[abhijit_reddevil]

Anyone played Civilization V? It's release recently and going by the reviews it is one of the best games of the year. Gamespot gave ~ 9/10 and Editor's Choice.

Discuss everything related to Civilization V here.

I am getting it today. When i played Civ4 three years ago, I didn't understood a thing. Lets hope that I've improved a bit and understand Civ5.

[vamsi_krishna]

Got Civ 5 Today. Played for an hour. It is really awesome and the interface is sleek. I never thought that I will feel this much at home. All it took was couple of mins of training in Tutorial mode.

Any one else playing?

Woot.. Just completed the game by time with Rome. The game was fantastic. And i was playing in easier mode, so.. i completed the game at the early levels(some wehre around Radio technology invention). And i know that i didn't even scratched the surface of this game. Will play with England tomorrow. This time, in higher difficulty mode.

if u really wanna taste this game then start with custom settings with all victories turned OFF except CONQUEST/DOMINATION and u'll love it

time based victory is the most boring of them all

[vamsi_krishna]

That will not happen. I'm ready even to surrender one of my towns instead of declaring a war. That china bad ass women intimidated me so many even though she is way more behind me in Eras. And she didn't even agreed to generous proposals I was making. And the Sub-cites were always asking for favors and gave nothing in return.I just want to play the game in a Diplomatic way. Though I may try war rampage for one game just for a change.

well i dunno anything about AI
i heard that its better and more aggressive than CIV 4
so i can expect it to be more challenging than previous one

Started with Egypt on Prince difficulty, Continent style map, 8 major players, Quick pace.
Victorious after about 320+ turns on reaching 2050AD. All research completed. Completed all parts for getting the Science victory. Eliminated all nations except the capital of a single nation (intentionally).

Had a horrible defeat taking India, don't take it if you have conquest in mind. The unhappiness keeps on mounting.

Take Egypt and go for Pyramids asap. Now watch your workers on the fly.
Soon you'll be watching nuclear subs firing at caravels or Robots squashing pikemen

[vamsi_krishna]

I was about to play as Egyptians. But i lost my data. I should get this game again.

[Piyush]

hey i almost forgot to ask u guys one thing?
how is the "world builder" in this game?
does it have more options than the previous one?

and one more thing.....does any one knows that when will be the fall from heaven mod released?

[vamsi_krishna]

Just go the game, and I'm now playing with Aztec civilization. Will post more after a quick sesssion

[Rahim]

I just loved Civilisation series but didn't had the time to reach advance stages.
AoE was my favourite.

[vamsi_krishna]

Queen Elizabeth is one pain in the ass. She keeps making fun of me in one way or the other, taking advantage of my diplomatic ruling. Thou, heart less b!tch!

I'm not your city-state, stupid woman.



If you call me Barbarian one more time... Thee will kick Thou ass

[Piyush]

^^lol....
thats a nice one
cant u just defeat her
make some alliance and so

[vamsi_krishna]

she just declared a war against me. And, i just defended my city. After the death of 7 units.. she made a peace agreement.. offered me lot of luxury goods, money.

Now.. something really strange happened..



yea.. gandhi declared a war against me. I helped him a lot when he was facing difficulties initially.. supplied Fur, Gems, Ivory. Made open border agreements with him, Technology agreements too. All of a sudden this happened.

[Piyush]

^^man!!
and i though spiritual leaders dont start war as a surprise(there are a few exceptions though)

[vamsi_krishna]

^^In that game he expanded his kingdom and established 20 cities. And conquered two other civilizations(Egyptian, American)

OT: Gandhi is not a spiritual leader

[Piyush]

so what is the personality traits of gandhi in this game
in previous one he was :spiritual+industrious

[SunnyChahal]

Is Civilization V turn-based like Civilization IV was or is it like AoE?

[Piyush]

^^most probably its still turn based game like its predecessors

[SunnyChahal]

Facepalm

[vamsi_krishna]

^ you facepalm too much

Just constructed The Manhattan Project. And.. 2 turns away for the production of atomic bomb.I once said to Queen Elizabeth.. "You'll pay for this someday". This day is the day.

[Piyush]

^^one bomb from my side too
i just hated her comments

[vamsi_krishna]

holy hell.. dropped the bomb on London. But he radiation was a bit beyond my expectation. London was my neighboring city.. and i nucked it. The radiation passed 3 tiles beyond the English border. 5 tiles in my territory got destroyed and radiated. And, there was this quote about the nukes...

"None will grow in these lands except hatred and vengeance" That is such a true.

[Piyush]

^^totally agreed
but nuking is fun
