Civilization V Game of the Year Edition announced
Firaxis' strategy game is getting a Game of the Year edition packing most--but not all--of its DLC. It'll arrive on September 27, just after Civ V's first birthday.
With Sid Meier's Civilization V just about to celebrate its first birthday, publisher 2K has announced a Game of the Year Edition for Firaxis' historical strategy game. Boasting a whole host of downloadable content, it's slated to launch on September 27.
The GotY edition has a sticker price of $49.99, which is fairly respectable considering the included DLC comes to $37.44 by itself. Curiously, it doesn't pack all current Civ V DLC, only most of it. The recent Korea and Wonders of the Ancient World packs, which cost $7.49 together, are both excluded.
Here's exactly what's in the box:
- Sid Meier's Civilization V (standalone game)
- Civilization and Scenario Pack: The Mongols
- Civilization Pack: Babylon
- Cradle of Civilization Map Packs: Mesopotamia, Americas, Asia and Mediterranean
- Double Civilization and Scenario Pack: Spain and Inca
- Civilization and Scenario Pack: Polynesia
- Civilization and Scenario Pack: Denmark - The Vikings
- Explorer's Map Pack
- Sid Meier's Civilization V digital soundtrack

I did play it briefly. I liked the military size being tied directly to empire happiness, but I didn't really get to far into it to form an opinion. I don't think I like the bonus government revolution perks..... just seems like the game becomes reward reward reward reward instead of reward, potential reward, tradeoff, reward.

My biggest issue with Civ V is the hard limit of 1upt (military wise). A limit of something small, like 3, would make a world of a difference. And with ranged bombardment in the game, that is an excellent deterrent to stacks. An easy way to counter stacks is to increase the damage bombardment gives beyond 100% when attacking a stack.
My next biggest issue is the AI. It's worse than ever. It doesn't use ranged units effectively, and often times dispatches small groups of units that can be easily killed off.
I like the embark mode, but I don't think alll units should be able to embark and enter ocean tiles. Coastal tiles, sure, but not ocean. I still believe in transports! Ground transports would be really nice too - being able to transport 4-5 slower units at a time with the speed of a modern armor would add to the experience IMO.
Also, I think there needs to be a slider for science (similar to Civ 4) that can be adjusted to convert gold being made by citizens/buildings in the empire into beakers. Something like 2 gold = 1 beaker, with the slider starting out at zero percent (meaning no gold being made by citizens is converted into beakers) with the potential to crank it up to 100% - which would convert all gold being made in the empire into beakers at a ration of 2-to-1.

I hope there's a expansion pack coming out soon. This kind of AI behavior pisses me off: http://steamcommunity.com/id/nitrium/screenshot/595817638558607293/?

Has anyone tried the Civilization V NiGHTS mod yet? Curious as to how it plays.

Goncyn posted about it here http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=26681595#item_26681595 and here http://www.shacknews.com/chatty/26677303
I've watched akaigirl play a bit and she's enjoying the hell out of the mod - I think I'm going to take it for a spin tonight. -
As a huge civ fan i tried playing it and civ5 is still underwhelming.

lol don't even get all of the DLC :D
How about gifting the DLC to us CE purchasers? -
Is this the version with functioning multi-player?
-
MP does work (at least for me, and those I have played with). The latest patch even allows saving MP games without awkward workarounds.

I don't see why more games don't put out game of the year editions

I only just got Civ V in a STEAM Sale for just £7.50 and I already regret it. Wish I had paid an extra £2.50 to get Civ IV instead, which I played a demo of years ago and really enjoyed but never got round to buying.

Remember when Dennis Shirk said this in a shacknews interview?
We're going to have the basics out of the gate. About a month after release, we're going to add Pitboss. Pitboss will be accompanied by two extraneous modes that we weren't originally planning, but the fans keep asking for: play-by-mail and hot-seat.
That was a funny joke.-
Just to let you know, that quote was corrected the same day the article was posted. He was simply mistaken about the timetable. However, Pitboss is still on its way for Civ V, and it'll be a free patch.

Well, it was never planned for a month after release. We've put out a bunch of patches since release, which can give you an idea of the kinds of things we've been prioritizing over Pitboss.
