yeah... everyone and they're mom knows this... just buy it
what's your problem? it's a good game, just buy it
>>342884390
Doesn't work on Windows 10 though. And with Civ 6 on the way, there is no chance of a patch.
>>342886395
what
>>342886395
Good, Win10 is shit.
>bought it a few days ago
Why the fuck is this guy such a dick
>>342886395
It does
Also
>using w10
I don't understand this thread. This game goes on sale for that price at least once a month.
>>342886395
>lying on the internet
>>342886395
You were probably missing some DLL.
DX Web installer and VC++ redists.
>>342886719
well I bought this game and one thing I dont understand is why do the countries all have the same ruller.. like for millennia they dont die
>>342886395
>no chance of a patch
hey ya never know, they patched it when Beyond Earth came out, fixed a bug and added a handful of new resources. Though I'll just be playing Civ VI anyway so I don't think I'll be too fussed one way or the other.
>>342887254
Because it's a game
>>342886395
>Doesn't work on Windows 10 though
nigga what
>>342884390
>I bought it years ago on a worse sale
>still haven't played it
>>342886769
God fuck Windows 10. "Limited free upgrade" my ass, now it's forced on everyone. Had to delete a few updates to get rid of that shit. I'm sticking with 8.
>>342884390
I have never played a Civ game, but I do like strategy games.
Should I buy this?
>>342888273
Honestly it's worth but you might not like it. I recommend buying it and then trying it out and if it doesn't satisfy you refund it
>>342888273
Its pretty fun bro.
>>342888273
it's good.
>>342888273
Yes, but you're going to lose your life playing it.
Try the demo out, should be able to find it on Google.

