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."

    but I think the consensus was that Civ IV was a flop

    Source?

    Anecdotal, obviously, but I don't know anyone who doesn't think 4 is the best one. I'm still playing it regularly (some single player, some multi with wife + friends) and if 5 isn't great I probably won't stop.

      Let's change the slashdot moderation system to use roman numerals just to piss off Daetrin.
