    That's why you read the comments of folks who have already downloaded, scan the thing before you start messing with it, and have a firewall. Amazingly enough, that works.

    They should have written the title like this:

    C I V I L I Z A T I O N

    I think it's looks nicer that way and more streamlined.

    Clearly the game is not finished and needs to be patched several times.

    Until they're done with that process, I'm not even thinking about this game, let alone buying it.

    The first thing I did after installing windows 7 was install a virus :S

    I also got a virus from Colin McRae: Dirt 2. Good thing I was not very fond of that game.

    Hmm...
    Does the *real* boxed version (not a fucking download to pay) come with bundled spyware that is called Vapour as well?
    If yes, I take the trojan-free TPB offer any day. :salute:

    I've never caught a virus from a torrent. Did catch a couple from some suspicious lesbian porn sites. So now I torrent mah porn and have the best of both worlds. Man, I should watch some porn right now.

    That's only placeholder art. I saw the real box art for the collectors edition somewhere on civfanatics.

    80 euro's for the collectors edition while the normal will cost ~ 35 online for the UK version...

    The price for collector editions is getting really steep to be honest.

    They're set. And we don't know what they'll be yet. What you're getting is the first DLC for free. I think it's slated for release in November/December.

    FUCK!

    D2D now has a special to take $10 off any new release $50 or more. That means the deluxe edition with Babylon for $50 or regular edition for $40.

    Of course this comes out days after I make my pre-order.
