      Lets start organizing some games!

      Known to own it:
      golw
      Forte
      CR
      Azzmodan
      B-Rock

      Who else?

      If you aren't sure about the game yet, the demo was released along with the game, go find it and download it. The game can run on a pretty lean machine too, by entering a different view-mode, so specs aren't too important.

      The game is pretty much an improvement in every way. The only major problem is the AI seems to be either tweaked or broken currently. Apparently early releases had very challenging and intelligent AI, while the current release has AI that can hardly fight a war on Prince and below (not sure about higher) I suspect this will be fixed in the first patch. Otherwise its pretty much an improvement in every way over 4, which was already like the best game ever.

        Disagree on it being better than 4. Needs more polish first.

        Barbarians spawn like crazy even without Raging turned on, thus are aggravating.

        As for people, I can round up Pyth. Deadlock has Civ 5 as well.

          Oh its better…don't want barbs to spawn kill their camps newb. In orginal they just came out of anywhere with no rhyme or reason.

          Its like Advanced Wars merged into Civ.

                  I got it and would be interested in playing. Steam id is saxet88.

                  What view mode are you talking about Bolthor? Seems to run a little slow on my laptop but the only changes I've made to the graphics options is to turn shadows off.

                  Haven't tried it on my desktop yet, but i suspect that'll run it just fine.

                    He means strategic view. At the bottom right of the screen its a tab. Click it and you can play the game like a…top down Risk game with the Graphics of Bejeweled pretty much.

                                Running it on DirectX9 makes a huge difference on my laptop in terms of speed. Fog of war looks dumb with it, but that's tolerable.

                                      Mandatory Steam is not a good thing. gowl just thinks Valve are gods.

                                        Steam blows ass.

                                        Infact any app that makes me slowly get to my game sucks ass. Unless its a necessity to get around Anti-Piracy protection.

                                            Cant you just run the EXE and bypass steam? I do that with one (the only one) I got on steam. Then again, it aint multiplayer, and it's OLD
