[PC]Civilization V coming!

[Zanza]

Civilization IV had Germany and the Holy Roman Empire. That didn't make much sense to me at least. And the HRE had Charlemagne as a leader, who could just as well be claimed by the French civilization, whereas Germany had Frederick the Great as leader who happened to be one of the most famous princes of the HRE.

that would force the french to declare that they are germans after all... and we can't have that now, can we?

Assyria seems like a great civ.

It gets a catapult replacement, making it a good conquering civ, and a library replacement which gives culture, making it good at science.

But the real treasure is the UA - it steals a tech whenever it conquers a city.

So, just invent military techs and get everything else from your plunders.

LOL someone noticed that a Polish winged hussar screenshot published by Firaxis has an anti-tank promotion.

Got my first, ever in all version of Civ, domination victory.

It's a little boring.

They tend to be.  Due to the snowball effect, if you're in position to get a dominating victory, you're usually far ahead long before you capture that last enemy capital.

Sure wish they would have another sale on the first expansion.

[garbon]

Amazon has it for 20 now - though that's only $10 cheaper than steam.

[Berkut]

Actually, I just picked up the Gold upgrade for $20 on Steam, which includes all the DLC and Gods and Kings.

Not sure why they sell G&K separate from that...

[garbon]

Oh good call - yeah that is strange...

[Martinus]

By the way, Firaxis said that BNW will include all the mechanics from G&K - so if you don't have G&K buy buy BNW, you only won't get new civs and scenarios from G&K.

[Syt]

Then I hope there'll be a discount for G&K owners.

Why? I don't get people who reason like that. It's not like you were not enjoying the G&K content for all these months since you bought it.

By the same token, you could expect Steam to refund your money for a game that you bought at a full price, but now is in a discount bin. 

[Syt]

Well, for one it would show appreciation by the devs/publishers to customers who've been with them so far.

And it would be an incentive to people who haven't bought G&K yet to get both together, because G&K is now a glorified civ pack.

Like me.
