Civilization V is one of MyGaming’s most anticipated upcoming titles, and having spent a significant amount of time with pre-release code, I can safely say that fans of the series will not be disappointed. A number of fundamental changes, such as more tactical combat, and the switch to a hexagonal tile set, make this one of the most promising Civ games ever.
Other new features to look forward to include City States, which act as mini countries to befriend or conquer; the removal of religion and a new culture spreading system; a new city defense mechanic; and of course, a brand new visual overhaul. Have a look at MyGaming’s Civilization V hands-on preview for more details.
Firaxis has released a 13 minute long gameplay walkthrough, which shows off some of the new gameplay features, including various ins-and-outs regarding the new politics system, as well as the new combat system.
Civilization V is set for release on September 24, and will be available on PC.
