Oh well, it means I get some proper rest and a decent bit more time studying for the two tests this week before I blow them both off to play this game.
I had no idea that the game was to be released later in the UK. So I had it preloaded and everything ready to go and at midnight I had everything set up only to be sorely disappointed that we get gimped again
I don't know if this will work, but can you sign up for a new steam account (and register as USA) and download the demo?
I bought the game and I live in the USA so this doesn't effect me. It's something to try if you're EU and can't download the demo, though.
@snotboogie. First of all, awesome name. Love The Wire. Second, I usually play civ4 co-op with friends on high handicaps (monarch, emperor) and aggressive AI and all sorts of stuff that makes it harder, to have the multiplayer feel without getting warrior rushed when you random a Civ that starts with scout. When I sit down to play a Civ game, I want a few hours of enjoyment, but multiplayer PvP civ4 has always been a poor experience for me.
Will see what Civ5 is like, though. I think its pretty hard to rely on random opponents being able to set aside the amount of hours that I'd want to for a nice long game without interruption. Maybe it'll be different, though.
Also interested in starting a civ5 succession game here on TL after maybe a week, so we all have some hands-on time to discover whats what. Will post the sign-ups as soon as I load it up and get some hands-on to make sure its possible/feasible.

If they make succession games impossible I can hear a large groaning from a decent number of people. And if you make the SG at a low enough level I'll join. I really need to actually play through games this time though, I was always forgetting to save in Civ4 since I wan't used to the game length being so long.

Man, this decrypting files is killing me
Why would it be impossible? It's just copy and paste of a save game file. Turn off Steamworks save file sync if the game gives you any trouble.
