This certainly would work but 256 GB may not be enough storage for people, mandating another drive of some kind. It might be possible to just get a regular spin drive, but in 2018 I think SSDs are a good idea even for non-gaming computers; being able to load Windows and games faster saves a lot of time.
The video card is kinda eh; it's in between minimum and recommended requirements but it's cheap and a whole lot better than doing integrated.
Fun Fact: The current generation of Intel has more cores than their older counterparts thanks to AMD giving them a swift kick in places. I3 used to be dual core, now it's quad core. I5 used to be quad core, now it's 6 core. So there's reason enough to equate old I5s with the new I3s-- Do not just see I5 and assume it must be better!
Truly minimal,:

This prebuild at $599 would be good too. Probably a better choice at this price! (but dunno about quality stuff inside) https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaCentre-GeForce-Windows-90H2000DUS/dp/B06X1F8KYH/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1520874649&sr=1-8&keywords=computer&refinements=p_n_graphics_type_browse-bin%3A14292273011
If you have someone of getting an OS for cheap, that'd be good too.
Also, I'd advise against going too cheap with prebuilts as oftentimes they come with crappy power supplies. They might literally explode on you, and I will say this from experience with a cheap Dell.
Edit: Come to think about it someone I know has a fairly budget PC (old I3 with an old graphics card). I should find an excuse to do "research", errr... screw it, I'll just tell them I'm going to play Civ.
You're absolutely right in that competition undoubtedly drives innovation. That is one factor that affects the pace of progress. However, we shouldn't discount the creative potential of benevolent monarchs simply because the idea of totalitarianism doesn't sit well with modern democratic westerners.
History has been filled with terrible dictators, of course, but there are also a number of notable "philosopher kings" (as described by Plato), who achieved great feats as a result of having absolute control over vast resources and populations. Sejong the Great, Hadrian Augustus, and Süleyman the Magnificent all come to mind.
EDIT: What I mean to say is that in the right hands, a vast and powerful empire can push the boundaries of science, art, architecture, human rights, etc much further than any individual can through their personal achievements. Unfortunately history is mostly defined by conquerors. Napoleon and Hitler were most certainly NOT philosopher kings, but perhaps one would have succeeded them.... Or perhaps not and we would all be living under an oppressive authoritarian rule. There's no way to tell.
> Then again, one of the most important things in advancing science in Europe was really good Venetian glass...
Ah yes! I too, have read "How We Got to Now".

