Is someone making a version for Civ 5?
There are probably dark fantasy mods in the works, but I don't know of anything that compares to the scope of FfH2, especially since the lead dev now works on Fallen Enchantress.

It's July 12th outside of NA, so yes, it's a mistake.

Incorrect month fixed.
Civ IV can still expect to get the "big" style overhaul mods that you can find over at CFC (Caveman2Cosmos being my current favorite), while Civ V has a ton of smaller mods you can get from the Steam Workshop.

Wish I hadn't pre-ordered the boxed copy. I'm normally pretty patient with game releases what with my ridiculous backlog and all, but I really don't want to wait until the end of the week to play this one.

any deals on pre orders right now?
Steam has it for 10% off but I figured I'd ask here before pulling the trigger.
Great OT btw!
This looks to be a truly great expansion

Look up member "dunderhassan" in the buy/sell/trade thread to see if he has any more steam keys for this game. He sorted me out with one for $12.
GMG with a 25% off code I think.
Its killing me breh. Trying not to think of it or play G n K.

I think any mods made for GK will probably have to be updated to work with BNW.
The only reason to get GK is to get the new civs from that expansion.
Here is a good deal for 20 bucks:

You can get Civ 5 gold, which includes GK and all the released DLC so far. Also...Civ 4 complete and XCOM. Killer deal.
No, but it's rumored that Fall From Heaven 3 may come out under Stardock in the future. (the creator of FFH now works for Stardock and did a pretty good job fixing up the Elemental games, though it's nothing like FFH) FE with latest expansion is a solid game in its own right.
Funny thing is the guy who was the original designer for Civ 5 (Jon Shafer) also ended up at Stardock, though he's no longer working there full-time and is doing hs own indie game (At the Gates- a Roman Barbarian game)
What platform you getting. Steam?Just one more day...

At the Gates is sounding really interesting, honestly. The whole shifting seasons thing could be good. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonshafer/jon-shafers-at-the-gates/posts/408540
Yeah pre-ordered and everything. I'm just going to keep myself busy with other things throughout Monday.
Expecting a good bit of innovation on that, good art, wonder on the execution.

Personally, I think one unit per tile adds more strategy to the combat gameplay.
The problem is , the AI hasn't shown it can handle the strategy, unless it's improved drastically in the last patch. I've not played Civ V for months waiting for the expansion (had FE to play instead)

They could resolve the issue w/ 1UPT vs. stacks of doom with some kind of wargame-like stacking limit per tile (that increases with technology), but then that really messes up the combat simplicity and rock paper scissors unit design.
It's a dead horse at this point, but I prefer Civ 5 unit-per-tile implementation over the collateral damage and superstack focus of Civ 4. Civ 5's real glaring problems have always been erratic AI behavior (mostly fixed at this point, with more in BNW) and the miserable implementations of cultural and diplomatic win conditions (being reworked totally in BNW).
It can't really. It can however just beat you with sheer numbers if you are playing at a difficulty appropriate for your level. I get swarmed and stomped from time to time even on Deity where I have a respectable win rate. I know some people hate "cheating" AIs with massive bonuses to production but if they generate more interesting games I am all for them.

It does actually do this. I can't figure out if I like it though!

I much prefer 1upt but it mainly boils down to the fact that it is how it makes sense in my head.
Also I had no idea how much more efficiently the game runs on a quad core pc. It flies now.

Just 24 hours left... can't wait! I've been following this one closely for months now. Still feeling the lack of speculation and new Civ reveals.
Most excited for Brazil - they'll probably be my first game. Interested in seeing how the new Cultural Victory works, as that's been my go-to thusfar. Staying small and focused tends to be my MO, so hopefully the need for great works and archaeology doesn't put too much of a damper on that!
So glad I ended up pre-ordering on Steam. Sure it's pricy by my usual standards, but I've already gotten ~250 hours worth of game time off of $15 spent. So I don't feel too bad tossing them (almost) full price this time. Worth it to play on launch.

Think it'd be pretty unlikely for it to go any further down during the Summer sale (if that's hitting)? I kinda doubt a new release that's already 10% off is gonna get, but it might be part of a pack or something.
Kinda want Gods and Kings as well so holding out, but given that espionage and religion are part of base BNW, might not bother...

Gods and Kings came out right before the summer sale last year and was NOT on sale. Don't get your hopes up about BNW having some absurd discount after release as part of the Steam sale.
I think the G&K Civs are pretty interesting and would much prefer to have them in the available pool of Civs in my games vs. not having them around. G&K will most certainly be part of the Steam sale.

So I've been hella confused by the release date on this one, thought it was the 9th, then the 8th, then the 9th...
Steam says approximately 10 PM PST today. Is this a number that could be wildly revised as Valve/Firaxis wake up and show up at their respective workplaces? Oh, and how much of a time lag does greenmangaming codes usually experience?

Oh man. I actually know very little about Brave New World other than that it's tailored to fit my playing style (I'm a peaceful pussy who likes to build cool shit and influence the world). So the Polygon review is the first I've really read of the new civilizations and, my god, Venice sounds absurdly fun.
Have to agree, Venice is practically my civ made to order: Strong capital, ocean-faring, and with a strong focus on city states, trade, and gold income. They'll be the first of the new additions I play.
Let fly the banner of St. Mark!
The features they 're-added' in G&K were not easier to make just because they had already existed in previous games. The name of the feature might be the same but the mechanics, implementation and balance all have to be scrapped and remade.
