  • Next Civ5 patch coming before Christmas?

    On 2kgames forums 2k Greg announced:

    Hey dudes,

    I want to confirm to you that our plans for Civilization V are far from done. Another patch is currently in the works (QA is doing a pass on it now and I'll have more details soon) and there are some much bigger plans we hope to announce in the coming months.
    This gives much to speculation. What will it contain: Maybe PBEM, Pitboss. Will we see it before Christmas. And what are those bigger plans will we see an expansion set?

      Looks like Pitboss won't come too soon. I guess it is simple that they didn't include it from the start. They simply didn't finish it, and they had other priorities, after all Firaxis is a company for making money. After all they decided, whether it was a good or bad decision is another question.

      Yup and 2K Greg says it's all about multiplayer. Which means nothing to me but that might excite some. Well, perhaps "excite" is too strong a response for a feeble attempt to fix multiplayer on a game that came out last year.

      It's going to take more than a "patch" to fix MP.

  • 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?...
