Haudi,
New Civ looks horrible. I got thoughts about ancient Rainbow Island from Commodore Amiga 500 because of those awful pastel colours. How can you engage bloody wars in environment like that?
I don't know anything about the functions of the game yet, but I want to say this: If the loading times increase as much as they did between Civ3 and Civ4, you can't play the bloody game even if you had a supercomputer.
I like to play my civ on stand alone installation. If the new version is preferring multi player functions, I pass (If I can...).
After all Civilzation serie has been the greatest game of all, and I have played it a lot (far too lot...). I hope developers won't ruin the fantastic game.
