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

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

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.

Threadjacking... this is CDZ!
Also, convincing members to play CK2 justifies threadjacking. Especially if that means more interest in my CK2 AAR.
