    E3 lot of info about four leaders/factions :)

    Uh, what stereotypes? It's sci-fi. Sci-fi is always breaking norms, that's what it does. Having some unique gender/race combo should not be a stand-in for interesting factions and people.

    Leaders and factions seem very generic; not really taking full-advantage of the sci-fi setting, IMO.

    Is salt OP?

    Salt is powerful, but not OP. The problem comes from it too frequently arriving in bunches on fertile land.

    Civilization V Funny screenshots

    I think they filmed Lord of the Rings here.

    Poll: how much would you change old civs in the next patch?

    Germany: get rid of the Panzer. Replace it with a UB representative of German production or intellectualism. The UA needs to be scrapped and reworked altogether. Japan: scrap the Zero. Replace with UB. There's more to Japan than just war-war-war. IMO, those are the two most pressing ones...

    is it possible to build GL on King?

    I built it turn 67 as Rome on Epic speed. Things that helped: I picked up Mining from a ruin. I used Liberty to spring a worker who chopped away. My capital was surrounded by plains/production type terrain.

    Endgame against Rome superpower [France, Emperor, Turn 249]

    I think a demonic barbarian horde is going to burst out of that mountain blindspot and bring a new age of terror upon the world.

    Thoughts on New Patch Strategies

    I think the AI gets messed up on occasion. Last game Elizabeth went OCC for inexplicable reasons. However, London was huge and she was actually a very relevant power for most of the game. On the other hand, Washington look over the entire other continent by games end. This was not a total swoop...

    POLL: who is the stupidest leader in civ5?

    None of them stand out for being intelligent like Catherine, Hannibal, Yaqob or I believe Mehmet II did in Civ4. The only one who seems to have a definitive personality is Ramses for obnoxiously building every single wonder there is on the higher difficulties.

    POLL: strongest civ in civ5

    Germany and the Ottomans have "ticky tacky" UA's because they're completely unreliable for many reasons. Playing Pangea? Ottoman UA is useless. Playing archipelago? German UA is very likely to be useless. You have to play with Barbs to get any use of it, just as well. But wait, there's more...

    POLL: strongest civ in civ5

    Ottomans and Germans are too ticky-tacky with their UA's and have generally late-ish game UU's. I think Greece is the best simply because they take the least effort to win with, IMO.

    Can't keep up with DLC, annoyed by it.

    Civ4 -- which IMO was more broken than Civ5 upon release -- did not need DLC to spurn two expansions. Civilization is a strong series. It doesn't need DLC to remind itself of this.

    Can't keep up with DLC, annoyed by it.

    If you want to see paid off reviews just look at Empire: Total War. I stopped subscribing to PCGamer because they on numerous occasions could not look more "paid off" and were ridiculously off the mark -- always with "top tier" games. As for DLC... If you bought all the DLC right now, how much...

    Germany needs a buff: my ideas

    Perhaps a war-activated UA? Something like when at war Great People production +50%; or hammer-production +10% etc. The UA needs changing, though. It's either overpowered, letting you steamroll early, or totally useless. Ottomans need a different one as well as they certainly have the most...

    If you could return this game at full price, would you?

    I would take it back instantly, but definitely be anticipating the expansions because Civ5 has a strong foundation, they just screwed everything else up on constructing an actual, enjoyable game.
