Will you buy a new computer for Civ5?

[Blaupanzer]

I'm pretty sure I can assure you that Civ5 will be a new animal and not significantly like Civ3 or Civ4, other than still being a GOD Game. The hex tiles and 1UPT pretty much makes this a no brainer.

I was referring to the broken nature of 3 that left me playing Civ 2 instead until the 2nd expansion tamed some of the most tedious and off-putting game design elements.

Is 1UPT going to be common parlance? Took me a minute to figure it out...wanted to go with "upkeep per turn" or something, rather than "unit per tile."

It seems to have gained momentum in all the posts I'm seeing which is why I used it as well.

Well I don't think anyone can answer that for you, as that falls into the category of "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".

I already bought a new computer to play BeJewled and Pong 2 so I am good to go...

Looks like I will probably change my vote. My Desktop is only 5 months old, but my laptop is from 2005. I need a new one anyway.

GIVE ME SYSTEM SPECS!!!!

(please? )

Just get a gaming laptop, they will be the only ones with dedicated video chips that will be good enough for a DX11 game. This is what I just bought http://asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=bplbQOy6w8myYSq5 For instance

Gaming Laptops cost more money. If money wasn't a factor, the last laptop I bought wouldn't have been over 5 years ago.

True but if you buy a business or general home or student laptop your for sure going to get an integrated intel video chip in 90% of them, and even with the latest intel chip it may be a crap shoot as to if it will run Civ5.

Mine was $1600 USD, but I have it on a no interest plan so it didn't hit my pocket book to hard

I'll be surprised if Civ V can't run on this computer... ok, it's not the newest computer I have, but it can play Crysis on high settings (don't remember how high... but high)