Haha thanks for the gold!
How to get into exploring Greek Mythology:
Amazon currently has a sale for Civ III Complete + Civ IV Complete + Civ V complete, all for $17.
Pretty certain III&V have Steam codes, while IV might have a redeemable CD code (it's unclear.)
Honestly I'd just go with that, though really, IV Complete on its own is something like $5, right? It's definitely a good game, especially thanks to all the huge mods available.
Start with Civ V with all expansions. I was a diehard RTS guy until a friend of mine got me drunk enough to experiment with civ. My life hasn't been the same since.
I haven't played Civ 4 but Civ V is awesome. I don't know why you wouldn't start with the most recent game, I mean it got rave reviews, GOTY awards, sold millions of copies, etc. etc.
http://www.amazon.com/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-Complete-Edition/dp/B00I4C2EKA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1405389397&sr=8-3&keywords=civ+v
25 bucks for .... at a minimum hundreds of hours of entertainment. I've probably put around 600 hours into civ at this point, and enjoyed every second of it.
Come on, it's not that bad to live in Sweden. Try amazon.co.uk if you want the boxed version, they're usually quite good priced and ships for free over £25 :) I hope that goes for Civ BE as well :)
Civ V was my first strategy game, and I will say it probably has the best tutorial in any strategy game I've found, it tells you what you're meant to be doing as you play, so playing the game should be fine for your first time. Perhaps play Rome as their bonuses are solid, yet dull, in that they don't change the way you play particularly, so it's a good civilization to start with as there aren't any extra civ-specific things to worry about on top of the game. I would suggest also buying Brave New World if it's on sale (at the moment, you can get everything that isn't civ: BE at crazy low price: http://amzn.to/1Emjd4Q). BNW makes Civ V go from a merely decent-good game to an excellent game. That said, you might want to try playing Civ V without BNW first, so you don't get overwhelmed by all the new mechanics.
Can anyone help me out here? I didn't see a link on the main landing page, but I found these two:
BNW - Amazon - $14.99
G&K - Amazon - $14.99
I just bought vanilla during the last Steam sale (this game is amazing BTW)... what's the difference between these two expansion DLC's? Are there others? Is one better than the other? Do they both add different content, should I buy both?
Yes, but it looks like you can activate the disk's CD key on steam
I'm pretty sure it's what I did but I think I bought the CD and activated it on steam for vanilla Civ 5 before buying complete edition years later, so I'm not sure if it's different..
This is on amazon and says $12.50 for PC download
http://www.amazon.com/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-Edition-Online/dp/B00BCNV1CA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1370006519&sr=8-3&keywords=civilization+5
Gold edition is on sale. It will give you a code that you put into steam, and you get the base game and all dlc, including g&k. I highly recommend g&k since the religion mechanic and new civs make the game far more interesting. This is probably the best sale you'll find on it. If you already have the base game, the code will just add all dlc and g&k, which is still worth it IMO.
Personally I'd just get it whichever way is cheapest in the long run. If there's a nice save on the bundle (like the Gold edition which has G&K) I'd get that and worry about BNW later. The Gold edition includes a bunch of previously released Civilizations, which really freshen up the game.
As complete beginner to the whole series, I had a blast with just the vanilla game at start. That being said, the two expansions really tweak an already good game into perfection. I wouldn't be able to switch back to vanilla after playing with them both.
EDIT: For example the base game is 20 dollars on amazon right now. You can wait for a sale on Steam for the Gold edition upgrade, which will be around 2-5 dollars, and get BNW when it's on sale etc.
Oh definitely start at Prince. I had very little experience with Civ (see previous comment) or really any similar games outside of Pharoah/Caesar and starting at Prince made it a lot more fun/challenging to start. Civ is REALLY boring if you start winning and stay winning (after like the first game...the first total domination game is pretty satisfying). And yes, wait for the epic sale! I actually got this for $20 recently (even though I already had most of IV and base V) http://www.amazon.com/Firaxis-Complete-Pack-Online-Game/dp/B00CPBZDPE which had IV and V complete and XCOM as well...great deal if you didn't have any of them. Unfortunately it's over, but keep an eye out on other sites besides Steam for good deals!

This bundle on Amazon is 20 bucks and includes the Civ 5 Gold Edition which covers all content currently available for the game (G&K, all DLC Civs, maps, etc.) as well as Civ IV and XCOM which are fantastic games. Brave New World is currently 27 bucks to preorder the downloadable version.
Thanks! Well, I didn't want to come across as spammy. I really had no idea about this until this morning and am honestly just surprised and happy to be a very small part of something enjoyed by so many.
Here's my book: https://www.amazon.com/Caligatha-Realm-1-Matt-Spire/dp/0692506098
It's a very tough book to summarize, but it examines what happens when humans have the means (nanotechnology, virtual reality, gene therapy, AI) to fulfill their wildest wishes or ease their deepest sorrows, and what the consequences may be. A scientist loses his wife and child, and tries to bring them back, inadvertently opening a sort of Pandora's Box of consequences.
Salt is probably the most important of the luxury resources throughout history, so it's very accurate that it's the best one. There's an interesting read on it.
You can wait for the winter sale, otherwise the best I can find is amazon for $22.84, then buy something for around $2.16 to get free shipping.
Generally, whenever I commit to a game series, I do it the right way. Like you, I'll be waiting until it (hopefully) becomes a Daily Deal..
If the GOTY edition becomes a Daily Deal, I'll definitely get it. There's a lot of extra content, and I think you'd probably feel like you're missing out if you didn't get them all. It doesn't seem like that much extra money anyhow.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GW57JS/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
$20 for GOTY and Civ IV on Amazon
You can spend twenty bucks on Amazon and get both Civ 4 complete, Civ 5 GOTY, and The Stronghold Collection - this is probably the most bang for your buck at the minute.
Unfortunately does not include G&K though.
Alternatively, you could spend $12 for Civ 4 Complete and normal (not GOTY) Civ 5, found here.
Gods and Kings is 25% off at Greenmangaming, and if you "buy" their free game today, you'll get a coupon for 20% off anything until the end of July, so you could pick up Gods and Kings for $18 even...
The choices are yours, and yours alone! Good luck.
Even with the Summer Sale, Steam is no where near with best deal right now.
Much better deal for the GOTY
US$20 for Civ 5 GOTY (All DLC) & Civ 4 (everything) & Stronghold series
Better deal for G&K
US$22.50 for G&K
Note: all of the above games come with steam activation codes.
If you enjoy the game then buy it. Dont be a bitch.
Hell, the GoTY edition is on sale at Amazon for $20 and it comes with Civ IV:Complete and some Stronghold games.
You can get V GOTY plus IV Complete as well as the Stronghold collection on Amazon for 19.99: http://www.amazon.com/2K-Games-40897rategy-Pack3-Strategy/dp/B006OF1BCG/ref=pd_cp_vg_0
IV and Stronghold activate on Steam as well as V.
It's definitely still a complete game and one you can have a lot fun with. It's sort of a case where you don't know what you're missing. Many people played hundreds of hours of vanilla prior to the release of Gods and Kings two years later.
My advice would be to refund your purchase in Steam if you haven't played 2 hours yet, then purchase a code here for the complete edition for $10.
Well...OK, maybe I worded that poorly.
Food preservation was much more important for military applications than it was for everyday life. I.e., salt allowed provisions to last significantly longer, which meant that military excursions could last longer and go further (and cheaper!). Whereas from a civilian day-to-day standpoint its effects were significant but relatively smaller.
There's a reason in Rise of Nations Salt reduced the cost of infantry units.
I recommend this book: Salt: A World History.

isthereanydeal.com is the greatest website in the world.
> Why did you suggest Zenpad ? It is an android tab, right ?
Yep, it's arguably the best 8" tablet right now (trades blows with the Mi Pad 2) and the base model can be had for very cheap (I've seen it as low as $160)
> My budget is quite low, and only Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 (windows version) seems to be in budget. I think I'll go with it
It's a nice device (USB Type-C and everything). Can be a bit hard to get though.
It also has some odd features missing (like GPS, microSD, and front facing speakers) and can be a bit small (8" is pretty small for a tablet. It's more of a reading device, and less of a gaming device).
If you're willing to lug around a keyboard, there are some cheap 10-12" devices that flip, or even some cheap devices that detach.
The ASUS Transformer Book T100HA in the $299 MSRP config has:
PCMag, Trusted Reviews, and Notebookcheck all liked it.
There are higher end models with 1920x1080+ displays for a bit extra.
Hey i was browsing /r/gamedeals and came acros this deal for civ 5 complete edition for $25 and thought of you.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I4C2EKA/
You might wanna take a look at that.
Have fun!
I 100% know I am buying it when it comes out, so yeah I'll save 10% now.
edit: and according to Amazon BNW launches on July 9th

I did the same thing at first. Got excited for a second :(.
And just an FYI, even though the $24.39 is cheaper (it is actually $23.98 for me, so it would appear that it varies), it is the boxed version and requires you to pay shipping if you don't have Amazon Prime or if you aren't spending over $25.
Yes it should, and according to the page on amazon here the wonders of the ancient world scenario pack DLC is listed as included.
It looks like xnoseatbelt answered your question, so I would like to point out that Gold Edition is currently on sale at Amazon for 75% off.
Since the link has a list of all the games on the sale, here are the individual Civ games:
Buy both:It is on sale for Amazon. Civ IV the complete edition and Base Civ V.
You could wait until the end of the week to see if there is a better deal on Steam, or bight now.
Also, the Civ V DLC is discounted right now on steam.
Theres a bundle for Gold Edition Civ 5 + Civ 4 (both with all expansions) + Xcom for 20 bucks. I bought that and I love it.
I have the amazon link, but id have to edit my comment later when I get on my laptop.EDIT: [Here] (http://www.amazon.com/Firaxis-Complete-Pack-Online-Game/dp/B00CPBZDPE/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1368714720&sr=1-1&keywords=firaxis) is the link to the 20 bucks deal.
It's $10 on Amazon if you're interested - it's a steam key so not a problem
It's not just GMG, it's all third party sellers. I think 2K has to blame for this, don't see anyone else I could blame. Amazon would certainly be releasing the keys if they had them.
http://www.amazon.com/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-Brave-Online/dp/B00CYOHL48/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1373347741&sr=8-2&keywords=civ+v+brave+new+world
Take a look at that, Amazon is still offering the game as a preorder.
if you're interested you can get Civ 4, Civ 5 +(g&k) and xcom for $20 here
www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPBZDPE/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
I don't want to make a new post about this small question:
Why does price so differ for pre-order?
Example:
UK amazon £26.99 = EUR34
GE amazon EUR49,95 = £39.82
Actually you can straight up buy the "complete edition" on amazon right now for $30.
So for 30 you can get all dlc (G&K+BNW+all the little dlcs) and have an extra copy of Civ.
EDIT: Here is the link
FYI

