Combat seems much more interesting, but the poor interface and taking out religon/espionage/detailed diplomacy make me a bit disappointed in Civ 5 so far. There's plenty of bugs in the new game too.
It's still prob an excellent strat game but very very different to the Civ I'm used to.

Originally posted by JackKingOff View Post2nd in JPs End of Month last night, about the only tourney i run good in and play well in. Savage tourney with lotssss of play and replayed levels, its a must play tourney for people looking for a decent game and payout at the end of the night. Really doubt JP makes anything on the night.
Average for the FT was 120k should have came onto it with 500k lol but 300k had to do . Getting 2,3,4 outtered on a regular basis is great craic. Couldn't get going on the FT and the other lad basically knocked everyone off the FT. Got heads up with him my 200/300k to his 900k lol got with in with AJ v his AA flop and up and down and it bricks.
Really cant speak more highly of this tourney, anyone with access to this game should be playing it imo.
As for the game it probably is a great game but for somebody that wouldnt play it regularly or attend many of his pub games it can be a bit much when 15% of the prizepool is held back for his pub leagues and other bits if you get me?

But the error message is that they are experiencing down time/maintenance.
Weird.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

I'm currently playing through Tales of Monkey Island. There's five episodes. I'm on the second one at the moment. Can't recommend it enough.
Other good games in similar vein are the Broken Sword series and Grim Fandango which is my personal favourite.

Bit surprised after when a well known rovers player refused to give some kid with a fake microphone an interview but loads of his team mates made up for him being a bit of a dick tbf.

Just awesome games, brilliant gameplay and usually great/funny stories. Games got infinitely worse when they moved from well crafted decent fun stories to just endless rehashes of Wolfenstein 3D.
Think I'll have to go looking for my old copy of Grim Fandango. It's been too long.
