On December 16, Civilization V will get its next batch of paid downloadable content: Spain (Isabella), Inca (Pachacuti), and a new scenario, all bundled together for $7.49.
The scenario is a 1492 "voyage across the Atlantic in search of a western route to China and the Indies." Theoretically, you can queue up "A Whole New World" from Aladdin to blast through your speakers and energize you across your treacherous journey. The in-game music is fine too, I guess.
I always enjoy covering these games, because it A) forces me to remember learning about history in school and the once-suppressed memories that follow, and B) sends me on a spiraling Wikipedia journey that ends with me reading about something gross.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

The patch is work now.
Yea that is pretty ghetto. The game is nigh unplayable for extended period of time (Try playing anything outside of normal length and standard 4 player map sizes and you'll start chugging as you approach the industrial era)
It's really quite sad. One of the few games I pre-ordered and greatly anticpated. By far the greatest disappointment of the year for me.
Instead of actually fixing their atrocious gameplay (multi/single) they milk DLC. Fuck it, I'm done with this piss ass franchise.
And before i'd get myself in the stupidity to buy those DLCS, i would go and play CIV4
ftr, the only "lag" i get is playing on massive maps with 17-20 other civs during the modern era...and this with a 3 year old PC.
Shitty computer? I have a top-end rig custom built 4 months ago in anticipation for playing SC2 maxed out. I'm not talking about actual lag, I'm talking about inter-turn lag. The scripting for this game is atrocious, they clearly know nothing about multi-core programming.
You're an idiot who obviously doesn't have a clue how video games or computers work. But yeah the game works absolutely great which is why Firaxis admitting to having problems which they are trying to fix.
So stupid.
