"Civilization V soll einen umfangreichen Editor mitbringen,
mit denen Anwender das Spiel und seine Regeln nach Belieben abändern können."

First paragraph translated with google translator:

"On the outskirts of the Game Developers Conferenceto be held until March 13 in San Francisco, have Take 2 Interactive and Firaxis Games, the first time their new 5th Version of the classic Civilization strategy presented. Unlike his predecessors part 5 is not Legend of designer Sid Meier will be developed, but by Jon Shafer, originally from the user-Mod scene five years ago and is joined Firaxis. His close connection to the amateur developer scene it also flows into the game design. Civilization V, will bring a versatile editor that allow users to alter the game and its rules at will. Did players currently looking after such modifications on specific Civilization fan sites, so you can choose them directly in Part five in the game menu and download."

That sounds good... I allways liked to make maps and mods in Civ 3... but with Civ 4 it was too hard...

but with such freedom isn't there the risk that users could unbalance the game for themselves? That's one of the principle reasons I don't like many of the mods that I've tried. They all destroy the game balance.

Everyone is free to change the game for her or himself, so i don't see a problem with this.
Freedom will just create a higher chance of good mods.

If the google translation is correct, I can only say it is the exact same words they used for Civ IV ... besides the editor, that is.

Freedom to change anything is one of the reasons Civ is amazing, even if you unbalance the game. You want flying battle ships that shoot nukes, fine, its extremly unbalanced but if you think its fun, you can make it. The point of games is fun, not balance.

I once made a uu in civ3 that had like five hundred attack and defense and about 50 movement that costed to production and played a whole game with it.
