Civilization V - After the Gamescom

[The_J]

The Gamescom, the worlds biggest computer gaming expo, is now over, and we have been there to play Civ, and many other too, who want to talk about it.

At CFC 3 people have been there, read their impressions:

• CivFanatics: Wenz about the Gamescom
• CivFanatics: Ituralde about the Gamescom
• CivFanatics: Me about the Gamescom (in cooporation with WePlayCiv and Civforum.de)

And also in the other fan forums people have been there, read, about what they write:

• Apolyton: Interview with Jon Shafer (CFC thread)
• Apolyton:Robert Plomp about the Gamescom (CFC thread)
• Apolyton: Jobe blogging from the Gamescom
• Apolyton: Video: The nuke explosion (CFC thread)
• Apolyton: Jobe about Social Policies (CFC thread)
• WePlayCiv: Locutus about the Gamescom (together with Civforum/Civfanatics)
• Civforum.de: Montesquieue about the Gamescom (german; in cooperation with WePlayCiv)
• Civforum.de: Compiled experiences from different users (german; in cooperation with WePlayCiv and CivFanatics)

To note: No news from Fastmoves, because they've fused with Apolyton, there's now the option to lead their blogs from there. So, go, blog about Civ .

Thanks for the summary.

I swear I saw an video interview with Shafer by the apolyton dudes (from GamesCom) that was never mentioned here anywhere. It's mostly more of the same but they ask a few good questions and don't pat themselves on the back as much as in the other interview.

Wow I´m on the main page of Civ Fanatics, a dream has come true

I was watching their presentation on ESL-tv and all was cool etc. Then he said something like "Were gonna use our GIANT DEATH ROBOT to attack Ramses"
And I was like " wut? "

A giant death robot? I'm really looking forward to this game and to the first mod that kicks that unit out of the game. I'm not much of a fan of future units in civ... they do not belong in civ

Thanks for the round-up! I have definitely learned a lot more about CiV thanks to the posted articles. The provided videos and screenshots only make me long for the release of the game more and more.

I guess this is what happens when jesus walked on a river:
