    Civ 5 criticism – looking beyond the detail

    Well, most objections center around it not actually being Civ 5 but more like Civ Society. Essentially not a successor but some sort of dream sequence that you are hoping actually didn't happen. The question is, is bringing back the "depth" possible through modding or does it require an...

    Info on Upcoming Patches from Jon Shafer

    I've unfortunately already had to do that. I'm unable to finish any of the games I've started due to them randomly blowing up with errors. I've very disappointing to hear that the fixes are coming in "a few weeks" and then "later this year".

    90-120 second turns on Core 2 Quad 2.66 GHz

    Just as an FYI, I have nearly the same system as you do with the exception of an Nvidia GTX 285 in my case. I run the game full screen 1680 x 1050 everything turned up with Huge maps and 4 AI with nearly no slowdown at all. Maybe some incapatibility with your graphics card?

    Tone down the barbarians?

    Interesting. I made the changes as mentioned in my post and definitely noticed a difference in spawn rates and distances. I even did this on a running game (saved it, exited, made the changes, reloaded it).

    Tone down the barbarians?

    If you are into editing XML files go here (or wherever you installed the game): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay\XML\GameInfo And edit CIV5GameSpeeds.xml I changed the <BarbPercent> from 100 to 75 for a Standard game and they don't...

    An Evaluation: Why CIV 5 is an absolute atrocity.

    One man's "fresh and thoughtful update" is another's "hack and slash" of what's been accepted as the norm for the genera. I don't have a problem adapting, I have an issue with companies deciding that an established game series needs to be "reimagined". Fine, just "reimagine" a different title...

    Do rivers provide trade routes?

    I know that's who (modders) I'm counting on to fix it.

    An Evaluation: Why CIV 5 is an absolute atrocity.

    Yep, that's what I thought when they announced delaying it. Unfortunately that means that they KNEW what the fan opinion was going to be and made the changes anyway. Just like the guys from Stargate insulting their long time fans by telling them that Stargate Universe is "not your father's...

    Old timers: did the release of Civ 4 bring such rage?

    Yes, Civ4 launch was pretty bad along with all of the programming issues. Personally, I'm counting on Mod designers to make the desired changes to the look/feel that most here are complaining about.

    Have DVD... but it's downloading game from Steam anyway

    I'm showing several setup files on my disk two of which are 1.4 Gigs each in size. The big ones end in .sid. Edited to add - I just have the regular game, not the Deluxe version. Is it possible it's downloading a patch?

    Just cancelled my preorder of Civilization 5

    I'm not sure the responses are so much mocking as they are incredulous that this would be something that the OP would be offended by. Maybe if Fraxis put the Persian warriors in dresses, then, maybe, that would be offensive. Honestly he seems to be trolling more than anything.
