Ask Sid
Sid wants our email
The emails he needs to certify we'll really want a Civ5, apparently Firaxis wants to certify itself of enough sales before starting to program. I'd say fire up your gmail and start typing

Civ4 is still on a lot of sales charts, I don't think take2 really doubts they'll be selling enough of civ5 to make boatloads of profit on it. But as far as civ5 is concerned: why bother? We'll be promised better AI, decent mechanics and no bugs, and we'll end up with civ4 (basically: civ3) with better graphics, a boatload of bugs and an idiot AI, plus dumbed down mechanics because the masses can't be bothered to micromanage [/rant]
As far as I'm concerned civ5 will be part of the col2 compensation plan.

I just don't get how you can say that, Col2 is such a great game. Even Sid says that.

Oh yes, instead of an idiot AI we end up with an AI that's just "special"...

I can't seem to be bothered by a new Civ5. Already two years I have stopped playing Civ anyway.

Will we see the same cycle as with III and IV?
- The first release is a beta in terms of game rules and balances - Then the first expansion pack is a big fix, some extras and still with lots of issues. - The second expansion pack is basically what the first release should be But I can safely predict i'll be one of the first to start playing Civ V.

But I think we shouldn't complain that much. Are there other games where things are better? Let's get real: The investment in CiV + WL + BtS is 120 euros. For that, you can play CiV for about 4 or 5 years, every day, every night, every hour, every minute, with others if you like. The alternative for that money is buying a bouquet of roses and a fancy meal for two, which might result in a good blowjob......, just once.
