Sid Meier's Civilization V |

On the 21st, a single day before FFXIV's collector's edition release, Civilization V will be launching. Many of my friends and I are huge fans of the series (and strategy games in general), and personally, I've already bought and pre-loaded the game on Steam. Is anyone else gonna be getting the game? I'd like to have a ton of people to play it with. Big Grin

On a related note, how many people use Steam? I was thinking perhaps a Steam ID directory thread could be made, or perhaps merged with the XBL/PSN directory.

I've wanted to get into it but my time is always split between other games. (On top of that, the Ubisoft DRM puts me off a bit too.)

I've never tried a Civilization game. This installment will be my first! I probably will not be making the purchase until I've refinanced my house Tongue

Uh... Civ isn't Ubisoft? Firaxis is a subsidary of 2k games and if you were refering to Ubisoft's DRM on their games it has nothing to do with steam either. In fact Valve is forcing them to remove their proprietary DRM in favor of the Steamworks framework for all future releases on Steam.

Anyways,

I've been waiting for Civ V forever~ My friends and I used to play 4 in a LAN every week back in college : ) It was great fun. I imagine I'll probably (if my compy can handle it...) have it and FFXIV running at the same time. It'll give me something to do when idling in-game for whatever reason.

I stand corrected. I was basing it off of information I heard a good while. While I said Ubisoft, I heard that Civ V would take the same steps. Apparently not. Tongue

I'd better not get it.

Because if I start playing a Civ game, I will do NOTHING ELSE for weeks. Tongue

Oh, I am so getting Civ V. I've played the series since the original, and I plan to take over the world so hard. This iteration of the series looks fantastic as well. A shame it comes out so close to XIV, as I've never been too good at time management









..sorry got distracted.

So I'll have to get my game ID out to you other players! Once we hit our 8 hours, we can hop on Civ and you can see what happens when Ragnar goes medieval.

With the addition of tactical combat finally (FINALLY!!!) and city-states that won't declare war on you that you could actually try to get along with I am thinking this Civ might be quite good and not have some of the issues that have always turned me off of the past games.

The release date though has postponed a purchase. No point to buy it, play it day one, then shelve it for a long time for me.

They would have done well to have released it earlier.

I am horribly tempted. I loved IV, and I'm sad that I won't be getting V because I'll be playing XIV too much. Tongue

Get it, get it, get it.

Civ is always one of my fave games, and this new one looks like it's just doing everything right. This and FFXIV will be killing me this week, good thing I have a light school load!

I'll probably pick this up when I get back from vacation at the end of October.

I usually neglect my military in favor of cultural wins. In fact, I don't think I've ever conquered the world through military. I always feel bad. I prefer cultures joining mine by choice.

They've finally fixed that. They've made it mathematically impossible for ancient era units to destroy modern era stuff. Also, when you attack a unit, it might not necessarily die outright even if you win; you'll more likely just sorely weaken it.

I should probably get my Steam ID in the directory thread... I tried adding Tadir to my friend list, but he either didn't notice, didn't recognize me, or doesn't want me on his friends D:
My SN there is sweetidealism, too, but the login ID is the200x. So, look for me! I definitely want to throw down with everyone. Big Grin

Oh. I'm new to steam and am not sure how to add friends on it. >_>

And you used kimiji, not tadir, right?
