Not that big actually. About 5 GB I think.
I really hate timed demos. Just Cause 2, Mafia 2, now Civ 5.
Never played a Civ game before and somewhat followed Civ 5, watching gameplay videos, reading interviews etc. Tried the demo and just after I settled a second city the damn "buy the full game" thing popped up.
Did like what I was able to play though. Probably just going till wait to the Xmas Steam sales to get it, as well as everything else I've skipped so far this year.
Speaking of which, raiding is going to suck tonight, because I'll just be thinking about how could be playing Civ V instead
Does the boxed retail copy have a manual?
20 more minutes then a 40 minute drive home. Fuck this place.
One gripe so far, I have dual monitors, and when you mouse to the edge of the screen it moves the game map. That is great, but when you mouse to the edge of the screen which borders the 2nd monitor the mouse pops out of the game and onto my 2nd monitor, instead of scrolling the game. I'd prefer for the mouse to be "locked" into the game like it is in WoW.
*shakes his copy from wally's world* it should
From YouTube:
I got it on disk and looks like its the same as in Supreme Commander 2 - the disk just unlocks the download from Steam which is getting hammered right now and showing at 45 minute download. This approach annoys me.
I did not have a good first play which kind of worries me.
I was playing on a lower level difficulty and couldn't even keep up with the Barbarians. Every turn I would get 2-3 popups warning me about barbarian settlements. As soon as I wiped one out 2 more would pop up. I just couldn't keep up and they were constantly wiping out my workers and scouts. I couldn't even get my build times down so it was taking me 20+ just to build a worker only to get killed two turns later.
Hopefully I just got screwed on my starting area.
Nah, Civ is pretty much completely sandbox. You make up your own story for your Civ through your actions. That's the beauty of it to it's fans, but admittedly it's not for everyone.Never played a Civ game before so I went through all the tutorials which were set up pretty well. I beat the main tutorial mission without really knowing what I'm doing but I just burned Moscow down cause the Russian chick was giving me attitude .
I started the single player game but it seems like it just assigns you a random leader and throws you on a random map? I thought there would be a campaign mode for each leader that explores the pivotal events of their rule. I figured the single player would be something along the lines of the Age of Empires campaign or am I totally wrong .
What's the reason you can't stack units together? That's annoying.
That was by design, saw the YouTube video explaining that apparently players though it overweighted things. I've dabbled with Civ IV, not much of a strategy game player but this actually might be something to pick up. Does it work with multi-monitor?
Been told yes it does, there is a demo on Steam now that should also support it if you want to see how your particular system looks.
