Civ V

[Perseus]

I'm gonna buy Civ V tomorrow. Any tips or anything I should know going into it?
I've only played Civ Rev, so I'm sort of new to the Civ. I've played the demo for Civ V, though.

1. This game is a graphics hog, so don't set it too high or you won't enjoy it.
2. Don't play at anything above the first two difficulty levels if you're a newfag (which you are).
3. There are no cheats, unlike in Civ IV, which means that if you get yourself into a war with 3 other countries for being an asshole there's no easy way out.
4. Focus on building infrastructure, it really helps later on.
5. A tip for building roads and railways quickly is to line up 5 workers in a row and have them build it all at the same time instead of having one worker build the entire thing.
6. When a country tells you not to settle near them, it's best to agree unless you know you're prepared for war.
7. Always have 1 city dedicated to producing nothing but combat units.
8. If you're playing in later eras (modern or future) and you see uranium just across the border, GET THAT MOTHERFUCKER. It'll get you the Death Robot and nukes. I've won many a war with that shit.
9. The minute you're able to start building the space shuttle, START. It's an easy victory.
10. If another city-state asks you to attack one of your neighbor city-states and they're not allied with anyone, go ahead, you might get some valuable resources (like uranium) out of it.

That's all I can think of for now.

1. The demo I had it set on something, and it wasn't hogging.
2. Will do. :p
3. There are cheats on Civ IV?
4. I see.
5. C'est logique, mais je vais le faire.
6. Nigga, I do what I want. :P (That's actually self explanatory. I don't want all the factions in the game waging war on me. It's annoying in Civ Rev.)
7. Smart.
8. I lol'd.
9. I know that from Civ Rev.
10. I'll keep that in mind.

During a game you could go into worldbuilder and do whatever you wanted. It was a massive cheat. Nothing like that in Civ V, though.

5. C'est logique, mais je vais le faire.

That reminds me, the French are a good country to play as. However, you have to be Napoleon, and we all know he has a small dick.

6. Nigga, I do what I want. :P (That's actually self explanatory. I don't want all the factions in the game waging war on me. It's annoying in Civ Rev.)

Good. It is self-explanatory.

Yeah that worldbuilder saved my ass a lot of times.
And I too lol'd at that Uranium part.

And... Death Robot?

The Giant Death Robot is THE MOST POWERFUL unit in the game. It can destroy anything. It is the shit. The only thing it's bad at is siege, but who cares? It's a fucking robot of death.
