[PC]Civilization V coming!

[Tamas]

-Solidarity -receive a free Social Policy when they advance into each new era

frankly, this is ridicously OP especially with that unit. Polish special ability should be: "Incapability for Independence. When Poland has more than two cities, the extra cities get distributed among its 3 neighbors".

[Martinus]

This is hardly OP. Check other changes to the rules.

[Martinus]

Cool video from PAX

Shows Pedro II, Ashurbanipal and the new tourism mechanics for cultural victory. Love it, as I always liked winning culturally, but it always felt somewhat lacklustre.

Now Polish culture will rule the planet! Pierogis and Catholicism for all!

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel with things Brazil.

Why is that? Not counting Aztecs and Incas, South America is not represented in Civilization 5 at all, and Brazil is quite influential these days. Considering earlier Civilizations had the Zulus, you can't really go lower than that.

Guess they added it before the papal election.

It's the tourism mechanic they added for late game culture stuff. They probably have a tourism related UU,  UA or  UB.

tourism related UU

Latino poolboys?

[Martinus]

They actually do have tourism-related UA - Carnival - which doubles their tourism generation during GAs.

Modern countries sell better than ancient civilizations. Sad but true.

Well, the game concept behind civilization games have always been pretty dodgy, as if you wanted to go by the book, you would have to have a handful of ancient civilizations and that's it.
