That's what I was thinking?
Boob Tank?
Strange as the box art shows 18? That's what confused me?

I've not had that yet, I'm on turn 674 of a massive, marathon, gemini level game. The ruskies declared war on me, 2 of my friendly nations denounced them for it, I battled the ruskies for several turns and eventually the 2 friendly nations came into the war on my side. I made a move on a nearby russian city and one of my allies sent over a swathe of his units to help out. I captured the russian city, the russians carried on for a bit and then sued for peace. I came out of it smelling of roses

Played under an hour tonight. Civ isn't a game you can play (sensibly) whilst inebriated. It looked sharp though.
The thing that annoyed me was the way they have shifted the HUD about. I mean, I know they want me think 'wow this is all new', but really all you've done is put minimap in a new position. All it does is annoy the hardened Civ player.

The UI needs a bit of love, but the core game? I'm really enjoying it.
Love the expedition feature of the explorers, scouting in Civ 5 used to be manually move for dozen or so turns to get the early huts then auto explore/forget.
With the miasma there is a lot more micro of explorers early game which makes it lots of fun from the get go.
Love the tech web and the quest system, but not sold on the stations yet, they seem less value early game than internal trade routes to get your cities moving.
Can't wait to give it a longer try, typically on a 6 day run at work from when it was released.

I think that price was for a Russian version which needs a VPN.

Anyone else think they borrowed a lot of the UI and game mechanics from Endless Legend ?
Watching a load of YT vids and the whole quest system, UI and tech tree looks quite similar. I guess you could also say Endless Legend did borrow stuff from previous Civ games.
Damn! I want to buy this but just won't have the time to get into atm.

It's £22
Where?
Nuuvem has it at £21
'looks to be' maybe, but I'd play it before judging, although there are obviously a lot of similarities I find it to be very different.

Put about 3 hours in. First impressions not great.
Turns taking too long. 30 seconds is way longer than CIV5 which has bigger maps and more civs that only took a few seconds.
Nothing has happened in my game. No alien attacks, no wars no nothing.
AI wants everything I have for a 'favour'.
Tech tree. Whilst I like the design, it's not presentable and I don't know what to strive for. I.E in CIV5 they had a picture icon of what you could build prior to researching. Now I have to read the text.
More boring than CIV5 by a long shot.
