Good suggestions, I agree with all 10 of them.

Double post, sorry.

So you want to play on large maps with many civs without compromising and you want turns to take 2 seconds on your obsolete hardware. Sorry, but you can't have the cake and eat it too. Sent from my Nexus 7

The use of Steam or Origin has ZERO impact on the moddability of a game. It's up to the developer and the publisher to decide if modding is allowed and to what degree. Civ 4 is available on Steam and can be modded just like the non-steam version. There are tons of games on Steam that have a...

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will get my feet wet with few vanilla games and then I'll give the mods a try.

I am a long time Civ players (since Civ I), but far from being hardcore player. I usually play it for several weeks at the time and then leave it for months, sometimes more. Last time I played IV BTS was more than a year ago. I enjoyed the Better AI MOD (thank you jdog :goodjob:) and BUG...

Finally the price is right and I can give V a try! Got myself the GoTy + the 2 additional information. :D Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

Has the development of this mod reached the end of the line or are there any updates planned?

All I can say is thank you! In my eyes you are one of the few modders that took retail Civ4 and made it the game it was supposed to be. If it wasn't for your work I would have abandoned it a long time ago. I only tried Civ5 briefly and I agree with you. There is lots of potential there, but...

So has Jdog officially stopped working on BBAI?

First of all, can you name any open source game that can be comparable to any AAA title of the same genre? Saying open source gaming is catching up is like saying "this is the year of Linux on the desktop" which has become a known joke even within the linux community. In the perfect world...

I love how you guys seem to know the reason behind every decision, good or bad, that people at Firaxis and 2K make an then try to sell your opinion as a indisputable fact.:dubious:

In the past week or so the Steam servers have been pretty busy because of the increased traffic generated by the massive summer sale (it ends tomorrow). I had to try multiple times during the day to get my downloads going, but after that it was fine.

Downloads from Steam won't interfere with you playing Civ5 or any other single player game for that matter. I was downloading 4 different games from Steam yesterday while playing another Steam game without problems. For your download speed issue, I can only suggest to try different Steam...

I see it and am able to put it in my cart. I just did a search in Steam for Civ V, then on the page I have the option to buy either the regular version or the deluxe version.
