Yes. I've played them all and this is the best.

Wow you people will complain about ANYTHING. :rolleyes: Yay, free stuff for an already excellent game. :goodjob:

Domination victory - Like Spaceship victory - Don't like (like the transporting bits thing, but would be best if it still had the gamble of choosing how many parts). Diplomacy victory - Not decided Culture victory - Like City-states - Like Social Policies - Like (so much now depends on...

Combat, Social policies, Scrapping Religion, Embarkation, Opaque diplomacy, the strategic AI, the change of pace.

Still think that now that some more people have voted? Different doesn't mean dumbed down. Is the combat system dumbed down? I think not! Are social policies simpler than Civics? Nope. Etc..

Yes, it's a great game!

Gah, still no unlock on my cd copy. Might give up for tonight..:cry:

Not me. I live the novelty, and the tactical battles :) But then I can only play 100 turns at a time right now, perhaps it sucks after that?

No. I prefer it. For a start it's not dominiated by religion and you can't just use the visible modifiers to cheat against the AI!

So for those of us outside the US.. Shouldn't the demo be out by now?

This could be key, the AI is designed to make some dumb choices until you ramp up the difficulty this time around, instead of just cheating.

Think they are balancing civs as a whole. The German UA isn't as good as some but it gets Panzers which whip most of the unique units.

Greece get a massive city state bonus? Meaning free units, free resources and a good head start on the Diplo victory? Wouldn't call that crappy

Nope. They can try and take it back. Plus they get a new capitol, but the original captols are the ones you need for victory see: http://well-of-souls.com/civ/civ5_misc.html

The experience of the treb. aside, it was also only effective because Greg had a screen of infantry protecting it and a nice bottleneck to make it easily defensible. If you neglect the defence or the enemy can attack from any angle then your artillery will be gobbled up by cavalry.
