#FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH CIV 5 PATCH#

Please don't utter the names of those two games in the same sentence. Will need to start a new one with Inca / Spain some other time. So, game still in Renaissance, first impressions. killed 8 * 10% = 80% of Persia's population) After all, the Romans didn't revolt when they burnt down Carthage nor the Mongolians when Genghis Khan 8*decimated population of Persia (ie. Razing cities gives a HUGE hit to happiness (like -10 while the city is being burnt). Great Generals still block civilian units >_> Moving an army is still a game of shuffleboard. Maritime may be nerfed, but is still powerful (I can see the synergy with Freedom's 1/2 food specialists)

All it is doing is churning out promoted units for war. Muhahaha.ДЇor the first time in Civ5, I got a city with an Armory, Barracks and Forge. Alexander got 'denounced' (new diplomacy thingie) and isolated as the villain of our continent, and is now besieged on all sides by all India, Iroquois, France and Babylon. Except Greece decided to invade me and Gandhi (who lost Vijaynagara). Iroquois, France, India, Greece and I are were all friends, Kumbaya et al. Oh god, Landed Elite (Tradition tree) is hyper awesome (Landed Elite (Tradition Branch) now reduces culture cost of border growth by 2/3.) With just a monument and that medieval culture wonder, most of my cities have their borders at 3 radius with no buying! It's like a growing blob! Great buff to the tradition tree which makes it *totally* worth it! (Tradition ) I completed this tree and just started the Freedom tree.Дiplomacy: Declarations of Friendship are cool. The new Circuses are cool, I wish monasteries also got the circus balance treatment and became slightly weaker + no maintenance (then I would build more of them!). The 0 maintenance walls are good, though (but I seldom needed them). (King Difficulty, Continents, Normal Speed) The Library no longer having specialists has made the Babylon's faster scientist special ability kick in at the Renaissance era (with Education + University) as opposed to the ancient era (which was awesome, yet arguably broken).

I have been playing this patch earlier this morning, I random-ed Babylon. I had bought Civ5 off Direct2Drive, so the Spain+Inca pack was part of the entrance fee. While the patch is free, unfortunately, the new content will run US gamers $7.49. Firaxis is likely trying to shape up the game before the release of two new civilizations, Spain and Inca, and a DLC pack due out soon. The game has only been out about three months, but the list of changes is still fairly staggering.

A few buildable structures, especially happiness-producing ones, have had their stats altered. Many mechanics of military units have been changed, from their number of moves to their attack penalties against each other. Several fixes attend to the AI's sometimes illogical diplomatic and military behavior, and there are some new diplomatic interaction options. For a version of Civilization that puts such a heavy emphasis on diplomacy, this has proved to be a sizable stumbling block. Gandhi, for example, has often emerged as an intolerant and ruthless warmonger. Players' main complaints have been about the AI-that they are often illogical, refuse demands when a massive army is poised on their borders, and will behave in a way inconsistent with their images. We gave Civilization V a favorable review and remain fans, but a number of big issues have come to light in the first few weeks since the game's release. The patch has a laundry list of changes and fixes to the game, including fixes for a few glaring issues such as lengthy AI turn times and uncharacteristic behavior, military unit changes, and the different benefits for various city buildings. Civilization V has recevied a patch today, as announced on Firaxis's forums.
