Civilization V

Cheers guys, getting the demo now. Can anyone confirm that I will be able to buy this game from anywhere and plug the key into Steam to have it integrated properly for updates etc?

I haven't pre-ordered yet because I want to try it out first :)

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.

What proxy?

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

How long did it take for you to Steam to start? I've been trying to start Steam for fifteen minutes or so now. Monitoring the data transfer through Your Freedom it transfers around 1.57 megabytes before the connection closes and a new one starts. Somekind of timeout I'm not capable of getting through?
 
Just be careful guys, Proxys are against the T&C's and could at the very worse, lead to your account being disabled.

Not being a party pooper, just thought would let people know who didnt allready.

Were all adults so we do things at our own risk :)

same here :mad:
 
Just had my 1st 100 turns, I think its better than 4, especially since there was no hint of religion, which just got stupid. Like the tiling system, graphics are excellent, diplomacy has more purpose, but combat isn't as good and it's unclear what to do when you want to attack a city.

It reckons you need 4 units, so i built 4 units, ranged and melee, however none made a dint, and this was only one of the little villages you can help, befriend etc..
 
omfg I have not been this excited about a game in years.... Sooo tempted to do the proxy thing, but at the same time, will NOT risk my rediculously bloated steam account on it.
 
I will have the demo in 5 mins!

I'm tempted to buy it through the proxy but I don't think i'll bother. I've got the demo to tide me over til Friday.

just read the t&c's - no mention of proxys.

No they arent, theres no mention of them anywhere in the T+Cs.

Its against the T+Cs to pay fraudulently, that is to use a proxy to buy games in another currency.

However, simply logging into your account using a proxy is fine as long as you dont buy anything.
 
I'm still going to just wait til friday for mine to unlock, if I do the proxy thing now I will never manage to get up in time for work tomorrow morning :D , safer to just wait and that way I can come home after work on friday and not have to worry about work the next day !
