The Incas and Spanish are both pretty great.  Being able to ignore movement penalties over hills as Incas is a huge boost to early-game scouting, especially on a Highlands map type, and their unique unit promotion carries over once upgraded, making Slingers really effective ranged units that can be used even in melee distance.  Meanwhile, Spain's unique unit, the Conquistador, is like a settler that can take care of itself, and the bonuses from finding natural wonders are pretty nice.  Neither is the best civ in the game, but they're both pretty good and definitely fit nicely into certain situations.
 
Only thing is... $7.50 for two civs and a campaign is a bit steep.  I don't mind paying for mini-expansions, but the Civ IV expansions had a lot more content for the money.

Nooo.. if I get started in another 12 AI 24 citystate game that ends up crashing constantly no matter what I do no matter what computer tries it after 300+ turns then I'll throw the game out, uninstalled it earlier today after the third crash in 24 hours in a completely different huge round..

It would be nice if they could just put the unit animations in multiplayer.

All right! I want to invade Spain, take all their gold, and make them either worship my gods or die. Maybe I'll share some of my special cacti with them.... 
 
Oh, and Queen Isabella, you make me so horny,.. I love you a long time! 
 
Otherwise, I am interested in Civ 5...I think. Ryan liked it. But to tell the truth, I was not inspired by that awkward reading and flat presentation. You'd think they would at least edit the dead air when he finished speaking each time.

All I want to know is, can we expect to see the Spanish Inquisition? Please tell me that.

The only thing more boring than watching Civ5 being played is watching somebody watching Civ5 being played.

Anyone else think that those Incas look a bit overpowered?

I just downloaded Civ 5 for Mac, and the AI feels totally broken. I don't know if anything has been patched yet or not, but it's really frustrating trying to pursue diplomacy, as the AI leaders are never willing to negotiate, even when being completely battered by my armies. Bizarre.
