Preview: How To Beat Three People At Civilization V Multiplayer on Kotaku
Stephen Totilo tells us how to beat three other people in Multiplayer in an early Civilisation V built. However, he made the mistake to place the capital of Arabia into the desert as it is historically accurate, and for performance he turned super shiny graphics off so that the fog of war looks a little bit hexagonial, but in the end he won, though it was not a time, science, domination, culture, nor diplomatic victory, but just a score victory.

Civilization 5 Demo available on Civ5 release day
Today Firaxis announced when the Civilization V Demo will be released. It will be available on September 21th, which is also the release date of the full game in North America. The release date of the game itself remains unchanged.
The demo-date being pushed back is explained on the civilization5.com website: "The question many of you are probably asking now is “didn’t you say it would be available before the release date?” The answer to that question is yes, I did. At the time of that announcement, we expected to be able to get the demo out before the 21st, but unfortunately we weren’t able to finalize it in the timeframe we had initially planned, and for that we’re very sorry."

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?...March 1, 2014, 00:41 -
joystiq reports that Civilization V may get another expansion, based on a listing in the Steam Apps Database. Neither Firaxis nor 2K Games commented on this finding.

Civilization 5 Patch 1.0.2.13 has been released. That is the big patch announced for this fall. It contains many fixes and tweaks and also support for Windows 8 touch screen support. 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.
