This gives the combat system more of a board game type feel, and it adds a new level of strategy to the game. You will find that there won’t be quite as much need to produce hordes of soldiers, so it is important to create tactical advantage by attacking with a balanced army. This means you need to learn how to position your melee fighters up front while backing them up with ranged attackers. Units that have ranged weapons, such as archers or riflemen, can fire from afar or even over their own troops. Not being able to stack units means you will have to place different armies carefully depending on their power. There will be no more of the old tactic of putting a half dozen armies on top of each other in one square. The new combat system is a major overhaul from previous versions. While the core gameplay mechanics are basically the same, these new features work to make the game a little easier to learn for beginners while also providing more detailed combat for veterans of the game who have always thought the combat system to be a little generic. What’s New in Civilization 5 on Steam (4 out of 5)Ĭivilization V introduces several new features as well as changes from the previous games. Having the DVD only saves you the time of having to download it from Steam. Since you already have to register through Steam, you might as well buy it through their service unless you want a big fold-out chart to hang on the wall beside your computer. Otherwise, there is no manual to teach you how to play. I bought the packaged version of Civ V and all it comes with is a fold-out flowchart of the progression through the research upgrades you earn in the game. Steam also automatically updates the game for you, which some people like and some don’t. This means you can never resell or trade in the game. You have to create a Steam account (if you don’t already have one) and register the game’s unlock code through Steam. Civilization V requires you to install via Steam. There has been some controversy over the install process of this game, and that needs to be addressed up front.
