(1/1)

WOOP!


--- Quote ---2K Games announced today that they will be releasing Civilization V in the fall. For the first time in the series, the square tiles will be changed to hexes, which 2K Games says provides 'deeper strategy' and 'more realistic gameplay.'  Civilization V will also include a new graphics engine, new combat system including ranged bombardment, multiplayer and good support for the modding community. 'Each new version of Civilization presents exciting challenges for our team. Thankfully, ideas on how to bring new and fun experiences to Civ players never seem to stop flowing. From fully animated leaders and realistic landscapes, new combat tactics, expanded diplomacy and shared mods, we're excited for players to see the new vision our team at Firaxis has brought to the series,' Sid Meier said. In addition to Civilization V, the Facebook-based  Civilization Network will also be released during 2010

Rodders:
I love Civ and actually bought Civ Revolution in December last year, but still haven't found the time to play it for more than an hour without Princess Slavedriver finding me something else to do.

The proposed Facebook Network version will be hugely popular.  Sadly, this inevitably means my page will be swamped by excited messages announcing that the mate of someone's second-cousin has just built a garden shed.  It would therefore be nice to think the new "Ranged Bombardment" tool might have some real-world functionality.
