Thanks. Load times between turns are annoying.

Does anybody know if you can turn on the animations(combat and walking) in Multi-player?

Thanks. Works for me, though I have a black screen while it is loading.

;) I watch it when babysitting my nephew. It is alot better than the 1980s GI-JOE movie he likes.

This is the first dismissal of city-states that I have seen in a review. Most reviews find it an interesting new feature. It does not seem like he appreciates strategy games for their gameplay, but rather their quirky nature. He lavishes praise on playing civ counter to their history (a...

I dont know where, but I have seen this same setup with this marketing director before. The video itself is not a replay, but all these actions follow the same line. Same civs, same era, same reasons to attack. This must be the marketing save game.

I think I will be the French. I also want to explore the new social policies, and I studied European History. Second game: Aztecs.

I think you are the first one to post. Another good review for civ 5.

I am going to try to change their names to indicate their specialty.
