Civ 5, just one more turn...

[Phaezen]

Anyone else looking forward to the new Civilisations game, or is it just me?

They announced the special edition game today, which includes 5 Reaper Minis. Can't see them too clearly, but there appears to be a knight, a samurai, a modern soldier, a mech and a ????

 

[UngainlyTitan]

Oh I'm lookign forward to it as well.

 

[Merkuri]

Very much looking forward to it. I haven't played Civ 4 in a while, but it's one of those games I never take out of my quick launch because I keep coming back to it. Each Civ game has been such an improvement on the last that I find myself unable to satisfactorily go back to an earlier copy, so I'm eagerly waiting to see what sort of nifty stuff they do for this one.

 

[LightPhoenix]

I can't wait for it to come out. I think I'm more excited about Civ5 than I am for Starcraft 2. Here's hoping it doesn't get pushed back too much.

Also, I think the mystery mini (lowest one) looks a bit like a Zulu soldier... I forget what they're called.

 

[cignus_pfaccari]

We'll see. I'm not too enthused about it.

This may be my inner grognard talking, but archers shooting two hexes pretty much breaks it for me. If it were on some sort of battlefield, that's fine, but when one hex is several hundred miles? That seems excessive.

From left to right, to me they look like:

A knight with a mace, a modern soldier, a battle mech, a samurai with a musket, and a roman legionary (albeit with a rather long sword and a rather small shield).

 

[John Crichton]

Hell yes. Will be picking this up as soon as it's available. Been playing the heck outa Civ IV lately!

The changes sounds VERY interesting.

 

[SKyOdin]

I'm going to wait and see what the finished game looks like. I am not too keen on some of the changes that have been mentioned. While archers shooting two squares doesn't bother me, many of the possible changes to religion and so on are making me wary.

So, I am curious, but skeptical and undecided.

 

[Shag]

Well since they basically took 2 of my favourite games and mashed them together. Panzer General+Civ. How can I loose?

I can't wait myself...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they plan on making a facebook application as well. That would be cool, if done right.
