Civilization V

Well I hear no end of reports about helicopters/planes crashing in the various conflicts going on around the world. Perhaps you could argue that the very presence of the spear men are what caused the helicopter to crash

What about if the Helicopter was on the ground, I bet spearmen could get it then (you didnt after all specify that the helicopter was airbourne :p )

Couldnt throw the spear 2 miles, but nobody said it had to be thrown, maybe it could be fired, some kind of big speargun thing, like a harpoon only bigger :D

I could think of quite a few ways in which a "spearman" (being unclearly defined) could down a helicopter (being unclearly defined).

Of course if we are talking a wooden spear , thrown only by the arm of a single man, against an airbourne helicopter moving at speed...well thats a different kettle of fish, not sure we're given that specific a set of parameters though. :D

It is a good point, who says the apache has any fuel in it. Hell who said it was an attack helicopter, for all we know its a news chopper from CNN :p
 
If you watched the stream they said they have made it so it would be nearly impossible to kill late game units with early game ones.

The files activated through the proxy, but it was only downloading at 6 kbps. I turned off the proxy and changed to my normal internet:

I suspect you'll just be able to play a demo version. But I'd love to hear if I'm incorrect. I'm dling the demo now - all 4 gig of it.

No, this is the actual the full pre loaded game that was unencrypted and is installing, not the demo.

It says now available too.

Doing first time setup now wheeeeeeee!!!!! HURRY UP!!"!!



ready to click play!!!

Steps to getting it to work -

1) Unencypt files over the proxy
2) Turn off proxy to get the game update at full internet speed
3) Turn on proxy again and unencrypt some more
4) Hit offline mode, open Civ V from your steam folder.

And it works.

If this is true I'm leaving work now and going home :p

I pre-loaded the other day so it's ready to go !

Looking at that pic the text does suggest it is playable now and for the rest of the world on the 23rd!

Thanks. :)

Ah, this is why I love steam...

Hammer the download demo button. Nothing doing.

Put that in Internet Explorer address bar for lack of any other ideas. It works?!


3.9gb. That's serious business! I'm just glad my new ISP has a slightly faster download speed than BT did. Now, let's eat some bandwidth.

No bother, it's taken 1hr 10mins this end via that link, just prepping now, cant wait!
 
Preloaded mine the other day too, took a massive 8 mins to download ;)

So the proxy thing works eh? Intriguing. Think I'll wait til the 24th though anyway.
