An Early Look At Civilization V

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday March 10, 2010 @11:02PM from the new-and-shiny dept.

c0mpliant writes "IGN and Gamespot have each released a preview of the recently announced and eagerly awaited Civilization V. Apart from the obvious new hexagon shape of tiles and improved graphics, the articles go on to outline some of the major changes in the game, such as updated AI, new 'flavors' to world leaders, and a potentially game-changing, one-unit-per-tile system. No more will the stack of doom come to your city's doorsteps. Some features which will not be returning are religion and espionage. The removal of these two have sparked a frenzy of discussion on fan-related forums."

I'm glad they got rid of religion. Hopefully we can get rid of it in this world too.

  If you believe it enough, I'm sure it'll happen.

  My bet is the first mod adds it back in.
  Voltaire would think so; since God does not exist, it will be necessary to invent him
