    art budget v. programming (game development) budget

    Throwing money at a department doesn't increase its productivity or efficiency, managerial methods, deadlines, overall structure of the department. SEVERAL things contribute to the better production, money is not the important factor here, if the art department perform at a better rate than the...

    Jon Shafer Details Upcoming Patch

    sounds good, I'd say the diplomacy update will include the ability to see why a civ loves or hates you(like in civ4). AI improvements are always welcome ;)

    Chess Board World 2016-10-05

    Now you can fight a REAL war game complete with your very own chess board world. The world itself is regular size but lacks any real detail, that means no hills, mountains or rivers(in order to keep it flat looking and more like a board). The colours of the board are made up of desert and...

    Uk and Ireland 2016-10-05

    This is a map of Ireland, England, Wales and a very small portion of Scotland. Map size is Huge so you can get a good few civs in it. I tried to keep the map as close to the real thing as possible but this is my first map in Civ 5 so I'm sure I made some mistakes but overall I think I did a...

    Another oversight

    Yea it would help to see the path especially for long journeys when I would like to see if it goes through a city state territory or not.

    Earth map

    I think the earth map is pretty big already but it can't hurt to go bigger :)

    Has the game finally been released for the rest of the world?

    It should have been BST as that was when the countdown was pointing to so either there is a glitch in their servers(possibly the reason its says you can still pre-order it) or someone somehow mixed up the timer and it should have said unlocks at 1 AM however I doubt it.

    Poll; How many versions of Civ 5 will there be by Game Release?

    To be fair, there is going to be different exclusives for each countries major store, well not that many but you get my point(amazon UK might get something else compared to the US version so that racks up the numbers of different versions). While I don't enjoy DLC, I can see why a company would...

    Strategic view allows for extremely huge maps with many AI-s!?

    This isn't how these things work. While you may experience an improvement to your Frames per second, you are not going to receive any CPU boosts. There seems to be this misinterpation that you can use strategic view on older computers and although I don't have a copy of the game to test this...

    If non-Steam topic allowed, new info (Russian interview with Dennis Shirk)

    found this one to be the most interesting You often mention a new system of diplomacy Civilization V. In connection with this - the question. How about the casus belli (casus belli)? The fact is that in Civilization IV sometimes even peace-loving "going on you" for no apparent reason, even if...

    2K/Fraxis dont like poor people

    If your poor then bar the fact you probably wont have a PC to run the game, the game itself will be the least of your worries. Poor people in western countries aren't the target demography the only exception I would place on this is poor countries which companies generally lower the price of...

    UK Election Results 2010

    Lib will work with labour who will also get SNP(who said they would only work with labour however are probably praying for a conservative leader because when conservatives strip Scotland of its resources, independence could come). SDLP also take the labour whip as they have always done, DUP...
