I have Civ 5. Great game as always, still the same basic concept as 4 with a much improved UI. My only issue with the game is lack of time to play it...

I love Civ 5 also. I would really enjoy trying a MP match, I just need to tear myself away from COD:BO and Fallout first.
I'd be in on a Civ 5 match if there's one at a time that I'm available, like Thursday evening.

Cool. I took the cheapskate "supersaver" shipping option so I probably won't have it until next week sometime, at the earliest. We should pick an evening after the Turkey Day break--preferably some evening when we have a LONG time to play!
I may try and pick this up on Steam this weekend if I get a chance. Not that I have a ton of time to play, but my teaching gig only has 3 more lectures (off next Wed night) and the final exam and then I'm done, so I'll have some free time. Doesn't look like I have any classes for the spring either. I like the free time, But I'll miss the extra $2,500+ for 3hrs a week of my time for 3 months. Well, maybe 5hrs with class prep and grading papers.

My copy turned up on Saturday. I'm installing it right now. The disc copy actually activates and installs through Steam, which is really cool, because it means I can install it on my laptop too. Probably won't have too much time to fool with it before my Thanksgiving vacation, but I'm looking forward to playing it (hopefully with you guys) when I get back next week.
Update: after installing, the game crashes silently to desktop right after the Firaxis cinematic. Loading without the movies doesn't help. Reloading on my gaming desktop from Steam's repository (hoping I just had a bad DVD). I'll have to see if it does the same on my laptop after I'm done using it as a spare TV for football. According to the Steam forums, this problem is fairly common.
