Have fun discussing the just announced Civ5, everyone! 
Very soon I will create a forum category for Civ5...

I was in the middle of a meeting this morning when my friend send me a link to civilization5.com.
I can't explain to you how excruciating that meeting was, trying to hold back my feverish clicking through that website, only to find a total of 8 pictures and ten small blurbs of text.
Extremely excited for this!

Sweet sexy hexies
Reminds me of Hex Empire. (small browser game)
I hope they do what Michael Bay did for Transformers 2:
Leak information that may be true or false. This way when we get the game, it will be that much more exhilarating to explore all the new features.
But I do want to know -- do you need a NASA megacomputer to run this game?
8?
Edit: Found them

Very excited to hear about this this morning. Hasn't done much for my productivity today, admittedly... 
I would hope Civ5 wouldn't be as much of a disappointing game sequel as that movie sequel, though.

To me, it just screams at me "Panzer General".
To those of us who started building empires with Risk and then moved on to the Avalon Hills Genre. A big circle. It went from squares to hexes and back again. I recall hexagons being tougher strategically though no specific remembrances on why? It was a long time ago. Remember when?

Sigh, sometimes it seems like no one remembers Avalon Hill games 
We need more boardgames like that! So much more social than most computer games, sittin around a board for twelve hours, eating cheetos...
As for hexes, I know they act more like circles, in a way, so that diagonal paths aren't faster than straight paths. It's more realistic that way.

Yumbo? Yumbo!
I remember Avalon Hill games fondly. There are still games made like that.

Road to War Modder
Can you create a sub-sub-forum for us modders as well. So we can discuss modding options etc for Civ 5. While we won't know what is available we can at least discuss or or announce our intentions. e.g. may stop modding for Civ4, to start work on Civ 5. etc.

Hi,
I have just discovered the images relating to the project of CIV5 and I acknowledge feeling shared sentiments. This, at first sight, obviously
1) Whereas it took decades to finally succeed in cutting out the ground in Hexagons, here that each one of those (which corresponds apparently to a city, is which represents several hectares) appears occupied by only one homogeneous unit
I hope that what is presented to us is only the model of the play (
), because -if not- I do not dare to imagine the kind of combat only one us concocted with this system
Isn't this a strategic game? What thus makes these units side by side? They will fight each one individually, or in concert in a combat of group taking account of the various adjacent friends (with a Chief?). With which distance will draw the catapult? And how will be represented the mixed units of which most modern (A unit with only machine-guns will be proposed again to us?).
2) The size of the cities seems quite small and this does not develop the pleasure of architecture at all (Some would prefer to be limited to the appreciation of the large cows?
). Why does one be obstinate to limit the size of the cities to only one box? Wouldn't an aerodrome, a port or an industrial park justify an extension to an additional hexagon? 
3) I hope that the new system will preserve spaces of freedom and of creativity essential which took part in the success of the previous versions, while adopting -between others- of the programs accessible in the majority. And this in particular for the realization of images (Units, Buildings, etc) because it would be very frustrating not to be able to integrate into it grinds them former creations.
4) The richness of the images enchants me, but as makes me fear as many amateurs will have to give up playing on a portable, or will have to change PC to reach this new version suitably.
5) There exist many initially marvellous plays (or with a very good potential) which one however very badly advanced while growing, and this often- because they privileged the aesthetic richness with the evolution of the concept of simulation/probability.
I hope sincerely that this will not arrive at Civilization!
