Honestly, I can't think of anything positive about it. This appears to be the worst Civilization release ever. They could have done something like take Civ4 BTS, reworked it for hexes, and given it a massive graphical update (along the lines of the more realistic art style of Civ5, but newer...

1.) Allow early (pre-ocean going) naval units to enter ocean tiles, with a high risk (~80%) of being lost at sea if they cant find another coastal tile in time, and end their turn on the open ocean, just like in Civ1. It's a fun way to discover nearby land early in the game, with a little bit...

Hey all, I run the DX11 version of Civ 5 and need to set a manual resolution. I read that I can edit GraphicsSettingsDX11.ini's following two lines to accomplish this: WindowResX = X WindowResY = Y My setup is a somewhat unusual one I am trying to take advantage of in Windowed mode. I have...
