Will buy blindly but......
The step from 3 to 4 was a sidegrade i thought. Graphically superior but i felt it lost something in 4, i hope 5 is a perfect mix of 3-4 but with new elements too.
Did they ever fix the Mace man killing an Apache helicopter thing?

Another AAA game for PC this year. Thats at least 7 i can think of now (NTW is AAA for me) doubt xbox or PS3 have had so many AAA games this year. Seriously too many games for me to play!!
EDIT: Anyone seen cheap preorder prices??
Can't wait...wish they'd bringback Elvis and the throne room from Civ II though.
( never play anything online crysis cod candc etc )I've played 1 3 and 4 and liked each

On the plus, I really like the idea's behind the hexagonal tiles, reverting back to one unit a tile (to the extreme of one no matter what civ this time) and the mini city states thing. I think the city states thing will fill the problem of when you get landed with only 3 or 4 big civs in an area and diplomacy became very predictable....
Love Sid himself being the cleaner
This would be a day 0 buy for me, but my birthday is a few days after the 21st so I will see if the missus will preorder it through steam for me
(As opposed to me buying it myself)Agreed. The throne room and advisors were awesome.
It would be cool if there was a huge variety in the throne room, and that in each game you played it would be developed based on the strategy and gameplay that you use.
When I play a civilization game, I always take the suggested research option because a part of me knows the computer has a better idea of how to win.
Im almost frightened of not taking the suggested option, is this why I get owned online?
