New Civilization 5 Expansion - Brave New World

I always love when sequels reintroduce obvious exploits that were specifically plugged up in previous installments ages ago.

I don't think Firaxis learned anything in the first place from Civ4 because Soren did everything and left.

Haha, and I thought the fact that production overflow not being multiplied downwards was weird. At least that had a cap and you needed to take the piety social policy to fully exploit. This, on the other hand, is completely broken.

I guess that's what happens when the original design docs lacked research overflow, and it had to be clumsily hacked in a few patches after release.

How can they be dead twice? Did they come back to life briefly?
Surprise! Turns out I'm a girl!

Not to thread crap or intended to derail but has anyone played Civ Revolutions? Was it also not really designed or was it pretty good?
In Soviet Russia, Civilization Micros You!

That game was doomed before even the first line of code was written. Civ+Console=lol .

The community didn't get big enough to even test it out to begin with. However, Deity was really easy to beat and the MP community never had more than 100 serious players. Who cares about balance if you cannot even get to square one?

Amusing factoid: This game is the only true Sid Meir Civ game other than Civ1. popcorn I watched a Firaxis video were someone said that Firaxis always works on two games at a time. The 'Civ' game and the 'Sid' game. That's how much of a misnomer the title of a civ game is.

I was looking at some Civ5 stats.

Only 5.8% have won a game on King difficulty, 3.2% on Emperor and 1.3% on Deity.
Prince was a bit more popular at 13.7%.
