The fifth mainline offering in the multi-award winning Civilization series of strategy games, Sid Meier's Civilization V, challenges players to establish and lead a civilization from the dawn of man into the space age. Civ V introduced a number of new features to the series, including City-States, research agreements between leaders, and the now-familiar hexagonal map tiles. Multiple paths to victory are still a staple of the series, so science, culture, and diplomacy are just as viable as military conquest.
Wars between empires feel massive in Civ V, with armies spreading across the landscape like never before. The introduction of ranged bombardment allows players to fire weapons from behind the front lines, affords a powerful new defensive option for cities under siege, and challenges leaders to devise new strategies on the battlefield.
Each of the 18 playable civilizations that Civ V launched with plays differently: in addition to their leaders' unique abilities, each civilization has access to at least one unique unit. Many of them can also construct unique buildings and tile improvements. A further seven civilizations were added in the first year after the game's launch via a series of add-on packs that also include new scenarios, custom game maps, and additional world wonders. In the years that followed, still more civilizations and gameplay enhancements were introduced in the two expansion packs detailed below.
Released in 2012, the robust first expansion for Civilization V covers the entire scope of time from the founding of your first Pantheon of the Gods and spreading religion across the world, to deploying your spies to steal information and technology from enemy cities. Interact with new Mercantile and Religious City-State types, engage in new quests on their behalf, and master new, more tactical land and naval combat systems.
Civilization V: Gods and Kings introduces nine additional civilizations, nine wonders, and dozens of units, buildings, and techs that afford players new options as they expand their empire. Three original scenarios are also included, with two based on historical events, and another set in a fictional steampunk world with its own factions, technologies, units, and buildings.
The Brave New World expansion, released in 2013, adds even more depth and replayability to Civilization V through the introduction of international trade routes, an archaeology system, and new culture and diplomacy features. Your influence around the world can now be impacted by creating Great Works, choosing an ideology for your people, and proposing global resolutions in the World Congress.
Nine more civilizations also enter the fray in Civilization V: Brave New World, bringing with them dozens of new units, buildings, and tile improvements as well as eight new wonders waiting to be discovered. When you're done building the most powerful empire in the world, there are also two historical scenarios based on the Scramble for Africa and the American Civil War that are sure to test your leadership skills.
One of the other things the Steam Summer Sale tends to spark in me is a review of my gaming so far in the year. One thing that happened in the first half of 2022 was that a new title took over as my most played game on Steam.
Down in single digits, after some single player stuff was the end of our run at New World. I am not even sure what server I am on now. There has been some talk about Amazon fixing some of the issues, but I am not sure there is a lot of desire to return there any time soon.
But the first thing was to find room for it on my desk. The monitor is big enough that it is curved slightly, so that the whole screen stays in your peripheral vision. I was able to squeeze it in there and still keep my little (1600 x 900) secondary monitor on the side, so I can play full screen and still be able to see IMs or pull up maps or quest info or whatever.
The main problem is what to do with my Snowball microphone. It used to sit off to the side of the old monitor, but cable reach and space constraints now mean it has to it somewhere in front of one of the monitors. Unfortunately, it is just tall enough that it blocks something no matter where I put it. So it moves around at need for the moment.
The UI scales fine, nothing is awkwardly out of place, no bits are stretched, everything is anchored in what feels like just the right spot, and playing in a world that extends to the edge of your vision is actually pretty cool. I got used to that very quickly.
Games that are screen size agnostic, games like RimWorld, had not problem with the bigger monitor. You just get to see more real estate. I was a bit surprised to find that Age of Empires II HD was good with the resolution.
Other games worked with varying degrees of success. EverQuest II seemed good with the screen size overall, save for the experience and control bar at the bottom of the screen, which only scales to about half that width.
The UI ended up getting stretched across the screen as things tried to remain relatively spaced. The UI settings acknowledged the screen size, but the view into the world felt a bit stretched across the horizontal plane.
And then, of course, there is my video card. When I built my current system about two years back, I went with an EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB video card. That was a decent choice as it appears to be just about able to handle the big screen when running some of these games. When I used the GeForce Experience to optimize my graphic settings for the new monitor, it did turn down the detail on some titles. Even with WoW Classic, which I had been running max settings on, needed a couple of settings dialed back a bit.
I was back in World of Warcraft and finishing up some Legion stuff and getting on with the lead-in for Battle for Azeroth. I went over some of what Legion did for us, then the 8.0 update hit and I had to get used to new stuff with BFA.
Anyway, we had a distraction down south, where PanFam was going after TEST. They blew up a TEST Keepstar and TEST responded by just dropping another one. That one lived. Meanwhile the PanFam fleet was trapped in bubbles cover where they would login.
In EverQuest, on the Fippy Darkpaw Time Locked Progression server, the vote to unlock the Underfoot expansion failed, making it the second expansion ever to get voted down, the first being Gates of Discord nearly two years before.
Oh, and then there was the horse. Remember the $10 horse? I did a poll about it and everything. Boy, that seems like small potatoes these days. I mean, that was a cash shop game selling a horse for $10. Now WoW and EQ2 will sell you mounts that cost much more.
And even as we were doing all that, we were starting to mull over what we should do once we were level 80 with no new expansion in sight. It only took us a year to try another game. At about that time, my hunter alt hit level 80.
