    155 things you didn't know until Civ5 taught you

    Woah... I see the topic, expects a humour tread. Came in.. see a humour attempt by the OP. And by post #2, we have super defensive people attacking the tread. What's wrong here?

    The Final Analysis?

    Quoted to show agreement. If I wanted a war game, I get a war game. CIV begins with the tagline to build an empire to stand the test of time. Bolded the point to it all. By insisting on the 1UPT environment, the game is unconsciously shifted to a military game with the builder game as an...

    New to Civ. I love Civ V!

    Civ and starcraft are very different games. I don't think you can compare them at all. But then I felt SC2 > SC1 while ciV < cIV.

    The Final Analysis?

    Which is unfortunate. Because the reality of our modern society is that professionals are paid... handsomely... by... Give a man a million dollars to call a white cat black. Most men will yield.

    The Final Analysis?

    Read Sulla's article... Skipped the rest of the arguement. I agree with pretty much Sulla's assessment. Having followed the news of CiV since announcement, I rushed to get it on the first day. MONTHS later.. I completed a total of ONE game. *And I used to play CIV 4 at the rate of one game...

    this game is boring

    I just forced myself to finish my first game on Civ5. And I got the game on the first day it was released. For someone who used to complete 1 standard game per day or 1 marathon game per 2 days for Civ4, that says a lot about Civ5. I just cannot bear to continue... Just.. One.. more.. Turn...

    game cannot start after 1 week.

    Thanks for the advice. Reinstallation doesn't work. I am now doing a clean delete and reinstall. Hopefully it works. *fingers crossed*

    game cannot start after 1 week.

    Had been playing Civ 5 properly since day 1. But after a week from the game, I tried to play again. Steam appears and says "Completing Installation...1%" And it stayed at 1% for insane amout of time before timing out. :sad: Anyone had the same problem and solution?? Thanks for the help.

    Should the U.S adopt the Metric system completely and why?

    Celsius 0 - 100 (Based on water, the largest component of our natural world) Fahrenheit 0 - 100 (Based on human comfort level) Clearly the Fahrenheit is "better" and caters for the egocentric among the human species who believe the world revolves around them. :p

    The worlds two largest EVER empires not in game??

    I read somewhere that one reason why China was united at times im history but not Europe is because of terrain. Rivers and plains made transport and interactions between states more common in the east. But I am of the opinion that the differences between the cultures of 2 nations in Europe is...

    The worlds two largest EVER empires not in game??

    Seen the size of Europe? If it were up to me, the whole of Europe would classify as a single civilization called Europeans. The quarrels between the nations would liken to internal civil unrest. Much like how the Han, Shang, Yan, Wei, Wu, Qi, Qin, etc. of China were thought of as different...