EHHH? NANIII?
>>342886395
>i am too stupid to figure out how to run this game therefor it doesn't work on windows 10
FTFY
Doing add to cart to gift to a friend but for some reason it's not working. Anyone know what is up?
>>342886719
Because he was literally trained since childhood to conquor the world by people like Aristotle and his father who was himself a military genius as well
>>342884390
Didn't the Complete Edition used to cost $50 MSRP?
>>342886602
>>342886769
>>342887996
10 is fine once you configure it right.
>>342888992
N-NANI??? M-MASAKA!!!
firaxis is giving it away so people will buy 6 when it comes out later this year. They did something similar when 5 came out, and 4 complete was essentially given away.
>>342886395
This man is a fucking liar, worked for me without any problems
>>342890104
Good thing 6 looks like dumbed down shit. Grab 5 now while you can.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTyIjGrmKw8
>>342890104
What if people become addicted to 5 and don't bother buying 6.
>>342888992
I don't have them scrambled eggs too.
You must have bought the 'complete edition' like it did a few years back.
>>342890329
>Good thing 6 looks like dumbed down shit
I really don't understand how people can possibly think this way after all the information that has been revealed
Everyone that played the first 60 turns did note that there was quite a bit more complexity
>>342890329
>custom palaces are back
I dont care. I am buying it anyway
I've seen people say that Civ 4 is better, why?
Is Brave New World worth it? I have all other dlc except those two maps like all other people.
>>342890525
Civ4 and Civ5 are different enough that different people will prefer either one. Both are great games as long as they are not vanilla
>>342886719
Man that guy nothing. I took over 5 of his city and he still didn't get upset by it.
THIS BITCH THO. Fucking spend all game act all firendly and shit and then turn around a push to ban my luxury resource because her Catholic bitch bitch ass call it sinful. And then turn around a convert all my city to her shit religion.
THIS HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE TIME SHE IN THE GAME
>>342890526
Civ 5 is not really worth playing over any other 4x without both expansions
How long will this sale be?
>>342884390
>now even Steam sales are going on sale
What the fuck is going on?
>>342890491
It's called /v/ thinking.
All sequels are bad. If it isnt, you better start making up shit to convince yourself it's bad.
>>342891008
July 4th
>>342891232
So this shit will be 14 bucks for a week and a half? Thanks.
My credit card's being a dick and I want to make sure it's working before I get anything purchased.
Alright help me out guys. What is your favorite map setup for 2 human players and any number of AI. Every setup I try I'm always right next to another civilization so instead of taking it easy I'm pumping out settlers to get hold of decent luxuries.
>>342891456
Try Small Continents or Large Islands
>>342888273
Yeah its arguably the best turn based strategy game ever... If you get the complete edition.
>>342891586
Okay I'll give it a whirl thanks
I have all the expansions and content except for brave new world, and buying that on its own is literally 3x more expensive. Why would they do this?
Honest question but why do people say this is fun?
I tried it and the gameplay is literally the same thing from start to end
>moving troops around the map
>waiting for research and buildings to complete
And that's literally it.
I know that every game can be summed up with some dumb formula like this, but my point is that it gets very old really fast, it's like a chess game that lasts 20 hours, am I doing something wrong?
>>342892268
Yes. These games are literally simplified strategic "chess" games. You either like it or you don't.
It's one of the reasons RTS is dead if not dying genre, and no, DOTA 2 is not an RTS.
>>342884390
If I've never played a Civ game or any games like it, should I get this?
>>342892234
mate, look again
it's one of the custom bundles, so it takes into account what DLC you already own and furthers the discount.
http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/575/?snr=1_5_9__403
>>342888273
Yes, make sure you get complete edition though, the game is shit without the expansions, but GOAT with them
>>342884390
Does it run decently enough on toasters? Like, performance wise, how much more does it demand compared to Civ IV
>>342892797
Maybe
>>342892621
Well isn't that grand. I haven't bought anything on steam in a really long time. When'd they start doing that?
>>342892797
The game has a minimum of 1.8 dual core and 2GB of ram. If you can't run that then you probably shouldn't be playing PC games.
>>342892959
Within the past few months
>>342892992
2GB of ram I do have, as for the dual core... I have no idea what that is but I probably don't have it. Intel chipset family graphic card, x32 system (is that how you call it?)
Yeah, it's a very miserable laptop, but it's still functional enough for older games or less-demanding ones and some emulation. It's incredible how many new games I find playable despite my many shortcomings. It's part of the reason I still can't find myself forced to buy a current gen console
Sorry for the blog
>>342887254
because how the fuck would that work for civs like america or the UK
>>342886978
not brave new world. Brave new world is 7.50 separate but I just got it and the two other DLCs i didnt have for 3 bucks. Great deal.
>>342893527
Run dxdiag from your start menu, it'll tell you your specs.
Alternatively you can download Speccy, which does the same.
Then just compare and contrast, the bigger the number, usually the better.
>>342886395
>Doesn't work on Windows 10 though
Civ V, similar to the other 600 games in my steam library, works on Win10. The fear mongering about a free OS on this board is unreal.
>>342884390
I feel like I'm losing money by not buying this
>Bought Civ V
>Still play Civ IV out of preference
Maybe Civ VI will get it right?
>>342892797
its a fun game. but its the most unoptimized shit i've ever seen
>>342884390
>Original price: £98.34
What the fuck, the complete edition used to be much much cheaper. I think 2K has decomposed the package and is now selling the whole thing at twice the price it was before.
>>342894619
>he just discovered that steam raises the price of games and then puts them on sale
>>342894731
When did they raise the price? I'm pretty sure it's illegal in most civilised countries to jack up the price and then immediately declare a discounted one based on that price.
>>342894321
>4 360s
Literally why. I am so triggered right now.
>>342895630
it's 5. For when friends come over.
>>342894731
Steam doesn't raise prices, the publishers do
>>342895630
>There are Gen Z kids on /v/ right now
Ever hear of LAN?
>>342895745
semantics. the prices are raised on the middleman known as steam, ergo, steam raised the prices.
>>342884390
>Dawn of war is 35 dollars instead of 135
I'm tempted even though I don't really know much about dawn of war and suck at RTS.
>>342895921
If you suck at RTS you'll love Dawn of War 2.
There's no basebuilding (just upgrading units) and there's a low unit limit since units are organized into squads so it's easier to micro.
>>342886395
>Doesn't work on Windows 10
Works fine by me on my Desktop and my Laptop. Dunno what's wrong with you.
>there are people in this thread who don't use the community patch
>>342894321
with the money you spent on all those xbox 360's and games you could have had a Beastly PowerFul computer and thousands of games
why man, why?
>>342897410
Because some people have what's called disposable income and a reason to purchase things.
I know, I know. Hard concept.
>>342897804
>i have money, i might as well waste it
I will never understand this mentality
>>342897804

>>342897804
>image
bruh
fucking hell
>>342897939
>waste
Ah, see, that's where you're wrong.
There's this thing called friends, and then there is this other thing called LAN parties, where you and your buds play games together and have a good time. Now, while you're sitting there on a computer that's probably average in specs and you don't own thousands of games, he's spent money to enjoy himself.
You know, what hobbies are typically made for.
>>342898043
>>342898050
Don't have a webm, but here's this.
>Bought the original without any DLC
>Then bought Gods & Kings even though upgrading to the complete edition costed the same and included some DLC
>I could either buy Brave New World or buy this pack with the DLC on top for $2 more
Are the DLC worth it?
>>342898287
You have done well. Now begone until you can find a longer webm.
It good for both of us if you do.
>>342897804
but you spent it on objectively the wrong choice
>>342898318
It's worth having all the dlc imo because some mods require certain dlc packs. Always nice to have more civs and maps to choose from as well
>>342897804
With that money, you could've commissioned an artist to do a "Gumball Cleans Out His Mom's Asshole" animation.
What a waste.
>>342898431
>>342898287
What was it, not the .webm? Got deleted before I got see my (You)
>>342898318
yes. BNW 'fixes' the game and makes it the reason its still in the top 5 games on steam
>>342898536
It was a shorter .gif. We need both the .webm and a sequel.

Wew, let's not throw words around for your arbitrary opinions.

Based anon and based Mike.
I still wonder how I first found him on deviantart all those years ago. He's grown into a fine man.

