I now own Civ V - what now? - Page 3

CS usage depends a lot on the CIV the AI plays. Greece and Siam do very well on the CS front.

funny thing is: I make practically no use of CSs....

It is a real pity the AI in Civ V still is so bad and the absence of Pitboss. Otherwise I would not bother of going thru the pain of logging in to Windo$e and play a good game.

Is there any news or even rumours about a Pitboss in the near future?

Apparently Firaxis still hasn't given up on getting pitboss to work. But seeing how GMR works there's no real need for pitboss anyway. You don't need to run a server for it, so in that aspect it's even better than pitboss. Not with simultaneous moves though, unfortunately.

As for Linux: the game has Steamplay, Steam pushes for Linux, so hey, who knows what might be coming up. There has to be a good reason they don't have pitboss working, and that reason has to be Linux

I'd say lack of committed resources, most likely seriously hindered by a flawed design from our beloved friend Trip.

Anyway, EU IV is rumoured to become available for Linux.

Have to wait til EoY earliest however.

Crusader Kings 2 is native on Linux, I would recommend that as it's superb and very difficult. There's a free demo on Steam. If CK2 runs on Linux with Steamplay, I wouldn't be surprised if EU4 runs on Linux at launch. You'd still have to wait a while before it's released though... more time to play CK2!

Oh, and if you're reading this and your name is Stapel: Crusader Kings 2 also runs on Mac.

Looking good, it became available only very recently! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2105066

Sorry for threadjacking lol.

Threadjacking... this is CDZ!

Also, convincing members to play CK2 justifies threadjacking. Especially if that means more interest in my CK2 AAR.
