Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

They really need to change the powers because 2 UU units dont make up for getting ass raped in the beginning.
GHANDI THE CONQUER
Where did the sun go?
. . . Woops.
Glancing over the thread in-between bouts of gameplay (10 hours! Holy shit!), there were some people using the nvidia 8800 and complaining about it running slowly. To these people (and, really, to everyone) I say: use the tactical overlay. Gives off this wonderful board-game vibe. I think I've spent the majority of those 10 hours using it.
Anyway, it just finished downloading that Day 1 patch for me about 20 minutes ago, and I just got done trying out early game and-
Hey, it's pretty dark out, is there a storm comming? I think I saw something about that on the Weather Channel.
anywho, I think I kinda enjoy the one-tile-at-a-time way the border expands, makes Settler city finding phase seem a bit longer, and the massive area a city can gather resourses from (3 tiles from the city!) means overlap doesn't hurt as mu-
...Wait, what time is it? It's still around 10am right??

Right?
Now, I've gotta admit something. I liked civ 3 more than civ 4. I just didn't dig all the new bells and whistles so much. I felt like they got in the way of an already increasingly clunky system.
This offering just took everything that irritated me and out back, shot it, and rolled it into a ditch nice and quiet like.
Oh well, not like I care about Bablyonians anyway. They should have gone with a Civ someone would have felt emotionally connected to.
Though I have to admit, I'm kind of waiting to see what modders do to it. The diplomacy still seems to need some love before it's really interesting.

Game crashes every so often though which is annoying >_>.
Civ 4 streamlined Civ 3 a ton
You crazy bro
India/russia/arabia/france are really badass esp with the special social powers.
Is there a way to heal units besides spending a promotion?
Edit: Of course I see the button right after I ask this.
Sounds like commie talk to me. "Social powers" aka communism.
Of course, I had to delete the demo ASAP. The whole reason I'm not buying the game right now is that I don't have the free time at the moment and even the demo is crazy addicting.

How is it?

My eyes hurt.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
The beginning game feels slower than Civ4, though that might just be because I haven't adjusted for the changes yet.
I can tell I'm going to be even worse at defending in this game now. I want to build pretty buildings! Screw units.
soooooo much better
Randomly chose England, but I'm glad I got them. Naval superiority plus early game Longbows = RAPETASTIC. I dominated all those stupidhead computers rather easily.
Now to try it on something harder than level 2 difficulty. =\
I think that any other game win besides militaristic would be difficult to achieve. Am I right?
Its funny because when you posted this, its 9:59am where I am.

Also, yay for Steam downloading so fast.
You know you're in trouble if you hear birds.
Hey, maybe that's the source of my irrational hatred for birds. They are the heralds of a long and unproductive day.
Honest to god Sheep, you ask the dumbest questions.
Come Civ with the cool kids.
I take Ankara, the nearest city to me. I then seize the Ottoman capitol, Istanbul. Finally I take a third city whose name I cannot recall and my attack force is starting to dwindle in strength. Then suddenly the Ottomans come groveling to me. They offered me their entire gold production for 20 turns, everything currently in their treasury, their only luxury resource, and six cities all in exchange for peace. My empire doubled with minimal effort. That was a very refreshing change.
After just playing the demo for an hour, I don't think I can go back to Civ 4 and I loved Civ 4.
I mean, the game practically has TWO tech trees (the actual tech tree and the culture bonuses)! How can you not love that?
