Are there any unhappiness, maintenance or cost disadvantages to building cities farther away from each other, as in previous Civs?

Distance is irrelevant. One annoying feature is that the A.I. tends to build settlers which it escorts and build cities on luxury resources that you are planning on building on. Note, killing and taking cities is hard. Expect to have to send 1-3 warriors/archers per unit of city size taking heavy losses to take an undefended city.

Defend the terrain outside your city, defending the city, although it looks promising is dangerous. The AI gets city attack bonuses. Have your army ready before the war, you won't have time to build it during the war.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

So worth getting the game of the year edition and the expansion Gods&Kings ?

G&K is worth getting. The mods are mature now and all of the mods require G&K. Well, if you haven't played vanilla out yet, do that first, then get G&K.

Any good mods like Fall from Heaven?

I'm terrible at the game though.  Unless I have a mountainous barrier to set up fixed defenses I often get drawn into expensive century long wars that I can't win. 
PDH!

I've started two games as Rome.  In both I was no where near Iron, in my second its not even visible on the freakin map.  What good are legionaires if you can't build them ever?
PDH!

They're no good at all if you can't build them, in my experience.

that's the kind of refined wisdom which only comes with age and experience.

Is Civ5 + God&Kings worth 30 Euro?

Razgovory

It really depends on age and gender of the thirty Euros.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Definitely. Imo Civ5 + G&K is the best Civ game to date.

Yes, most definitely.

I would agree.  You should be able to get it for less than that though with the Steam Winter Sale, which started yesterday BTW.
