I agree, this patch is going to be a very mixed bag. The production nerf is horrible because we already have to wait FOREVER build stuff and one of the biggest problems to the game is that it already takes too long to build stuff so why reduce production and the rate you make money? Are they trying to make the game as boring as hell?

Oh, TWITCHY FINGERS!

If it gets too slow for you, play at a Quicker speed. I don't play civ5 at the marathon speed I played civ4; epic is slow enough for me. Besides, why would you want to construct buildings you cannot afford?

After Monday we'll be able to find out how accurate all the speculation has been.

I have to a agree... It seems each patch has moved the game down a more boring path.

Thanks to all for the feedback so far.

With CivV, I rarely play at any speed other than Quick myself. It's more than just a well named speed.

Indeed.
