  • News about the upcoming Civ5 patch!

    Greg "2K" Laabs has posted a new list of changes for the upcoming patch on the Official 2k Forums. This patch will focus on AI and Diplomacy. "First up is news about what the primary direction of the next patch is going to be: AI and Diplomacy. This is not to say that these will be the only parts of the game under the microscope, but it will be the focus. We're constantly looking at feedback on all parts of the game though, so keep your reports and feedback coming!" Greg posted. There's no ETA of the patch yet.

    List of updates:
    AI

    • Worker AI improvements.
    • Update to tactical AI pillaging code. Additionally, always check to make sure it’s not trying to pillage in an enemy dominance zone.
    • AI victory emphasis improvements (more efficient end-game when focusing on Science and Diplo victories).
    • AI should colonize other continents regularly.
    • AI will emphasize production of an Ocean going explorer unit when the time comes.
    • Adjust Napoleon to make him more likely to go for culture.
    • More aggressive second wave expansion (mostly off shore) after initial empire building and consolidation has occurred.
    • Optimization when finding routes (pathfinder improvement).
    • Multiple tweaks and bug fixes.
    • AI will now build ranged and mobile units more in line with the flavor settings.
    • Multiple defensive AI tweaks.


    GAMEPLAY
    • Cities heal more quickly.
    • Only allow one upgrade per unit from a goody hut.


    UI
    • Tweaked the single-player score list to hide the civs of unmet ai players.


    DIPLO
    • AI's attitude towards you is now visible in the diplo screen and diplo drop-down.
    • Added info tooltip for an AI leader's mood. Lists things that are making an AI player happy/upset.
    • New diplo system: Declaration of Friendship (public declaration with diplomatic repercussions).
    • New diplo system: Denounce (public declaration with diplomatic repercussions).
    • New custom leader responses (Serious Expansion Warning, Aggressive Military, Luxury Exchange, Borders Exchange, Gift Request).


    MODDING
    • Parent category counts now include counts of child categories.
    • Selecting/deselecting a category now automatically selects/deselects it's children and its parent.
    • Tweaked category name truncation to better fit names.
    • Hide categories w/ no children and a count of 0.
    • Added support for fallback languages (if mod is not translated, fall-back to English so text keys are not showing).


    MISC
    • Fixed save format which causes saves to increase the memory footprint of the game drastically when loading frequently over the course of the game.

    • Civ V, Multiplayer - the future
      by ·Imhotep·


      Now Civ V is out for roughly 5 months and a lot of people have stated their opinion about the game. Some have expressed that they are content with the game, and that they have a lot of fun with it. Others - and seemingly the majority of players - have stated that the game is a failure in most aspects, and that they have put it aside after a few months or weeks even. I'm not going to give judgement on who is right on this matter, I'll just describe my own view on the game in general and most of all in regards to an aspect I have deeply loved with Civ IV - the Multiplayer side of the game.

    • Free DLC for D2D customers scheduled for December 2010
      by Snakpakk

      Snakpakk, Community Manager of Direct2Drive, posted in our forums in response to his questions about the 'free DLC' for D2D customers:

      "Here is the deal on the Civ 5 DLC:
      The Mongols Civilization and Scenario Pack- is a free gift from 2K for all the Civ fans out there. Due out October 25
      The Babylonian Civ pak- gives none Deluxe version owners the ability to play as Babylonians (deluxe owners already have this) Due October 25th for $4.95

      If you pre-ordered from D2D then your free DLC is due out in December. Sadly I don't have details on that yet but keep a eye on D2D's main page for the announcement. Hope this helps clear the air.

    • Genghis Khan released as FREE DLC on October 25th!
      by Robert

      The first DLC for Civilization V will arrive on October 25th and distributed through Steam! A free new civilization and leader, Genghis Kahn of the Mongols, will be released together with a Scenario Pack for free! As a gift in answer to the "Civ Fanatics" who are "very well organized". Perhaps in response to the many troubles people had with Civ5 so far. That gift is highly appreciated!

      According to a screenshot on joystick.com the Mongols ability is: "Mongol Terror", which means: "Combat strength +30% when fighting City-State units or attacking a City-State itself. All mounted units receive +1 movement points"
      The Mongols have two unique units; the well known Keshik and the Khan.

    • Civilization V vs Civilization IV v Civilization III - A brief set of thoughts
      by Skybird

      Having played Civilization I, II, III, and IV constantly since they were first released, and through the various incarnations of Warlords, Beyond the Sword etc., but having never played Civilization Revolution, I was looking forward with a great deal of anticipation to the release of Civilization V. I cannot remember the last time a PC release found me waiting in the damp chill of autumn air outside my local game store before opening, but Civilization V managed it. I know I could have bought it on Steam, but old habits... Having played the new version for the past few days, I would make the following observations:
