[quote who="FadedC" reply="21" id="2801655"] If you look through a large enough message board you will always find some people who agree with any opinion. Civ 5 is getting pretty mixed user reviews at the moment, but the primary reason is the AI. Other issues people have mirror things people complained about in every edition of Civ (and yes every edition of Civ had a very vocal minority that hated it).[/quote] I havent played CIV V and wasnt going to comment on t

I am playing on a Dell laptop with integrated graphics card. That means cloth map only and autoresolve. When I tried the game on a fast computer I found myself zooming out to the clothmap all the time to see better what is real stuff to do/find.

Since a lot of the hardcore CIV fans arent happy, there is a little window the next few months for getting this game back on track and stealing some new strategy gamers from them :) The race is on To be a bit more serious. The changes sounds good and I am looking forward to them. Stay on these roads...
