Civ5 Confirmed Features and Versions

[Guardian_PL]

No, I'm pretty sure that you now need one source of a resource for each unit that requires that resource, IIRC. So if you have 3 tank units they would need 3 sources of oil. Otherwise the latter part of Arabia's Special Ability wouldn't be that good.

Misinformation

One strategic resource should last for ~5 units. So if you want to have an army, you have to have several resources available. UA of Arabs is good because you can trade with extra resources, or on higer difficulty levels even with small empire you'll be able to sustain large army ^^

 

[Thyrwyn]

Actually, it appears that each strategic resource will support 2-6 units - each source will be rated by how many "units" it will support. Luxury resources still only require 1/empire.

Another nice video from the Italian site Multiplayer.it. It's in Italian, but has nice gameplay footage (just skip the 1st minute of bla bla). There are a few graphical glitches in this version, but that shouldn't deter us.

It teaches us the following:

Mathematics - Unlocks catapult and courthouse
Engineering - Unlocks lumbermills and forts
Market - +25% Gold output (no maintenance)
Great Wall - +1 culture, +1 Great Engineer, Enemy Land Units must expend 1 extra movement per tile inside your territory.
Hanging Gardens - +1 culture, +1 Great Artist, +3 Happiness, +1 Population in all Cities

Oh, and in another screenshot it's been confirmed that Open Borders can be single sided now.

I'm normally a gameplay over realism kind of guy, but can anyone explain the rationale for having courthouses unlocked by mathematics? It seems odd.

It was from a Fraxis preview way back at the start so it may of changed since then

Porcelain Tower - +2 science from every scientist in all cities, +1 culture, +1 great scientist point.

It's +2 Great Scientist points, not +1.

updated the Samurai, Porcelain Tower, Autocracy and added Italian as a supported language.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Wow. That Great General bonus tied to the Samurai added to Japan's Bushido code means lots of Great Generals for Japan during the Medieval Age.

 

[Thormodr]

Agreed. Japan looks really fun.

This is not true. All Natural Wonder get you +1 happines in your country.

I thought it was +1 happy if you were the first to discover it? What exactly are you saying? That you get +1 happy for every natural wonder in your territory, or?

No no.. Give +1 happy if you discover it. When you discover world.

updated the Samurai, Porcelain Tower, Autocracy and added Italian as a supported language.

In that case you might as well add Spanish, French and German as supported languages. The site is in those five languages and they are mentioned as supported languages on steam too.

Porcelain Tower - +2 science from every scientist in all cities, +1 culture, +1 great scientist point.

I read it as "+2 science from every specialist in all cities" rather than every scientist

So I think its like the representation civic in civ 4. Seems really powerful

Sorry, my bad. It is +2 science from every specialist indeed, and +2 great science points.
