Combat is an improvement over the last games in the series, difficulty is a little too easy on the easy difficulty levels (in comparison to last games) but the difficult levels are difficult so that's fine I guess. I've found it fun so far!

hmm Wuming here got demo
http://www.fileplanet.com/216393/download/Sid-Meier%27s-Civilization-V-Demo

I was curious to try it as I never really played the history/simcity/turnbased/tile grid kind of game before. I like History alot though so I went to try the demo

From what I experienced from the 100 rounds limit the game is quite colourful and the tooltips helps alot for new players.

I think the game might be abit too openended for my liking though, would sort of prefer a more campaign/mission/scenario game like RoN kind.

And for some weird reason Singapore is considered important enough to be in this game

I miss RoN/AoE/EE type games, not enough of them on the market anymore Sad

RoN is definitely my favourite and most missed

I was happy with conquering Singapore and building only gold generating buildings ... until I discovered Kuala Lumpur. First time I razed a city, and damned if it didn't feel good!

I leave Singapore independent. Last time I attacked them, every nation state decided they'd had enough of me simultaneously and attacked me all at once Sad

Was playing as France when India and her allies, including Singapore, attacked. Funny thing was India's troops consisted mainly of crossbowmen and pikemen in the Industrial Era while Singapore had three infantry armies. All were no match for the foreign legion, though, and the hokkien pengs fell to the last man.

Gandhi is a dickhead, only matched by Bismarck and Montezuma for starting wars which they'll clearly lose.

Thanks to Gallow for linking this appropiate image to me:

Gandhi in Civ IV behaved more or less like the man himself, preferring to go the scientific route. Unfortunately, while the devs have given the Civ leaders voiced lines in Civ V, they are completely devoid of personality. It doesn't matter who you meet, Gandhi or Montezuma, they all want to win, by any means necessary. Gandhi is as likely to unleash violence as Montezuma, or Darius.

I dunno, Gandhi got mad at me when I started killing other people

So I set him and his things on fire.

I actually am currently in a Large Map game atm playing as India. I decided to try and go for the Steam achievement for only three cities and a cultural victory.

What this means is 300 turns later, I am hardly a military force to be reckoned with, I can't sustain an army beyond three-four units. To give you an idea, the current superpower is Japan with a military score of 2400. I have 400. Five civilizations have fallen, and around 8 nation states are currently occupied, since game start and yet, mine isn't one of them. Part of this is because I'm located on a separate island in an Ice Age map but part of it is that I've actively been trading resources with the larger powers.

There have been a few times where I've traded gold or resources in return for nothing but most of the time, I've been re-compensated for trading. It's been rather surprising because I thought like you that somebody would eventually have decided to make war on me but any civs that have thus far is because I've allied myself with another and decided to agree to war, hoping to receive free gold for peace.
