Civ 5 Will Let You Import and Convert Civ 4 Maps

bbretterson writes "From an interview Bitmob conducted with Civilization 5 Lead Designer Jon Shafer: 'You can import Civ 4 maps into the world builder and convert them into Civ 5 maps, including all the units and cities and stuff on it — the conversion process will just do that for you automatically. We're hoping that the first week Civ 5 is out, people will use that function and port all of the Civ 4 stuff over to Civ 5, so everything will be out there already.'"

You cannot always play steam games offline. When steam servers are down, or when you have no internet connection, you cannot go into offline mode. Your games become unplayable in that case. Steam's DRM is another case where pirates have a better gaming experience than paying customers.
