Beating Civ 'by the book'
Using a "Monte Carlo" search framework, researchers have used a programmed algorithm runs a series of simulated FreeCiv games, in order to evaluate the possible utility of various moves. Through multiple iterations, the algorithm develops a sense for identifying the best move. Simulating evolution, the algorithm will sporadically insert a random move in order to sample alternative, possibly better possibilities. ... -

Civilization V 1.0.1.332 patch has been released
The latest Civilization V patch v. 1.0.1.332 has been released. The patch adds the long-waited-for HotSeat mode for multiplayer, adds a replay option, and addresses a lot of balance issues.
[NOTES]- Pacing has received a large amount of work. Expect to have more of a challenge managing your empire at higher difficulty levels than you did before. Consider dropping a difficulty level if you have problems.
- Existing saves will work correctly. However, the balance pass may make your existing happiness lower than expectedTechnology when loading into your existing save post-patch.

June/July Patch Notes for Civilization V
Greg "2K" Laabs posted the following message on the Official Civ5 Forums:
"Happy Friday everyone! Friday is already an awesome day of the week, but I am here to make this one just that much better, and the way I'm going to do that is by giving you the full patch notes for the upcoming patch.
As has started to become tradition, these notes come with an intro straight from the devs' own mouth (well, email client):
Greetings from the Civ V team! Another couple of months have passed, and the team has been busy continuing to refine and improve the game based on your feedback. Aside from the already-announced additions of Hot-Seat and Replays, an entire balance pass has been integrated into the game. New features, gameplay systems, and Diplomacy modifiers have all been added. AI refinements continue as well, and the AI is now better than ever at challenging the player. As we move into summer, we’ll continue to bring new and exciting additions to Civ V, including improvements to Multiplayer, and other core areas of the game. Your continued engagement and feedback is what drives the team to keep working, and to make Civ V everything that our fans expect, and for that, we thank you.
And before anyone asks, the ETA is still the same as before: late June or possibly early July."
Full patch notes after the break.

by AesonAn 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?...-

Here is the list with full patch notes highlighted are the things that were not in the announcement earlier this year:
BUG FIXES
General- Mod Browser - The "Get Mods" button is now hidden if the user has disabled the steam overlay.
Civilizations and Traits- Ottoman naval upkeep is now fixed. Save games that were started before the fix will not be corrected.
- German UA and Oligarchy social policy now work together correctly.
City States- Mercantile CS now only get a unique luxury for their first city (and not the cities they conquer). Unique luxury is removed upon capture (players can no longer get it by taking over a CS). Unique luxury is given back upon liberation.
- Prevent double counting of resources when an improvement is gifted to a minor civ, then the minor civ techs up to activate the improvement.
