Can't wait to fire up some civ v.


Tip: don't get gods and kings. Stay vanilla and download civ nights. I played vanilla for a while and liked it. Got bored, added nights, whole new game. It revamps the tech and totally overhauls policy. Makes diplomacy tougher and more realistic too. You don't carry diplomacy effects for the entire game, borders carry more weight, and you can't ally with the entire world as easily.

Then I got God's and kings. Won't work with nights and the improvements aren't worth it IMO. The spy stuff sucks if you're good. I always focus heavy and early on tech and if you're leading in tech, you can't pull new techs with spies. There isn't much benefit. Religion is lame too and the "new tech" isn't all that great.

I recently rebuilt my computer too.

AMD A8-3850 2.9 GHz quad core APU
16-GB 1600mhz ddr3 ripjaw ram
XFX radeon HD 6670 2gb ddr3

That's my main stuff. I would've liked a better gpu but the 6670 is the highest I can crossfire with my processor. I can pull skyrim on ultra with little to no problem with the HD texture pack lite off of nexus. Civ 5 runs great as well.

For a sub $400 upgrade, I like it.
