              I guess we'll change to big fat circle instead of BFC.

                  I feel like I just won the lottery

                  Hex based maps, looks good.

                  'Unprecidented modding tools', 'unlimited options for modifying Civilization 5' - This makes me a very happy person.

                    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                      To quote the AV Club, I am cautiously optimistic.

                        If r=2, I counted 19 hexes vs 21 squares.

                          Before looking at the links:
                          I'm not sure I'm ready for CV yet. I've only recently gotten to the point where I occasionally take a week off from playing civ mid-game (I usually take a week off BETWEEN my 50-100+ hour games). With Hephmod and my additional xml modding, I am rather satisfied.

                          Post link: Not much info yet. Of course, hexagons are great, but I'm sure I'll need at least a new graphics card.

                          A game CAN be realistic AND fun and replayable. It just takes more work on the game designers' part.

                              Great news.

                              I liked this, from the IGN link:
                              war feels "more massive" and includes ranged bombardment from behind front lines.
