Is anyone else having a problem understanding diplomacy? I don't get why the AI never trades 1 luxury resource for one of mine, I always have to throw in a 2nd one to get them to agree.

They very rarely trade a luxury resource if they only have one of them.

A mac version has been announced.

I don't have any details to hand but I think I will stick with 4 on my macbook for Christmas.

Mac version is free if you already bought a PC version.

BULLER

I've just played to the industrial era in a standard size game and my, my what an improvement!

Firstly and most importantly for my style of play, the AI seems much more able when handling battle mechanics; it actually places its ranged units in reasonable positions (most of the time) now!!!
The diplomacy changes cut out the civs begging for peace and giving you everything BS after you've taken just one of their cities. They've fixed the happyness balance issues I had, battles seem more testing, taking cities is definately a lot more challanging- I found myself really thinking about my attack tactics!

I'm absolutely chuffed at this as I really do I had all but given up on this game ever being playable until I downloaded this patch. Just in time for the holidays too

THANKS to the 2K-team for fixing and doing justice to what underneath really is a fantastic game!!

TheChrisD

I could have sworn I posted a rather lengthy post about the new patch already...

Most of the changes are alright, not too keen on reducing cities' ability to overflow happiness into the empire, and the increased healing rate can be quite annoying for conquest.

Also the AI seems to really take denouncing others to heart, and as soon as one person denounces another, it very quickly dissolves into everybody denouncing everybody and thus hating everybody.

There are still a few ideal features that are missing and could do with being changed like foreign trade, and upgrading things like Harbours and Forges to make them less useless than they are, for the most part.

Sephiroth_dude

Have'nt played this in about 2 months must fire it up with the new patch out and all.

Finally got my collectors edition after three months of waiting, but just in time to dodge a march in the snow to the sorting office to collect it.

Just finished my first full game since the last big patch and I absolutely cruised to a diplomatic victory on king level by 1924. Didn't have any wars at all, very boring game really which wasn't difficult at all. Performance was still painfully slow(at least 30 seconds between turns) from about 17/1800 onwards. I was only playing on a small archipelago map with 6 civs/12 city states which makes me not want to bother even playing again

RoyalMarine

does it suffer from bad performance issues like civ 3 did?

after so many turns it takes ages for the cpu turns to be completed?

TheChrisD

Pretty much, yea. The further into the game, the more actions that need to be taken, and thus the longer the waiting between turns is.

Gonzovision

Still unplayable on a huge map with all civs. I haven't played in a while now. Love playing on a huge map, but it gets totally ridiculous after mid game.

Never played a Civ game before, bought this the other day. It's very enjoyable and I'm glad I got it. I still prefer Empire and Napoleon Total War though.

The more you play Civ the more you'll love it. It's like a book you cant put down. I find its got a type replayablility that no other game has. Love the Total War games aswell though!

I'm in a huff about the lack of pbem and its going to sit on my shelf unloved until I get it.

:eek: Are you serious?! Didn't realise anyone actually still played multiplayer via email!! I'm sure that could easily be added in. The only multiplayer I've ever played was hotseat which is a lotta fun. But I view this game as primarily being a single player game, and they've accordingly focused their efforts on that first. I've no doubt that hey will eventually get around to addressing the multiplayer let-downs though.

Ohh quite a number play the game via pbem as a browse on civfanatics will show. Its a different beast of a game when you take the slow boat.

Lafortezza

I played Civ4 BTS for the first time in almost a year recently and it's still such an amazing game. Add a few mods and it simply blows Civ5 out of the water in terms of simple strat fun and replayability.

The biggest problem I have with Civ5 is that once you play a few leaders and play to win most of the different victory conditions then you have played all the variations on offer. Every subsequent game just feels boring and repetitive.

Balmed Out

I think theres a lot thats good in civ5 but the AI is absolutely useless.I mean when you start building a space ship or your allied with most sity states and a un election called wouldnt you think theyd at least try to attack. Also the whole embarking thing, lack of airports and ease of the diplomatic win are annoying.

It's improved but not quite there yet. In fairness, Civ4 was a mess when it first came out as well. I still have hope for this yet. If they at least put pbem into it & allow proper turn based multiplay rather than simultaneous turns, then all is forgiven.

Maximilian

Pitboss & Hotseat coming in the next patch according to 2kGreg. Finally.

The only details I have for you right now is that Pitboss and Hotseat will be coming in a free update. The second I have any sort of ETA or better details I will definitely scream it from the rooftops for everyone to hear, but unfortunately that day is not today.

Maximilian

February patch notes are up here. No mention of pitboss/pbem/hotseat, which is troubling. some interesting changes though.

The upcoming patch will contain some significant balance adjustments to Civ V. We thought it would be a good idea to give everyone a quick run-down on our thoughts behind these changes and a look at what further balance work lies ahead….

This February patch comes at a great time for making balance changes; The five months since Civ V’s release has given us time to analyze reports of dominant strategies and implement and test deeper changes that will better balance the game in several key areas.

Working with our “Frankenstein” gameplay test group, we have been looking closely at the tradeoffs between building a Wide empire (one with lots of smaller cities sprawling across the map) and a Tall empire (one with just a few highly populous, highly productive cities). With this patch you’ll see a number of changes to the economic side of the game to bring these two play styles in closer balance with each other. City spacing, building effects and the Liberty and Tradition policy trees are where the most extensive changes have occurred. We’re now seeing games where a Tall empire can match or even exceed a Wide one in production and science output even deep into the game.

We wanted to improve the effectiveness of buildings. We also wanted to improve how cities interact with the map. Adjustments to terrain have increased production, while buildings that modify production have been adjusted in tune with these changes. You’ll find many buildings to be easier to build, with extra benefits, especially if you’ve settled near beneficial terrain and resources. We've continued to make improvements to pacing, diplomacy, turn times, the AI, and other aspects of the game.

With future patches we’ll continue to iterate through Civ V systems and fine tune the balance of each one. So far we’ve already identified combat, multiplayer, late-game policies, wonders and civilization-unique bonuses as additional areas that will benefit from this sort of attention. And as this journey progresses we promise to keep an ear to the ground for other areas the Civilization community may want us to address. Continued collaboration between community, our gameplay testers, and the development team will be nothing but a win for Civ V.

Asked about pitboss/hotseat and got this reply from 2KGreg:

This is pretty much the final list. It's subject to change slightly but nothing major like gigantic new features.
