Civ 5 demo - Page 2

Healing is 1HP/turn outside of home, medic heals all adjacent units and I think you heal faster at home and in garrison.

2 things to help out with unit movement management: you can move through units and you can swap 2 units, provided they each have at least 1 move left. Also, after some tech you can embark units at sea - although sea movement is just as cumbersome once you're in the water, it can allow you to have a "wider" front on which to put units.

What I didn't run into in the demo games I played: Negative cashflow.

What happens when the treasury is empty and you're still losing money per turn?

Because there are no longer any research or culture sliders you can adjust...

Try it and let us know

From the manual (page 106)

Quote:

If your treasury is at zero and you’re running a negative budget, the difference is deducted from your Science. Beware: this can seriously slow down your acquisition of new technology, which can leave you extremely vulnerable to attack by more advanced neighbors. Get your budget in order as quickly as possible!

If you are in full warmonger mode and well ahead of your opponents scientifically, it may not matter!

Thanks grahamiam.

I haven't read the manual, obviously...

I have to say, this feature really irritated me. If you accidentaly ove a unit with the arrow keys onto another unit it swaps, and uses up the move points of both. I think it shoudl require shift to be held down of something to swap units.

I am sure I will get the hang of it though.

Yes, I've also fallen foul of that, it can be really annoying.

can you download the demo without installing steam? I don't fancy extra useless crap on my system if it doesn't work!

Furiey · 13-10-2010, 20:22

No, you still need steam.
