Morning Discussion
You can use it to talk about this new 'video game' I understand everyone's talking about, if you like that sort of thing. For complaints about your job, partner, spouse, friend, car, StarCraft II, invert mouse, children, teenagers, parents, pensioners and strafe-jumping, why, look no further than your friendly daily Morning Discussion. I feel I should point out that it's also okay to express positive opinions in MD, just in case you hadn't realised yet.

I heard it was too hard. Fuck hard games. Everyone who plays hard games are either masochists or elitist fuckwads.

It's one of those *nerd* games BRO. It's a turn based game, whatever that is, based on history or some useless crap. God bless America bro.
You can't even get a SPAS12 Auto shotgun or AR15 M140 Underbarrel 72GM FM Parasect in the game. SUCKS BRO. bRo.-
Bro, i love the SPAS12 Auto shotty. I be like 0wnin' faces an' shit in Modern Warfare 2, bro. MADDEN 2k10!!!!!111

I also found this, if that's the actual interface I love it, looks super clean:

The view in those pictures is the only thing I've seen of it. My dad was into civ when I was a kid but I was busy playing doom and quake and the like :)

Have you guys looked over the achievements for the game? Some pretty funny names in there. :)
Such as:
My Little Pony
As Catherine, research Horseback Riding before any other Civ.

Probably not if you throw 600 at them.

Neither of those shows up on my Steam list:

It has changed. Now you must completely unlock x of those civic thingys (five maybe?) which then unlocks a special wonder that wins you the cultural victory. You buy civics with culture.
-
-
More:
I'm On A Boat! - Embark a Unit.
Seriously?!? - Have another Civ beat you to completing a Wonder 10 times.
Three Musketeers - Kill a unit with a French Musketeer when two other Musketeers are providing flanking bonuses.
Kamikaze Attack - Kill an enemy unit attacking with a Japanese unit with just 1 HP remaining.
Ruler Of The Seas - As Elizabeth, sink and destroy 357 enemy naval units, across any number of playthroughs.
He Threw A Car At My Head! - Have any city ransomed by Barbarians.
I think I'm missing a reference in that last one though. :)-

Ya I'm not sure either. Been a while since I watched Dr horrible
-

It's during one of his webcam videos he looks all banged up and says Hammer threw a car at his head :D
-
-
-
Wow! Those sound really damn funny, and hard :/
-
-
It really is. I just hope it's not for one play-through. But even if it is I bet I'll get it on my first game. AI is always sniping my wonders. :(

Yeah, finished up a few hours ago. It's 4.45GB. Got some pretty good speeds off Steam. :D

Yeah, the waiting between Tuesday and Thursday next week is going to kill me. :(

Not allow any cancellations / refunds / returns once the keys are out because that is the "product" people are paying for, essentially. They could easily do that but perhaps they aren't allowed to, you'd think they'd be fine with getting people to pay them the money and then use steam's bandwidth to download it all.
Anyway, doesn't bother me because everyone here will still be playing the damn game long before I will be. -

It would have been fun to pass the time with, but I don't really need it to help me make the decision on buying the game or not.
And I would suspect it had just made the wait harder. A Civ demo with a hard turn limit or similar is just a gigantic cock tease anyway. So I don't really mind. -

Having a turn limit demo or something like that would just make me angry. I wouldn't download it.
The only benefit of a demo I can think of is for civ newbies who want to get a tutorial out of the way first and jump into a full game on release day.
Civ players that have only played revolutions in the past are in for a suprise. Which may be why they are waiting until release day to put out a demo. Won't scare the revolution players off :) -
I thought they said on the live stream that there would be a demo but that it wouldn't be out til launch day

It's annoying, at this point I just hope the initial release isn't buggy as shit.

In general, it's somewhat evenly matched, looks to be approximately equal tech and military size, although the assaulting army has more units. War in particular has changed enough between Civ 5 and prior civs that I can't say that for certain though.

You need to watch this:
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/civilizationv/video/6275453/sid-meiers-civilization-v--video-walk-through
Spoiler: they seem to be able to shoot around 3 tiles. Keep in mind though, that a lot of units can move more then 1 tile in Civ5, to make the whole "one unit per tile" limit less frustrating.

-
oh fuck I totally forget there will be nukes, YES
-
Fucking Ordos, can't they stay out of this Harkonnen vs Corrino battle?
-
-
a tough spot for red, but if it's anything like Civ IV, there is also a defensive bonus for units on hills, in forest/jungle, ect. which *could* help red....but all those blue cavalry units will own him.
