Civilization V
ackblom12:
This game will consume my life like every other iteration and it'll be the first Civ game to impress me with it's graphics!
I am excited as all hell.
DavidGrohl:
Wow, even as slow paced as their explanatory playing was, the game looked amazing and fun. The combat specifically looks fantastically fun.
ackblom12:
Unlocked now bitches!
DavidGrohl:
Bushido is amazing. Also, The Great Library slingshot works wonders. Basically race to the tech, build it, get the following tech as the free tech, and you get a free civic. Damn. Playing on Noble atm. Germany is being a real pain in the ass.

Ok, I've been playing pretty much non stop and thus far my favorite thing is to become the City State God Emperor. Once I can clear my own area out I tend to have 1 - 3 citys that do nothing but pump out units as quickly as possible. I gift every single unit to an allied city state or 3 on an opponent's continent and then declare war, sit back and watch the notices of cities being razed and taken over while I laugh maniacally.
Having an entire continent being owned by a city state who is also gifting you all of that continent's resources without having to pay unhappiness? Glorious.
Now on to more serious things. There are very few things in general I don't love about this game thus far. Alll of the Civs feel quite powerful and I haven't played all of them yet, I haven't run into a single one that I've found to be a chore to play. I think my favorite thus far is probably Greece due to my already stated love of City State manipulation. That and their horseman UU (Unique Unit) is amazing. I suspect it might be nerfed a bit in a patch honestly, but then again the Roman Praetorians in IV never were so it's quite possible they will stay as is, at least until an expansion.
For me, the hardest thing by far to adjust to is/was the new economic and happiness system. It's a bit rough going from Civ IV's focus on early game fast expanding up to 5 - 6 cities to Civ V where fast expanding is 3 cities.
I guess some people were fearing the game would be averaging a smaller map size than IV but I can assure you that is not true at all. The maps feel a lot larger to me, but with the extra movement of units and the expanded workable tile size of cities, standard maps are probably roughly the same relative size. Might feel a little crowded at your starting point if you have a couple of city states and civs nearby, but once you start exploring it becomes very apparent how large the world is.
It's got some bugs still and needs a bit of polish with some patching, but this is the norm for a new civ releases so no big surprise there.
Also the game really is gorgeous.
