You know, I'd love it if it were playable on my netbook. Can you imagine the procrastination power of a ~six hour battery life netbook and Civ?
So that's Starcraft 2 in July and Civilization V in September. Two massive PC games in three months. Looks like this picture [http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/1689/1275834546391.jpg] might need some updating.
But seriously, I would question if this will kill off Civ IV, especially considering the vast changes to the combat system (specifically the one unit per space rule, and corrisponding ranged attacks). With previous games, it was pretty much a case of piling in the units and hoping the Random Number God doesn't decide that their spearmen should blow up your tanks. Now it looks like the battles will be closer to Panzier Tactics (or Advance Wars) and the like.

Indeedie, I've been thinking that for awhile now.Delusibeta said:
I think I see what you mean. I'm not sure about the average Civ player, but I'm personally looking forward to it, especially if the revolution/evolution of the mechanics of it are as good as they sound.
Absoultly love the civ series. Civ IV took up so much of my time, hours felt like minutes when i was playing.
I like the one unit per tile rule, no more stacks of 20+ units will and more tatical wars is a massive step in the right direction for the series.

This is good. When I'd first read that they were getting rid of religion, I kind of worried that they may be oversimplifying the game. This has laid my biggest concern to rest at least.

Like what? I've played a LOT of Civ 4, and none of the combat changes he talks about are in it.Pugiron said:

As far as I know, they axed religion. I'm sad too :/
