  Do you Ever Move Your First Settler?

  An interesting article at The Escapist about Civilization and some of the goings-on behind the scenes at Firaxis:
  
  http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...s-Civ-V-Studio I have a lot of problems with the methods Firaxis tested this with. Turning off barbs, limiting AI expansion ... those are two critical factors for how big an impact waiting to found your first city will be. I myself like to move the other unit first, see if there's a good spot to move ...

  The Civilization 5 patch 1.0.1.674 brings the new Steam Workshop to Civilization 5. The patch adds font icon and unit art moddability to Civ5.

  Civilization 5 gets into the Steam Workshop

  The Steam Workshop comes to Civilization 5. The Steam Workshop replaces the Civ5 in-game mod selection feature for everybody whether you have installed Gods and Kings or not. The Steam Workshop does not only allow you to browse the available mods in-game but also when you are not running the game from the Steam Workshop Website. There you can find a mod you really like and check out what the author else made, and follow the author to see what else the author will release in the future. There you can create a collection of mods and share them with your friends. And even you like a mod but don't want to install it right now, you can mark and track it for later. If yo...
