I was hoping to see if anyone has played the game on a tablet. I read a review of the Surface pro and it apparently can play the game but when moving the map it can get jittery.

I was thinking of...

I have a laptop with a smaller SSD as a boot drive (128 GB) and a regular 7500 rpm drive as a storage drive. On programs I use a lot, I've installed them onto the boot drive so they load super quick....

I installed an SSD on my system specifically because I found the Civ V load times too long. It worked wonders. I think before the SSD install Civ V took upwards of a minute to start up. With the SSD...

Yes.Everyone always complained about the job 2kGreg did on these forums. I'd take 2KGreg any day over the current one. He/She couldn't even bother to post an official announcement of the expansion on...

I'm happy for the expansion but what I find disgusting is on these official forums they post nothing. Where is this community manager!??!?!?!?

I suppose these forums are official in name only....

I hope you're right; otherwise, they've been working on this rather modest update for the past 5 months which seems excessive.

It may be being gifted to you from an allied city state. Check to see if any are allied with you and if they have oil.

I would be absolutely shocked if the Zulu's weren't included. I mean they are one of the original Civs. It almost can't be a Civ game without Shaka!

Definitely! If I recall correctly, the launch of Diablo III was rather bumpy so if Blizzard is not immune to problems there no reason to think EA will be.

However, from what I've heard from...

Nah. Fortunately, I just joined the community and have not been jaded. Even with small maps it looks cool. The always online DRM sucks royally though. I hated it in Diablo III too.

I hope Civ...

Yes, I agree. I think the only time another Civ wouldn't take on another as a vassal is if they were a former superpower that had been a jerk to everyone and was universally despised.

I don't think it needed to be prevented from happening as it made strategic sense but it happened too often in Civ IV. I mean most powerful nations would be apprehensive in offering the protection to...

Vassalage was an interesting part of the game play but I always got frustrated right before I was about to conquer a Civ and they'd ally with my rival. Roar!!!!

I don't know. I still think the community is too small to warrant a port. If it was large enough I'm sure 2K would already have released it. For the foreseeable future, I think it will only be...

Given that Civ now supports Windows 8, I wonder if the Surface pad would run it?

I've been holding my breath about this supposed expansion for months. I've grown fatigued and very frustrated with the waiting.

I'm gonna be playing Simcity for the next few months so I'll maybe...

We shall agree to disagree. Agreed!

I guess they have to pick their poison then. They either come clean and say they're done and get flamed for it or say nothing and get the same treatment.

I think that the long term good will...

This isn't a perfect solution but one thing I've done that cuts the wait down dramatically, perhaps by as much as 90%, is to change over to strategic view just before I press next turn.

Yes I understand that, but I hardly see how a quick 'we're not done with the game yet' would cause any problems. I think the main reason is stubbornness and a lack of appreciation of the dedicated...

Your points are valid.

The only thing I would say to that is I definitely don't expect them to post here daily or anything like that but there hasn't been any update in months. That is way, way...

Yes, I agree. Origin is horrible. Unfortunately, for anyone (that includes me) who wants to play Simcity, we'll have to put up with it.

I find this interesting.

How many threads/posts since the release of Civ have there been with such minor issues causing so much anger. It's just a game. And honestly, who really cares if the...

Something like a global economic system would be interesting and open things up for a new true economic victory type.

Of course, having a new victory type involves making sure the AI can actually...

On that note, I don't think Firaxis and 2K really appreciate the devoted fans that this game has. If they did, they would be much more engaged with the fan community.

It's strange and saddening...