Yes, trust me, I am one.
Just take your time, read, and don't be afraid of losing a few times.
Don't be afraid of losing. Learn.
>>342887254
It's not like we can help it when there are one-off civs like The Aztecs, The Mayans, and The Zulu. Who would they get replaced by?

Really?
What happens if I buy the complete bundle when I already have the base game and the 2 major DLCs?
Do the extra copies get put in my inventory as gifts or something?
>>342900448
The bundle is "custom" meaning the price is adjusted based on what you own.
>>342900657
Neat, I don't have to worry about paying for bundle dupes anymore.
Thanks, anon.
>>342900803
Well, I wouldn't be 100% certain about that. I just know that you'll get a different deal for Civ 5 depending on what you already own. For me, the price is what's shown in the OP for example.
>>342895219
why would that be illegal?
>>342889874
Give it to me straight
Is there a guide for all the configs that fix it?
Also, can you force-disable auto-updates?
>>342886395
Retards retarding on full retard mode
>>342884390
I got this for $12 last summer, not anything that new
>>342886395
they don't need to patch it because it works just fine you dingus
>>342892797
>Does it run decently enough on toasters?
Maybe if you only play smaller maps.
>>342899152
Maybe through Katawa Shoujo? The console gijinkas he drew and were sometimes posted here? A friend of mine linked me to his Draw With Me video around when it was posted and followed him ever since.
>>342884390
I remember when I played this game for the first time. There is not story mode, you have to configure your campaign. Like, how I supposed to know the most fun options if I didn't even play? I don't remember exactly, but it also didn't have a tutorial or the tutorial was completely useless.
>>342898926
it's not that hard.
>>342884390
meh maybe if it's under $5
>>342901236
Consumer protection given that it's basically a form of lying. I know in my country advertised price reductions must have been a selling price for a period of about a month.
>>342895630
probably 4 with ring of death
>>342903638
how cheap can you get
i mean, even with taxes you're saving like $175

>Everyone that played the first 60 turns did note that there was quite a bit more complexity
Does it really?
>districts basically replace worked tiles
>you don't build roads any more, they're built automatically
>workers have 3 uses, which probably means you don't need them for much
>smaller tech tree than Civ 5 (they said this)
>nothing about religion revealed
>>342908047
they're making cultural advancements/civ advancements a seperate tree than technology. just look at the current tech tree in 5 and note how many of them are actually technologies
>>342908047
>>districts basically replace worked tiles
Worked tiles still exist.
>>you don't build roads any more, they're built automatically
They're built automatically by merchants you produce. You can build manual roads later in the game with a military engineer.
>>workers have 3 uses, which probably means you don't need them for much
They made them have charges because they would do nothing late-game but sit around. They also said they removed because on higher difficulties, players would just steal workers from City-States.
>>smaller tech tree than Civ 5 (they said this)
Because there's a new culture tree now. They moved """"techs"""" like Chivalry and Archeology to that tree.
>>nothing about religion revealed
They said they have a big announcement for religion in the coming weeks. Ed also noted that if you have a pantheon and no religion, your pantheon will no longer be swept away by other religions.
>>342908468
Workers also have charges because they want to discourage automation
>>342908047
>districts basically replace worked tiles
No, there are 12 confirmed districts so far and cities still work a 3x3 hex radius, wrong.
>you don't build roads any more, they're built automatically
By trade routes early, as logically happened historically, mid-late game military engineers build roads.
>workers have 3 uses, which probably means you don't need them for much
All tile improvements and some UI's (great wall)
>smaller tech tree than Civ 5 (they said this)
Civics tree + Tech tree is confirmed for combined more 'techs and civis' than civ 5 techs.
>nothing about religion revealed
Religion victory, and in base game
You know nothing anon, so stfu and stop spreading misinformation.
>>342888273
Yes, it's fun as fuck. And when you get bored you can download the CBP and some more mod civs and it will suck an additional 1000 from your life.
>>342906624
Eh, he's not that bad because most people rarely let the AI get to nukes before winning. Alex and Hiawatha are way more frustrating.

Looks interesting, but I already have a 1800 games backlog. By the time I finish most of them and decide to play Civilization, we'll already be at Civ 8 or 9.

>>342909661
I hit around 700 recently and I'm getting bored. I've even used the community patch for a while now and tried out a few mod civs. I don't know how you do it anon.
How do you usually play?
>>342901271
you can disable auto updates but you can't disable updates entirely
if you want to be as secure as possible you should follow this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGggEh5o3vg
really good in-depth and comprehensive privacy guide
>>342909823
domination victory usually nets you all the wonders too
Who doesn't already have this?
>>342909661
Definitely ashamed. The game is not even that good you redditor cuck
>>342901271
>>342909894
these ones are good as well and offer extra configuration options like getting rid of bloatware and MS default apps
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1kGMCfb2xw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x2VTN4jjIE
>>342909823
I didn't start taking images until I played on Emperor or above. Also, its an Inca game, so wonders are much easier to get.
>>342909894
If you're gonna through that much effort you may as well do everything in Linux and keep Windows as a dual boot for games. Civ 5 even works on Linux.
