There are 18 civilizations in Civ5 vanilla and 4 additional as downloadable content, each with its own leader and unique unit. In addition, every leader has a semi-unique "personality", consisting of traits that determine their in-game behavior. For example, Elizabeth of the English, a historical naval power, emphasizes a pursuit of naval dominance and the choices she makes reflects this desire. However, in order to prevent leaders from becoming too-predictable, these traits have the potential to be changed slightly and weighted differently before a new game begins, keeping diplomacy fresh. ...

The Civ 5 AI isn't brilliant, but it's smart enough to tear you apart if you play badly. A victorious player plans both strategy -- the long term goals and methods of a war -- and tactics -- the methods used to achieve these goals.

give it ****ty graphics, i don't care. just let me freaking play.
i'm even willing to pay the usual sum
beats buying a new computer
Late game, on a standard map (the only size I've played so far), there are very minor refresh issues when scrolling to an area that hasn't been displayed since game start, but nothing annoying. Computer turns are taking maybe 30 seconds, again, not bad enough to be annoying.
I don't know what my settings are, I've just been playing with the settings the game defaulted to when I installed.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the game's performance on my slightly over minimum spec system.
