I've just started Civ V and I am absolutely loving it. Never thought I'd get into the games despite actually liking the look of them for ages, but after a LAN the other day and someone showed me the ropes. Beyond Earth looks incredible and I'm considering going all in and getting a day one release of it. Anyone ele going to be dabbling?

And nah, don't think i'll be getting it. Civ is such a timesink, can't really afford it at the moment. _________________ io chiamo pinguini!

Tried Civ5 a few times the last few weeks but couldnt get into it as much as Civ1, 2 and 4 did. 3 didn't do much for me either tho not by lack of trying. not sure about Beyond Earth, I never really liked Alpha Centauri either (which is basically the same thing).

It is an absolute time sink, though. Worse than Diablo 3! I clocked up 14 hours of Civ this weekend

I thought you meant you wouldnt want to play an older game which would be absurd, especially when it comes to Civ. re: stacks of doom. I liked the way CivRev handled this with Armies. Too bad that was never added to one of the many Civ4 expansions :/
