Is coming out in a few days. Anyone here into that? I'll probably be getting it a few weeks after it comes out.
A minimally-organized FFA with community members could be nice. But war-fearing cowards can get rekt.

whats the appeal of civ 5?
Should I buy it?
It's for the nerds who want to play strategy games but can't reach anything close to 150+ apm. It's tbs and much more slow-paced than wc3 or sc2. Don't know if that is for you.
I got the game and all its DLCs for $12.89 in some Steam special sale. Not too expensive for the 200+ hours I've put into it.
I will have to check it out.
Before I was good, I played a custom game on wc3 called World War III broken alliance which may be in the same sort of genre?
Just checked a video of that. I don't think they're anything similar. Civilization is more like chess: there are tiles you can move your units to and the game is played turn by turn (Can play simultaneously online though).
On that note, Civ as a series is known to be a bad multiplayer game. I am not exaggerating when I say that there is a 3 second delay for every action a player makes. I presume this unresponsiveness is going to tilt the fuck out of players like you who are used to quick gameplay.
oh yeah I exclusively play on korean servers and spikes/lag tilts the fuck out of me.
I don't really care as much when I play games with friends/ for fun though. Believe it or not, but outside of wc3/sc2/mafia I don't rage at games too often
In short, you spend hours and hours on a single game (on the quickest gamespeed LOL). You click-click-click each turn to build/acquire goods that increase your numbers, which improve your ability to build/acquire goods, which increase your numbers, and so on. On a cynical level, it's a glorified farmville where you click, click in a semi-zombie-like state half the time and then put actual thought into decisions the other half of the time.
However, it goes a little further than that. The combination of the music, the discovery of other civilizations with their own cool characters, and the development of your own civilization from something small to something massive makes you feel like you're playing something grand. The game has loads of little details to really help immersion. It's the kind of thing you might accidentally end up playing for 6 hours instead of the 2 you intended.
The MP has the sort of politics you'd expect. "Attack strongest player", "Team up with player who isn't unintentionally screwing up your strategy", "exploit desperation of weak players", exc. It's less immersive than the singleplayer, but it's still lovely to have company and not put up with the sometimes ridiculous decisions the AI make.
It's nice to play a few hours every week and slowly develop a cute civilization in the background of your life, or sink a weekend binging a single game.
I'm up for a civ 5 game as well tbh. Yeah, I'm gonna wait a few weeks at least anyway in case the game is completely broken at release heheh. I hover around immortal difficulty.
You always did strike me as a man of taste. :3
Not pre-ordering, but I plan to buy fast and play some newbie games with Mattzed
Spoiler : Orpz FM History :
Civ 6 is $80? Christ; I totally want to buy it, but not for that much. Looks like I'll keep playing 5 until it goes on Steam sale.
Regarding the graphics that people were talking about earlier, I personally am fine with the new style, especially if it helps performance. I used to play 5 with a few friends and near the end game, each turn would take ages of loading (even on my beefy PC). As a long time Civ player who started on 2, this was pretty unacceptable for me; one of the appeals of Civ for me has always been that it isn't horrendously strenuous on your computer. The fact that 5 slowed to a crawl after the Industrial era was a pretty hard pill to swallow given that Civ is already a pretty slowly paced game.
I'm more excited about the changes to cities anyway; it sounds like they are finally going to make city management feel like a part of the game instead of some seperate thing buried in a menu.
What's all the hate to civ 6, I will be purchasing in a month or so when I get some more cash but i will probably see if I can pirate it till I get it and then when I do get it, get it cheap away from steam, unless there's a sale.
Listen here in Russian,ex forces and fought in the Afghan war and the first Chechen war I drink vodka and lived in England for 13 years wanna stop me try it.
Also how in the he'll can they charge 80 dollars for the game, over here it costs 2600 rubles which is sbout 42 dollars and i checked that its highest in the uk is 45 pounds.

I had to restrain the triggered fanboy in me. Clearly these noobs cannot appreciate the profound effect the district system will have on the metagame. Personally, I'd pay 1000 dollars just to have the new social policy system. Disappointing.
? Thought this already was a dating site? Is this why DarknessB is refusing my advances?
Confused.
I live in Vladivostok?

Did anyone end up picking this up? I'd love to find some people to play with

I really don't like the direction Civilization headed after Civ 4. It was always about being a sandbox game. You could choose the way you wanted to play. Now the game eliminates some playstyles and without modding there is no way to turn some features off. I really do not understand why they did this to what was once a great series.
Intellectual growth comes from discussions, not arguments. If you are unwilling to change your position and hear the other persons side you are closed minded and wasting your time.
If you can not clearly explain what the other sides reasoning is you can not disagree with their position because you do not understand it.
