There's a rumor floating around that Civ V will come out for the Mac in the coming weeks.
That is all.
We know it will come out for Mac eventually,
But hearing it will be in the next few weeks brings joy to my ears.
Hopefully it will launch for steamplay

YES. I don't want to buy two copies.
My friend Kevin won't stop asking ne to buy it. Would love a review from you guys
Sure, this is my review on the Civ series: "Boring"
That's your review for everything thats not swbf
Of course not!!!!! i like a lot more then swbf, just not the games you seem to like
Examples: CoD, Warcraft 3, KotOR, Harry Potter, AoE and lots and lots more
Civ 5 works great on crossover! It has trouble starting up, but other than that the gameplay is at PC level.
eww crossover
Judging by the fair (however not overkill like SF) amount of time spent of CivIV, I am still wondering whether or not I should get this game. Civilization is a game that I'd want to spend constant time on rather than playing occasionally. With so many games that I'd like to play and games that I still play regardless... I'm unsure if I should spend the time to play it.
Here's a question to the people who are already playing it, how much has changed/not changed from IV? Is it worth being a new game?

dl the demo
Fair enough.

It has received all around top-marks from critics, though some of super hardcore CIV fans don't like it (surprise surprise). Basically, it just has 1 main gameplay flaw that is more of an annoyance (It's not a bug, it's a feature!) that you can't change your civics/government at will, meaning that you have to decide how you're going to win at the beginning of the game, and they got rid of religion instead of fixing it, which makes me a sad panda.
Otherwise, it apparently looks and plays great, and they finally fixed the game (by switching to logical hexes instead of squares, which would let you go
through phalanxes of enemies with ridiculous ease and make navigating awkward) to make wars actually strategic and fun to play through.
i kinda wish it had a battle element like the total war series
Damn, just finished the demo and you only get 100 turns :(. Wish I could get it.
I played Civ V demo and I have to say...
It can wait. My graphics card for some reason is choking on it so I think I'll stay with CivIV until I have the time to devote to it. :)
Did you use the DirectX 9 version of the game?
:facepalm:
Aww comon ag, my terminology may be faulty but you know what I mean

I just saw the article, it made me so happy seeing as I love the civ games. :D
Why no side by side release?
Considering that it is a native release and not a cheap Cider port, don't bother questioning the delay.
Also, mac games can take up to a year to be ported. That's what happened with Call of Duty 4. ;)
Portal 2 is a native port and it is a simultaneous release. Idk pardon my ignorance

if you look near the middle you will notice Steam is required to play Civ5 :tu:
Civ5 will also be using Steam as the DRM which is a good thing
