The clip of the Firaxis RTS shows off some of the game's. To celebrate, 2K's released the launch trailer. If you thought Civ 5 was a great game already then you'll enjoy this, but IMO Civ 4 did both of these systems better. In case no one got the memo, Civilization V launches today in the UK. That makes the whole system really limited and passive. Spies are really limited in what they can do, and since tech stealing is so prevalent you'll want to use a couple to defend against it pretty much all the time. Great prophets have no other real use then spreading religion, unlike other great people (who you can buy with faith later, likely added because the points would be virtually worthless once the religion is buffed up otherwise). With Sid Meier's Civilization V looming on the horizon, the support group Civilization Anonymous. Since diplomacy is so schitzophrenic you can ignore it for that purpose, and it spreads on its own (eventually), or you can use a missionary or great prophet to speed it up. You pick some buffs, then you can pretty much ignore it. You know, like every other system in the game. Religion in particular is built around yet another pool of points that you gather up from buildings, then spend on stuff. The level IV rifle armor is a 10X12, single curve, shooters cut, multi-hit, silicon carbide plate. The new systems don't feel well integrated. It is also the lightest rifle plate on the market weighing in at just 5.8 lbs. Depending on what you think of Civ 5, that'll either be a good thing or a bad thing. Definitely get this if you like Civ 5, it will make you fall in love again because of all the new strategies you are able to do. The new units and combat revamp add a lot of life and depth back into war and the city state changes were all around a huge upgrade. It's still alright because it allows you to do some unorthodox strategies that you simply wouldn't have been able to do before espionage, but ultimately it is very shallow. The espionage system, sadly, is not as cool. It really opens up a ton of strategies that weren't possible before. The new religion is really cool and offers a lot of diversity to how you play the game. So far I've played it almost 10 hours playing 3 games with 3 different Civ's. But if you do like Civ 5 this expansions is great.
If you don't like Civ 5 this probably won't change anything for you and I highly doubt anything ever will, honestly. I listen to Civ podcasts all the time, i watch let's plays and I have over 500 hours in Civ 4 and 700 in Civ 5. I listen to Civ podcasts all the time, i watch let's plays and I have over 500 hours in Civ 4 and 700 To start this off: I am a HUGE Civ fan.
