They can always add religion to an expack (and maybe Civ Revs economic victory, also add a religious victory too). It would be a great addition if they add Byzantium, Spain, Moors, Holy Roman Empire. Basicly all the religious focused civs.

I could see this. Kind of like the addition of corporation in Beyond the Sword.

To put the 1UP review in perspective, the same guy gave Deus Ex a 4/10 in PC Gamer.

On the other hand, he's pretty much the only one that gave Empire TW a bad mark...

Baranga

He gave Deus Ex a 4/10?? And Civ5 a C/A+???

Geeeeeeeez :P

What is the meaning of the A's? I thought GS used a system that scores games out of 10, not 4.

All this praising is driving my patience for this game even lower. Just 1 more day till it gets released but then when it actually unlocks, and by then the time will be 1:00 AM (I hate my country sometimes:cry: )

They can always add religion to an expack (and maybe Civ Revs economic victory, also add a religious victory too). It would be a great addition if they add Byzantium, Spain, Moors, Holy Roman Empire. Basicly all the religious focused civs.

Or a modder could just add those features in, but yes the things you state would be awesome.

well wait for the sticky to get updated..console fanboys will want to know why this series gets high ratings each and every single time :P

meanwhile the hermits will be way too busy playing to get mixed up in the soon to be created "all the PC has is RTS's" threads.

Another solid game that I need to play. Halo: Reach has me hooked right now, but I surely will buy Civ. 5 on Steam some time in the near future.

I see a lot of reviews complaining about overly aggressive AI, but I haven't really seen that yet. Maybe it's just because I've been playing on lower difficulty levels.

Well the hermits were very vocal and plentiful when StarCraft II came out. It's a shame they don't care for this game like they do Starcraft.

I'm broke.

I'm playing the free week Minecraft, and I played the demo of Recettear, and I just plain can't afford a $50 game.

Maybe, just maybe I'll buy all three, and just live off bologna and cheese for a week or two :P

overly agressive AI? Really GS? May i point out that if your bordered with France, Rome, Germany, Greece, Japan. They WILL declare war on you, they are aggressive nations. Nations have their own personality. Just a heads up GS.

Actually that's the best time to declare War when you think about it. His armies are half way across the world, and he doesn't anticipate an attack from such a long friend.

I was building too close to them, but I thought they wouldn't mind since I was helping them out... they were acting very aggressive to surrounding areas though.

That sounds like empire's A.I, whenever I would stifle a smaller nation by conquering everyone around them they would declare war on me!

Im playing the trial on steam at the moment....I think I am going to have to get this game. It does kind of annoy me that there is an additional civ that costs extra to play as.... Does anyone know if the extra 10 dollars is worth it for the extra civ: Babylon?
