Hi guys, Ive only played the Civ 5 demo (waiting for my student loan to come through so I can buy it) but I noticed at the beginning it says there are drug references in the game. Im just curious has anyone who owns the full game come across these yet?

One of the Civilopedia pages (for China?) references the Opium Wars.
Yes, that's it.

It IS the drug. 
Wow, how sad that they had to include that statement just because of a small reference
I think ESRB is even smarter nao: they added "drug reference" because they took Civanon seriously
What about slaying millions of simulated people in the name of greed and world domination?
Warning:
Game is a game because it allows you to do things you wouldn't do in real life.
I will retract my smart-ass comment when they invent a real-life-simulator that runs in real time...of course...it would still have to have all the usual warnings!
In conclusion: I hate stupid ---- like this "drug reference" issue.

That is exceptional harsh and fear-mongering if it a ref to the opium wars. Thats a historical reference rather than sitting bull puffing on a crack pipe.
Whats the deal with "powered by gamespy" is Steam not the mutliplayer supplier?

Also the Giant Death Robot page refers to it being a "Modern Armor unit on steroids".
Gamespy powers the mod side of things.

It could also be something stupid like being offered to smoke the peace pipe. Save the children.

Gamespy powers the mods ayes, Steam servers are used for hosting the multiplayer games, however the browser design is made by Firaxis.

A very bad one, not addicting anymore.

Yes. This game is very dangerous for our youth.
You might learn in it that there was some event called the Opium wars where our noble politicians basically invaded China because the Chinese wanted to stop producing opium for the West. A huge percentage of the population in China was addicted to it (partly thanks to western influence) and that EVIL CHAIRMAN MAO finally put an end to it (both production and consuming).
