  • First Civ5 DLC will be available Late 2010

    In what appears to be an advertorial from Direct2Drive at the English IGN the first available DLC for Civilization V has been mentioned! "gamers who pre-order Civilization V through D2D will also receive the first Double Civilization and Scenario Pack downloadable content when it is made available post-release, currently scheduled for late 2010 (a $10 value)." For completeness sake: The Babylonian Civilization with Nebuchadnezzar II as leader will ship with this sale as well!

      I posted that in your thread...

      WTF is this? Is there a place I can buy the complete game? What's with this "DLC" nonsense? This content is already made. They are keeping it out of the release so they can package it in a $10 expansion! Oh, and they are keeping the Babylonians out but I can buy a "Deluxe Edition" for $10 more? Are they seriously trying to rip me off?

      So is this going to end up being a $70 game? $80?

      I was going to pre-order this right now. Now I'm going to wait and see what the deal is.

      Enough with the shenanigans!

      What're the chances this is an inside joke for Apolyton?

  • Do you Ever Move Your First Settler?
    by Aeson
    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 Settler to in a couple of turns or less. A river hill is is hard to pass up moving to. The extra production from the hill will pay off the first move very quickly.

    How about you? In what circumstances do you feel moving the Settler is a good idea?...
