My cc cycle ends around the 24th/25th so I'll be pre-ordering it soon...that is if the wife doesn't get on to me :)

Does it require the base game? Nevermind I see it does.

Oh GUUUUSSSS!!! Check this piece from the marketing out... a new scenario:

QuoteEmpires of the Smoky Skies: Build flying airships and huge tractor-like tanks from the unique tech tree of this Victorian science-fiction scenario, and use them to spread your empire across the pre-industrial world.

STEAMPUNK CIV!

^That is the whole reason why I am even looking at Gods and Kings :) I am going to play that scenario so hard it's mother will feel it.

Actually there was another scenario that fancied my tickle too...I forget what it was...

It sounds pretty freakin' awesome. I remember the first scenario expansion for Civ II had a post-apocalyptic scenario that was really awesome, and I loved playing the Mutant faction. I wish they would remake that one!

I thought I read somewhere that this new steampunk scenario is either a fleshed out mod or is based on one...

Here is something else to like! Debates about Steam, eh....whatever. For most of us, it's what we got. One of my favorite features for Skyrim is the ability to easily add someone's mod directly from Steam via the Workshop. Well, now that feature is going to be available for Civ V! Click on Steam, check out new mods/units/etc....., check a box and there you go. Sweet!

Quick Civ V question...in the standard game, without mods, can I adjust what era my game starts and ends in? For example, if I want to start in the Renaissance era and stop progression at the Industrial era, can I do that?

I think you can change the start era but cannot stop in a certain era, you just play through to the space age era or whatever the last one is called.

You can modify the victory conditions to influence how the game will end.

^But no matter what the game will always finish in the Space Age?

I remember at least one prior version of Civ, maybe Civ II, where the ending era could be chosen too.

:(
