Excellent tactical battles and a slick interface make the latest Civilization another wonderful addition to a classic franchise. Kevin VanOrd fills you in.

who the hell did the sound mixing for this video? It sounds like 4 songs are playing over each other, so distracting

Who else came here because of the summer sale?

[MarcTheMessenger]

steam sale.. but idk what this game is about looks confusing like starcraft

[wheelmanstan]

I just want to play a new age of empires game

[FusRoDahRico]

I really loved how Kevin Vanord presented things. There is a certain level of eloquence and convincingness to it that other game hosts rarely can be compared with.

You don't have to micro manage. You can set units to complete a specific task or do what they want while you control other units.

[Darkboy]

Thanks ! seems good, but the battles are also just on the map right ? not like in total war ?

[nownline]

That was the most exceptional presentation review I have ever seen. great job!

[BushBumperBaker]

If there is no religion then what is all this war about?

[Darkboy]

Thanks a lot for explaining to me :) also I do play total war games, so I assume it is the same 'turn based' system as you ment right ? if you like stratagy games, and creating an empire, and rull over somethings this might be something to try ? I am pretty intrested in this game, but just want to know a little more from people like you who have experience with it .. you recommand it ?

I checked out this game while it was f2p this weekend and it totally blew my mind how fun it is!

[nickdg]

friendly hint, don't play the trumpety, bombastic background music at full volume if you want people to pay attention to what you say

[gominireo]

That was the most well written review I've ever watched.

I'm thinking about getting this on steam, but one question, as i'm new to the series, is it easy to learn and get into???

[MADdaDJ]

Should I start playing this? I've never played anything like it before. I don't like to micro manage but this game looks awesome

[SkinheadOiNS]

@BohleyK Is it similiar to knights of honor? I was really addicted to that game but I've never played Civilization

[bjdotson]

Yea, its 66% off this weekend, is it good? I'm mostly lookin into multiplayer, do people still play it? Opinions please.

[gears]

Its both, the single player gives you an awesome experience from a single game that can go on for days (if you save then resume) and the multi player is awesome as well. Multiplayer works the same as single player, only difference is you have a time limit and no more cutscenes for other civs. Its a great game and really worth checking out

Am I the only one who actually doesn't exactly enjoy this game? I really enjoy the detail of creating a civilization such as the act of city building. But with this game, you don't get that. Also I never was a fan when it came to the warfare. I much preferred simply making my civilization. Sure, if I have to fight, okay I'll do it, but I don't enjoy it. The way this game is set up makes me feel like the game is too small. How everything is so large compared to how the map is laid out. I'm sorry, but I'm not liking it all that much.

anyone know what this guy is called? i love his reviews
