I still kind of can't believe this expansion exists, but I am absolutely not complaining.

I am a little embarrassed about my nearly 2000h (yes 2k) in Civ 5.
2-3 Expansions are civ-standard

I agree, but EA owns the rights to that, not 2k, or Sid.

Then they should make a game with a similar premise and call it "XCOM: Terraform the Deep."

These sound like REALLY cool ideas, but I bought Gods and Kings and never played it... so I don't know about falling for that AGAIN.

I've seen William Morgan Sheppard in a lot of things over the years, but his voice always takes me straight back to Bishop Malveaux in Zork Nemesis. Odd that the first thing I ever saw him in happened to be a video game.

Wow, I'm getting excited for Civ 5 again. Third expansion is a charm. Civ 4 didn't become the masterpiece is was, until Beyond the Sword came out and the game finally came together properly.

I love the idea of having to smuggle out great works of art from a city that's about to be conquered to keep them out of the invaders hands. That's great!

edit: Also the way they're adding archaeology to the game sounds awesome.

July can't come fast enough as far as I'm concerned. I love going for cultural victories when I'm not interested in playing a war game, but the standard pump culture and fill the policy trees gameplay has been getting stale for me lately. This tourism and archaeology stuff looks like it'll be a great change of pace. I also really like the idea of the world congress system they're introducing as well.

I'm a weirdo. I loved playing for the cultural victory, so this excites this one greatly. It seems there are some new leaders; it'd be cool if they did the Dalai Lama or something, quite the vibrant culture that.

That's considered weird? Cultural victory is the ONLY way to play. War is such a headache.

No more Utopia Project? I liked the idea of the greatest artists, writers, and scientists holding some sort of conference and emerging with the means to create a perfect society.

@draxyle: Yes, but Nimoy has deserved his retirement though.

Would have loved to be there in the room when Leonard Nimoy reached this part of his script. It's a shame they couldn't get him back for Civ 5.

Narrator's voice sounds eerily familiar. Help me out?

I know it's not, but the guy always sounds like he's trying to be Liam Neeson to me.

It seams they are introducing a new civilization: Portuguese. In the trailer we can see Porto, Lisbon, Coimbra, Braga, Funchal... Seems fair and a bit late, since we were a great civilization once before..

How embarrassing... had a feeling it should have been completely obvious.

Did make me want to watch the Civ Rev trailer with Henry Rollins though.
