    Who is planning to remove 1UPT with the new Mod?

    The problem is not with 1UPT, but rather that the AI doesn't know how to use it. The AI needs fixed, not the concept of 1UPT - which is fine, and better than stacks.

    Civ 5 for $20 /29.99€, civ 4 $7.50

    I hope you're joking. Steam commonly sells popular games for huge discounts on weekends and other times of the year. Bad Company 2, which sold millions of copies, went for $20 just months after release during a week-long sale. Heck, I got Mass Effect + Mass Effect 2 in a bundle for $30.

    Nothing Wrong With Civ 4 Vanilla

    Go pull up old user reviews or dig through old forum posts. You'll see the same typical "Civ 4 isn't worthy of the Civilization title", "Civ 4 sucks, I'm going back to Civ 3", "Civ 4 was rushed out & is garbage", "Civ veterans hate Civ 4, it's so dumbed down", etc. Not as bad as it is...

    Looking to buy this laptop for Civ 5...

    You realize that an i5 has 4 threads, right?

    There's an option in your settings to restrict the mouse to the game window.

    Very, very slow turns

    Well, tuns out that I have a lot of slowdown in single player as well in-between turns. It's not as bad as multiplayer...but damn, it gets annoying when I'm waiting more than I'm actually playing.

    Very, very slow turns

    My friend & I recently purchased Civ 5 with the sole purpose of playing online, and the game is virtually unplayable. The game runs quite well initially...but as the game progresses, turns begin to take 2-3+ minutes. We have yet to make it past turn 200 or so before we give up. Our PC specs...

    Civilization 5 Rants Thread

    My only rants about the game: - I love 1UPT. Units are finally valuable. Positioning finally matters. However, the AI has absolutely no idea what it's doing. In the previous games, it was viable for the AI to send blobs around the map. Now that combat has a strategic focus, the AI is...

    Upgrading PC - Help Required

    Looks very nice - I hope the SSD isn't your only hard-drive though.

    Is it really that bad?

    Selling it Steam exclusive? You do realize that you can buy the game from Direct2Drive, Gamestop, Walmart, NewEgg, Impulse, Target, etc? It just requires Steam to run. Just like Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead. Heck, if I play Bad Company 2, I need punkbuster and a login to EA servers...

    Steam - love or hate?

    Basically, you're paranoid. You're on of those people that refuses to enter your CC info on a website because they can steal it aren't you? You can make a point without getting personal and calling someone paranoid. You're arguing a losing point. Steam sales account for a tremendous number...

    Steam - love or hate?

    Good point! I'll contact Blizzard too in regards to how I can continue to play WoW after Blizzard goes out of business! I mean I paid $60 for the game, $40 for each expansion, and $15/month for the past few years...I'm entitled to play it forever, right?? /sarcasm

    Is it really that bad?

    The fact that the majority of PC games are now being sold on Steam speaks differently. I can't even fathom the paranoia surrounding Steam. It's a platform. It can be run online or offline, it's very lightweight, and it has no effect on your PC performance. Claiming that "well they can...

    Is it really that bad?

    Thanks - and I'm amazed that people don't remember this. I recall it so well because I had a few friends who wouldn't even buy the game due to how much negativity was going around. I still recall a huge thread at other forums about how Civ 4 was going to be the end of the series because of how...
