[quote=DillButt64]i would if someone is willing to buy it for me, along with a computer that can run it without dying i heard it was good and i like games like it even though ive only played a few types of games like that[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Add me on Steam! seeminglymeaningless. Bought the latest expansion a few days ago, but haven't had a chance yet to play it. I heard that the new trade route system and tourism system are great ^^[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael]I love it! Haven't played it in a while and the most recent expansion I have is Gods and Kings, but I think that one is outdated by now. I would play it more but I can't stand the faster modes and epic mode is my favorite but the matches take literally over 15 hours against decent AI and on the largest maps. Also I don't like the multiplayer because nobody will stay in a game for the whole duration unless it's the fastest game mode, which I don't like as much as the others. It's one of my favorite games of all time, though, and I think I'd be willing to play if other people are (and not 1v1, I'm quite horrible). I've checked out BNW, might buy it since I've been wanting better/different diplomacy for a while and new money seems interesting. Also I would be very welcoming to a change to the way the AI reacts to you and stuff, I mean most of the time AI will refuse any trade even if it's like 30 Iron for 1 gold. The new trade routes seem cool also. Some of the new civs seem cool also, but from what I've read isn't Venice just a downgraded Austria? And the tourism seems a little odd and I'm not sure I agree with it, especially since you can really only win with it near the end of the game and the other victories go much faster. EDIT : Also, does anybody have a problem with the AI playing as Greece? They always seem to hate me when I play. India has some weird personality also. Well they all do, just Greece hates me more than others and India is just particularly weird from my experience.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]venice gets 1. only one city 2. cannot annex cities 3. may purchase units/buildings in puppeted cities 4. double the amount of trade routes 5. merchant of venice unique unit (replaces great merchant, gains extra gold on a city state mission or can be used to puppet a city state) 6. great galleass, which is a stronger version of the galleass. while it might look like a downgraded austria, venice is probably one of the most unique civs in civ5 currently. and yes tourism does take a while (especially if other civs are going culture/tourism victory too), but it is a much better system than 'stare at the policy trees until you can get utopia' in general, brave new world was aimed at improving the late game, while g&k was aimed at improving the early game.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]Bought it while it was on sale and finally got to play it today. Started on the tutorial (which I found pretty lacking), and just kinda played with it. I was pretty surprised when I saw GANDHI'S ARMY (what lol?) confront me! Played it for 3 hours when I really shouldn't have, had a lot of trouble saving but finally decided to save. Couldn't find the save option. Started feeling crazy. WHAT YOU CAN'T SAVE TUTORIAL GAMES?! Effff.... those 3 hours, I was going to take the Byzantines to glory! I don't have a good idea of how the multiplayer works. It took me 3 hours to get to the medieval age so I'm concerned how long it would take, haha. Really fun game though and I hope to play it more, might add some of you guys if I find I want to play against real people![/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Mowen, it's a great game and I'm glad you tried it out :D There's a running joke that Gandhi is the most aggressive and non-peaceful AI, despite his real-world persona. Multiplayer is somewhat easier, as you share technology and generally resources and religion etc. However, if you have a bad player on your team, they can drag your team score down. If they make dumb decisions, like waging war on the strongest enemy team, you'll probably be doomed.[/quote]

[quote=Arcana3]I've been playing the super old version of civ on the xbox. Civ revolution. Loll so hard on deity... THE POWER THOSE AI HAVE. I need to get a computer that can run civ, heard its super fun, better then civ 4 in some respects. Does anyone know if they added mod support yet?[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael]Mod support was there right at the release and now it has steam workshop and the mod community is huge, there's pretty much everything[/quote]
