400 Turns of Civilization V

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-what-about-the-grid dept.

Wes found a preview of one of the most anticipated upcoming releases by the inhabitants of my office: Civ V. It starts "This preview of Civilization V is incomplete. It takes more than nine Earth hours, you see, for the great Arabian empire — land of Mecca, Rio De Janeiro and Beijing — to assume dominance of the globe."

    I'm about to blow your mind. In the previous versions, if you can figure out how to use the number pad (or mouse) instead of your arrow keys, you can move diagonally. Woah.
