re: Civilization 5 : help me not be awful

Sorry to hijack, but I'm bored with my current games and looking for something new to play. Having never played any Civ game ever, how steep is the learning curve? I was thinking about giving it a go.

Civ 5 is pretty easy to start playing, so you shouldn't have much trouble learning to play as you go. Just start a game with the intent of learning the game mechanics and you'll be fine.

It's easy to learn but tough to master. Can be overwhelming at times as you learn how deep it. Easy to play though fundamentally, it's just buildings and clicking units across terrain and giving those units orders
I just lost my last game. Randomly rolled, got Venice. Tried to build up a trading and naval empire and ignored creating an army. Ally declared war on me and sacked my city before BC ended
But hey at least my people were happy... fml

You shouldn't have a problem.
If you get confused/lost just ask here or check the civfanatics forums. Tons of great info out there.

My first Civ game was Civ Revolution on the PS3, it was totally stripped down for a better console experience, and I loved it. It was that game that made me love Civ 4 and 5.
Also, for the OP, I've found that playing as Hiawatha has granted massive bonuses for my play style. I expand fast and get a great deal of cheap warriors early, ie I essentially zerg rush with him.
