Prince is still the flat difficulty correct? Everything above it just gets bonuses but no additional cycles or AI algorithms? Just wanted to double check this. And I would always play at least one game at this level to get a baseline on the AI.

This thread is pointless unless anyone here is dumb enough to go and buy DLC or expansions for a game they hate. They got me for the initial purchase and maybe some far off day in the future ill pick up civ 5 complete with 2 expansions for $5-10 off a steam sale. But there's no chance I'll spend...

As long as gamers remain a fractured individualized community then pretty much it will never change. In business software you make a mistake that breaks a term in a contract, like failing to deliver certain functionality by a certain date you either get sued or put every available resource on...

Thats the point. ICS(what this thread is al about) was something that was wrong with the game up until 4 and they finally fixed it. They did that and had all those little immersive touches I listed above as well. What designer would trash all of those things in a new design, even the little...

Say what you want but ... 1) lack of a serious voice icon , should have gotten Patrick Stuart after Nimoy probably 2) Lack of wonder movies 3) Lack of victory movies 4) lack of end game replay 5) lack of tile animation 6) lack of full zoom out with globe spinning (which while not useful...

Terrain(namely fresh water and food needs, fertilizer should allow you to farm hills away from fresh water but it doesn't) and city purpose matter more in planning than filling all available space. But within those confines building more cities is > than less if your going for anything other...

Explain to me exactly how even modern diplomatic arrangements don't fall along religious lines. This has to be the worst argument against religion and its not just a few people its the civ 5 main deisgners as well. Religion isn't everything in diplomacy and maybe those numbers should be...

Im more confused by the game than think its bad or needed to be civ 4.5. But there are quite a few things that are missing without any plausable reason if the game was shipped "whole". Namely end game replays. The "End Game" information is horrible compared to even Civ I and its always been one...

To the OP. go look up the word hegemony.

Ideology isn't game design. When I heard the designer say paraphrased "you shouldn't see number's in a diplomatic situation thats just not realistic", I knew what was up. The game is in alot of ways gutted of 20 years of innovation and if not for the hexes, 1UPT, reduced road spam, special units...

Is the full zoom out global perspective gone? In the video at giant bombcast it looked like the max zoom out was reduced as well as and wrapping of the map around a globe. This would be the first real casualty of the 4 to 5 transition.

Pretty much how I felt as well. Try my script out its just a mod of Big and Small, Main feature is it allows you to change the Islands into Continents and gives some pretty cool results http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=239203&highlight=Continents+Islands

Thanks for the testing Popov!

Thanks again! And if I did add it it would definetly be optional.
