How good is Civ V? I'm downloading it right now from the green man gaming free Civ V or mafia II deal.

it's solid... A fast CPU really helps late game... when every turn takes FOREVER..... IF you play marathon... the short games arn't so bad  (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/d33561e9.gif)

I am using a 5ghz 2500k..

I've tried using a 2600 non-k downstairs, because it has hyper threading, but that didn't make the turns faster, and it would crash civ 5 sometimes.. IDK if they've fixed that later on and made use of hyper threading.

Yeah I think I have 200 hours into Civ 5? It's a great game. Very stress free but extremely fun :D
