaper already - IIRC it was like 6 or 7$ on the last sale (at least on GMG) and this bundle wants you to pay around 10$ for it.

But the deal is awesome. The problem though is pretty much everyone and their mother has Civ 5 (constant top 10 in most played games at Steam), which may make below average bundle too attractive. I'm going to buy the above average bundle despite having Civ 5 with all DLC (okay, not the scrambled ones) already.

BNW was that cheap? I missed that somehow. I don't have it yet.

Well, the title says it all.
Firaxis games (civ3, Civ4, Railroads, Ace Patrol) in different tiers, but $15 for it all (don't know about the DLC).

I assume that if I buy this, I'll be able to Steam gift part of it to a friend?

Just checked, yeah you can. You need to get a gift URL from humble bundle, but it seems easy enough

Camikaze · Feb 4, 2014

I just looked it up and it seems I can't. :hmm:

I want to gift the Civ5 bits to a friend, but keep the rest for myself (I don't have Civ4 on Steam, and my disc is on the other side of the world). I might just gift my friend the whole bundle.

It depends on the bundle if you can gift the bundle, sets of games or individual games.
I'm not sure what the situation is with this bundle.
(Firaxis already has all my money there. "Hey, Firaxis, do you want to earn more money? New DLC or expansion!"

)

That's odd, because this article says you can. Maybe the one you found was saying that if you redeem it to your account you can't then gift it on, but have to do it through the humble bundle site?

Camikaze · Feb 4, 2014

Perhaps. Either way, I decided to gift the whole bundle. Given it's essentially $1 extra to do that.

I'm wondering if Railroads (the last game in the right) would even run on Windows 7? A lot of old games won't.

civvver · Feb 4, 2014

It's a steam game so I would think it does. There's no official disclaimer. From a comment on the steam page:

"There is an issue running this game on 64 bit operating systems where the game will crash with an exception error, but this can be easily fixed by applying a 3 GB memory patch which is very well documented on fan sites which exist for the game (use Google)"

As far as gifting, it depends on the package. Some are one code to redeem all games, others are split into a code per game. If it's a code per game you press a button to get a gift link, then send the url to a friend. I think the developer just decides whether to package or not.

anandus · Feb 5, 2014

Can confirm: It are seperate gift urls for the games.

Also, I've played Railroads on Windows 7 before, so it shouldn't be a problem. But it is showing it's age.
