The brand new engine orchestrates a spectacular visual experience that brings players closer to the <strong><em>Civ</em></strong> experience than ever, featuring fully animated leaders interacting with players from a screen-filling diplomatic scene and speaking in their native language for the first time. Wars between empires feel massive as armies dominate the landscape, and combat is more exciting and intense than ever before. The addition of ranged bombardment allows players to fire weapons from behind the front lines, challenging players to develop clever new strategies to guarantee victory on the battlefield. In addition to the new gameplay features debuting in <strong><em>Civilization V</em></strong>, an extensive suite of community, modding and multiplayer elements will also make an appearance.</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://vexed.ca/2010-02/civilization-5-to-be-released-fall-2010/" class="more-link">»—–»»&#62; continue reading …</a></p>Tags: <a href="http://vexed.ca/tag/2k-games/" title="2k games" rel="tag nofollow">2k games</a>, <a href="http://vexed.ca/tag/civilization-iv/" title="civilization iv" rel="tag nofollow">civilization iv</a>, <a href="http://vexed.ca/tag/civilization-v/" title="civilization v" rel="tag nofollow">civilization v</a>, <a href="http://vexed.ca/tag/firaxis/" title="firaxis" rel="tag nofollow">firaxis</a>, <a href="http://vexed.ca/tag/freeciv/" title="freeciv" rel="tag nofollow">freeciv</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/vexedca/~4/I6y8y4euhf8" height="1" width="1"/> http://vexed.ca/2010-02/civilization-5-to-be-released-fall-2010/feed/ 0 http://vexed.ca/2010-02/civilization-5-to-be-released-fall-2010/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/vexedca/~3/AmPgPjz4AwY/ http://vexed.ca/2010-02/i-loled/#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 02:21:35 +0000 courtney ( lil bit ) http://vexed.ca/?p=4025 <p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LCYPGnJdO1U&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LCYPGnJdO1U&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p>thanks to a certain someone.
