Preview: Civilization V

[Epigone]

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.

So let me get this straight... Descent, Fallout, Sacrifice, Planescape: Torment, MDK, and Baldur's Gate are on there, but not Freespace 2? Published by the same company and many gamers will argue it's a better quality game than many of the games on that list.

Not just Baldur's Gate, that is Baldur's Gate Shadows of Amn.(The bestest game to date.)

Do not fret, for religion in Civ5 has been revised, not removed.

OT: Nice preview, I can't wait to get my hands on this baby.

Actually, there's a quote from one of the designers that suggests it is gone:

I certainly support anything that tightens up the diplomacy system, but I really liked the cultural effect of religion, not to mention the financial bonus once you got the wonder up!

Daiym, and I thought I recalled reading another preview saying that it was just redacted. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Well, my favorite Civ was IV, but because it was the very first Civ I've ever played. Good to hear that my 60 bucks were well spent preordering the Steam Digital Deluxe version of the game, I can't wait for it to unlock in September 21.

I hope it's still as "intelligent" as the old Civs, so many games are getting dumbed down these days

The new one-unit-per-square system is really gonna change multiplayer warfare.

Was a great read, really looking forward to this now.
The removal of stacks is very interesting.
