Please try again now. Hopefully that should be fixed, at least for adding.

Until proper fix we might have more issues in the future with updating the list.

Thank you for the input!

Here are my reasoning and counter points to open the debate.

I hate to see that Quadro there too but as far as I know this is still the only way to have 10 bit colors on opengl apps... I would love to be contradicted though and get a 1050 Ti instead or something like that (or even to rely on the cpu), but this doesn't seen like an option.

The build is not directly for me, though I'll be able to benefit as well, but I don't think the main users would need 64GB any time soon, and would rather spare the 100€ on what is already pretty pricey. I believe 1x16 is obviously not better than 2x8. Then even if it needs to be changed I can probably find a use for a spare 2x8 anyway.

The optical drive is a requirement as there are old data stored on CD and DVD that need to be retrieved, as well as still the occasional burn. Also at that point it's really not for the 15€, though it also did reduce the choices for the case.

Then the case was mostly based on personal preference, unless there is a strong argument for/against one or the other. Silence is one selling point among others such as airflow and ease of build. The R5 was on my list but deemed too bare visually, for whatever that is worth.

Indeed, pretty good first few hours for a civ release!

I did have some recurring crashes though in longer game (after turn 300ish with 6 players) but at least there is autosave.

Otherwise performance it's really good, it felt better than civ5 in late game. The game is still responsive while it's the IA turn, that really makes a huge difference.

As for gameplay it's pretty much all that was expected from pre-release info.

Maybe playing wide is a bit too OP though if not completely required.

Btw you can somewhat stack units again, there's also a merge option for units of the same type.

Overall a good game, spiritually not that far from 5. If you are short on budget it's probably still worth playing 5 and waiting for 6 sales/expansions.

There are definitely things that could and will be improved over time such as mentioned, IA (I still need to test the top difficulties but in prince/king it was really too easy), UI (in general I like it except that some important features are too hard to find), some buildings/districts that feel much less useful than others, ...

Keep in mind this is also a quick review after only a game.



Both in top 10 now that's something. And pretty much the first time the 5 is so slow since its release!

What kind of going down, and since when are you talking about?

If you mean before today, that's what we're desperately trying to prevent!

If you mean 2 or 3 times in the last few hours, and if it only lasted few seconds, it might just be that I had to restart when I applied new config and stuff like that to make sure everything is in order.

The last restart was around 1 hour ago, if you saw it down since then I would like to know more.

I might however do more of those quick restarts in the near future as I see fit.

So to help us better debug those issues we are currently on a new server! Some stuff might not work as expected until I finish setting up everything.
