Ah ha, they almost got me. Saw the 75% off and was going to buy. At the last second I remembered the expansion coming out very soon which will change a ton of the game.

Gonna keep holding off until there's a nice bundle or something.

This site is like the team liquid of Civilization strategy, if you are looking to advance up those difficulty levels.

I am personally partial to playing as the Iroquois. But I played most of my games before that patch where they changed alot of things.

Is Civ V better than Civ IV now, with all the patching since release? I remember playing a game on my friend's Steam account when Civ V was released, and it was super buggy/imbalanced.

I've heard some people saying it's decent but how is it compared to Civ IV? I played it for hundreds of hours with friends over Hamachi a couple years ago, but never bothered to pick Civ V up.

No, it's not.

It has major potential to be better, but in its current state, it's not even close to Civ 4. Gods and Kings may fix this, and from what we're seeing it's definitely a step in the right direction but we can't know until release. But yeah, in its current state it's nowhere near Civ 4.

However, all of us that played Civ 4 at release know it was horrible as well We were all saying the same things, except comparing it to Civ 3. So yeah, just wait it out until June and see the response from Gods and Kings first and buy the bundle IMO if you like the way it looks.

Danke ^_^

I'm going to give Civ 5 a whirl this weekend, got 2 of my friends to download it and I'm trying to persuade a couple others so we can have a nice long game to see how it is.

I probably won't end up buying it, because I'm super broke right now but we'll see!

No offense, but that's pretty poor year-old advice. Going Tradition, not leading with Scout/Monument, and no early Library is basically the opposite of everything you should be doing. Though, at easier difficulties, anything with a plan works.

Rome and Persia are pretty good starter civs if you like expanding; you'll have good defense against any AI that wars with you, and you can pretty much focus on spamming cities and taking attacks of opportunity.

Start with Scout/Monument every game (in either order is fine, though I prefer leading with the scout unless I'm at 1 production), and go Liberty every game for the free Worker+Settler (usually in that order for a newer player; if you're feeling bold, you can steal a worker from a neighboring City-State). Research Writing, and whatever it takes to improve your nearby luxuries, and make sure to trade the excess luxuries to the AI for 240gold. Sell your Open Borders for 50 gold. With that gold, you can buy the rest of your Workers and Settlers: never produce more than one Settler for the entire game if you can help it, since it halts growth.

For me, it's 26,99 €. 10% off.
Still, I was hoping for a 20€ release.
I'm shy and reserved, even on the internet.

I think only the expansion will not get much cheaper. Maybe a bundle with the full game or some Civs, but I already have almost everything except Denmark, Babylon and Polynesia.
I guess it's worth the 30€ after all.

Especially if the Religion and Espionage part is well made (not counting the 9 more civilisations into the deal), this expansion sounds like much fun.
Espionage was what has been missing in Civ5 so much!
One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch...and kablooie!
