SC II and Civ V in the same year...I guess the gaming industry REALLY wants me to fail out of college.

Looks like we get actual ARMIES now and there are also more diplomatic options. I just got Civ IV last year and I can't imagine what Civ V is going to do to me, let alone with SC II.

Release date is expected to be Fall of this year.

The hex-grid reminds me of Settlers of Catan haha.

Kinda hope it's gonna be out before SC2, if not, then it might be some time before I'll get my hands on this new civ.

I thing that turned me off civ 4 was the border regions be uncontrollable unless you keep huge armies all over all of your borders. I would get ppl coming over mountains all the time invading my mines and stuff was really annoying and made me bored to fast.

Hex eh, seriously, it makes me think Catan too. Especially since the tiles just somehow look similar to Catan.

I really really hope the Diplomacy system has been revamped.

It'll take a lot more than words and guns ... The hands of many must join as one, and together we'll cross the river.

I hope they redo the unit system, I think the way combat works out right now with a series of one on one confrontations is a bit dated.

This is awesome. Hope they addressed the SoD and the late game total boredom issues.

You do it to yourself. Just you. You and no one else.

HOMM anyone? When they switched to square tiles it was really stupid...

To me it just looks like 'show single unit' option turned off (which I always have 'on' in C4) and changing squares into hexagons.

I just wish it's going to run perfectly on Linux, just like C4 does.

Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

Yeah apparently stacks will not be possible in Civ V.
