Apolyton has missed the release of Civilization V: Gods and Kings
Apolyton has missed the release of Civilization V: Gods and Kings, and with us the rest of the world except the guys from squidoo. If we believe them than Civilization 5: Gods and Kings "was released June 19 in North America and June 22 internationally." 
(Emphasis by me). So that was last year or what!
What else do we learn from them:
They have "some kick ass strategies" to win the game. Even so I just find the "Babylonian Science Victory" strategy in the article.
They mention that the combat system has been changed in two aspects, first you get now WW1 units, which is actually not a change in combat system but rather closing a gap in the timeline. The other thing is the introduction of new melee ships that can capture other ships, that's pretty interesting. Then there are huge tanks for land war and you get planes before WW2.
And the real substance of this article are the system requirements:
