[Snotty]

Hey guys, im super psyched as civilization 5 comes out next week! I love this series and Im sure some of you do to.

There was a live 2 hour ustream preview last night, I was literally on the edge of my seat for 2 hours. You can catch of a recording of it if you missed it

Once Ive had the game a couple of days if any of you need some advice on strategy or getting started then just let me know

Snotty - long time. I'm glad you have not lost your enthusiasm for all things Civilization. Now, are we ever going to finish that Civ 3 PBEM game?

Shogun, allways was a pleasure playing with you, I was never on your level but even in defeat learned yet another small piece in the puzzle that is the Civ Genre!!! I do hope CIV 5 is a step forward!!!

Hi Grandpa Troll - good to see you again.

[Snotty]

Hey SG, good to see you again Im still flying the civilization flag, and always will be

I still feel bad about droppping out of that pbem, that islands game ranks as one of my most unique civ memories. I dont know why I dropped. I remember apologizing the 1 of the 2 pbems i dropped, I hope that made the difference.

I sincerely hope I get to pit my wits against you fine gentlemen, or at least compare notes, this time around

[Shogun Gunner]

No problem Snotty! No apology required. My understanding is Civ4 and Civ 5 both improved the mechanics of multiplayer. I never had a chance to try out MP on Civ4. One downside of the improvements is how it took people away from Poly.

Civilzation 5 is the love child of a secret between 4 and Dating Civilization Civilization Revolution. It is a game that share genetic markers for PC and console iterations of the franchise fortunately got the best of both with a good pair mutations. Civ 5 has the epic feel we expect from the PC series but so much of what has been simplified for the better, the influence of the revolution is undeniable.
