Why is it always New York? I get that is our most famous city but during the revolution it really wasnt anything more that a trade port. I expected to see alot more cities.Im happy that at least Boston is playing a role sice the infamous tea party but what about Philidelphia,PA, Richmond,VA, Dover, DE hell the mid-atlantic played huge roles in the war. This was the birth of the Virginia Dynasty and it was the only royal colony in the the states so the british loyalty was high in Va especially in Willamsburg. It just shocks me that they would choose New York as a focus point when in truth Philidelphia should have took center stage.
Ive played every civ game ever made, even alot of the spin off's (Colonization, Call to Power I & Call to Power II), I think Civ 2 was one of the best and I think Civ 4 was probably the masterpiece of the whole series. As for 5 it does bring new taste and flavor to the game, its much harder to zerg a nation with a stacked military force of doom. Smaller nations are actually viable to win the game, I have beaten Civ 5 with only building 3 cities and had a blast doing so. The diplomancy still needs work but with this expansion it is much much better, the added function of intriuge is a tool I have fallen in love with. When your spies discover treachery like china is plaining a naval assault on your neighbor's city you can inform your neighbor to form a colation agianst China. The city states are a nice additiong, gives you more options than just a domination vicotry. Civilization 4 is the best one in my personal opinion but 5 does have alot of good qualities that makes it fun. The mod's availble for 5 is also a great addtion that brings new scenarios from other minds besides Firaxis. I say give it a try I think you will like it.
