I ordered from Amazon for the 20% discount. Sucky part is they won't deliver until Friday even though it's just the code and doesn't have a disc. Needless restriction by EA.
Yea, you can use it on Steam. Amazon offers 20% off on all pre-orders if you have Prime. $47.99 for the boxed version.Does that work on Steam?

My original comment was meant for BF1 not Civ. I must have been on the wrong thread.
Awesome thanks for the info I need to buy both! Just need to figure out how to get a m.2 drive to work on a motherboard that doesnt suppprt it.
Oh wait BF1 no longer a preorder
Technically you have a few days. Its just the early release. IIRC the amazon preorder prices apply the first week or two of release as well.
..... However...The graphics look like shit compared to Civ V and from what I am hearing the AI is no better in this game. Civ 5 came out in 2010. No improvement in AI and the graphics are worse? Please. It's not helping that Beyond Earth was absolutely awful.
I think it looks better than civ v actuallyI think if I hadn't just recently bought a PS4 and I'm now working through the exclusives and I have a PS VR on the way, I might be more excited. I have over 1,300 hours of Civ V play time, so you could say I am a Civ Fanatic. However...The graphics look like shit compared to Civ V and from what I am hearing the AI is no better in this game.

How does that work? Just controlling tiles near the water lets you build ships?Not having to be on the coast to build a navy is AMAZING!
Just finished a game as Russia, culture victory. God damn, their faith bonus is insane. I almost won a Religous Victory.
The AI...I could not keep them happy, they were always pissed at me for some reason or another. America conquered a city state (Bush is that you?), I declared war to liberate the city state...Did that...may have also taken Washington as well :bleh:
City development sure is interesting. It forces you towards mid-late game to really decide what each city is going to be focused on. Loving the new natural wonders - ran into Yosemite and Galapago's Islands.
The music is fantastic :drool:
I am going to miss playing as Spain and finding that natural wonder near my cap in Civ 5 though.
Not having to build roads anymore is amazing, they are built automatically by the trade-caravans. no longer need roads connecting your cities.
I really like the new design for workers/builders. They have "charges" now. Each charge will build one improvement. Improvements only take 1 turn to build.

Lastly: I approve of Sean Bean voice acting. Not quite Leonard Nemoy level, but I approve.

Am I the only person who finds this version of Civ more tedious to play than the older versions? I miss being able to automate my workers, so I could focus on building my army. Now, I'm wasting tons of time rebuilding workers who self-destruct after using them 2 or 3 times to improve a city.

They automated roads so what they giveth the must taketh away.
In past versions I'd always have a pile of workers with nothing to do so it keeps me focused on their tasks.