You are so right! Modern IRL civs don't just ban random luxury goods (kinder eggs, pot, heroin, horse meat) that gameplay feature is totally unrealistic.
Salt and citrus, so unimportant in the modern world, film and luxury jewelry are way more important.
Film industry: 38 billion in global sales, 2016
Jewelry: 70 billion in global sales, 2016
Citrus: 100 billion in global sales, 2015
Salt: 21 billion in global value, 2013. This is just for NaCl, MgSO4 or magnesium sulphate is another 7 billion (in 2015) and there are a number of other "salts" out there that "salt" in civ undoubtedly represents, since there are no sodium bisulphate, potassium dichromate, or calcium chloride luxury resources represented, and are these key pieces of historic and modern food and chemical production. If anything salts are far more important in a modernized industrial world than in a pre industrial world.
If anything salt should be a strategic luxury, required for most classical through modern era units.
For further reading, check out market data reports (if you can find ones not behind a steep paywall) and this book: https://www.amazon.com/Salt-World-History-Mark-Kurlansky/dp/0142001619
But the original game is still 50% off. http://www.amazon.com/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-V-Download/dp/B004774IPU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370086201&sr=8-1&keywords=civilization+5
If you want to get it, you can get it on amazon here for 16 bucks! Includes all the dlc too

There's a bundle to download on Amazon this month that has all of the Civ 4 and all of the DLC and Civ 5 GOTY for $20. Oh, and you'll get Stronghold Collection. I bought and never looked back.
http://amzn.com/B008GW57JS
Gotcha. On that link the complaints are about steam, but on the original without Gold they rip the game apart.
It's only £25 on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JQ04O5M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ELJROFA
Amazon is having some crazy sales on civ 5 and the expansions, so now's the time to do it.
I'd get both. All the gameplay changes from G&K are included in BNW, but you'd miss out on a lot of cool civs if you just get that.
Amazon Logic:
Civ IV complete & Civ V bundle: $11.99
Civ V: $14.99

V:CE is $10 on Amazon right now.
Firaxis Complete Bundle - $19.99 on Amazon
Buy this, you get Civ5 Gold Edition (Errry single DLC/expansion), CivIV Complete (Errry single dlc/expansion) and XCOM:EU.
Go onto /r/SteamGameSwap and trade away the stuff you don't want for stuff you do.
Just saying, that's what I'd do...
Edit: You're likely to be able to trade the extra stuff for a copy of the BNW expansion, which would be icing on the cake.
Today, http://www.amazon.com/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-Brave-Online/dp/B00CYOHL48/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
G&K is included in gold. It contains all the DLC and expansions to date.

That will get you rolling with everything you need to get started. The civilization/maps DLC aren't on sale right now, so I'd hold off on those until they are. You should be able to get them all for around $7 total. ($1.50-$3 per civ/pack during 75% off sales.)
you should get this version:

Vanilla is currently on sale at Amazon for 11.
IV complete and V vanilla for 11.99
BNW is available for $10 atm - go for it! http://www.amazon.com/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-Brave-Online/dp/B00CYOHL48/ref=sr_1_23/190-5692287-6437638?tag=amazongamesales-20
Sid Meier's Civilization V: The Complete Edition [Online Game Code] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I4C2EKA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_aVoxzbTMKQ896
I think this is the link you wanted
http://www.amazon.com/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-Complete-Edition/dp/B00I4C2EKA
25 dollars for all the DLC.
10 dollars per expansion too i think
Also:
Sid Meier's Civilization III: Complete
Amazon - Steam key.
Sid Meier's Civilization V The Complete Edition
Gamestop - Steam Key.
DLGamer - Steam key.
Amazon - Steam key.
The Amazon pre-order comes with:
Pre-order the PC download of Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth and get the Exoplanets Map Pack + a $5 Video Games credit.
There's really no additional info on the Map pack, but I pre-ordered anyway.
I think an even better deal than $12.49 would be to get the Firaxis pack off Amazon, you still get Civ 5 gold edition but you also get XCOM enemy unknown and Civ 4 complete edition, all this for only $20 link!
So I have Civ V Gold edition, but no BNW. If I get BNW in this deal, what else would I be missing?
