A demo for Civilization V is available right now on Steam.
| Quote: | You need to paste the URL steam://install/65900 into the service's address bar to find it, according to a post on the Civ5 forum. Let us know how you get on with this below.
The official website makes no mention of the demo, despite a press release touting its availability. |

Do you have deluxe edition? I guess this 1GB is all the deluxe content thingy. If not, that one heck of an update.

ugh..
first the demo is a 4GB download... luckily though the steam servers weren't busy meaning it only took about 15 minutes for me.
second when i finished and tried to start it up a few problems arise:
choosing dx10/11 mode: after the intro movie the screen goes black and all you can see is your mouse.
choosing dx9 mode: game crashes right after intro.
apparently i'm not the only one with these problems... >_>

what are the differences between Dx10 and Dx11 mode? Just performance or visual enhancements?
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Proxy like the above setup was shown as working by other people but it is a risk as Valve can ban for such usage though mostly it's related to circumventing the US/EU pricing and not the actual game, still nothing I would risk.

After Eurogamer review:
But all of these new features have one thing in common. They're all small enough changes to have very little impact on the way Civilization plays, meaning this game has all the same pitfalls as previous Civ titles. For most of the time nothing is happening, and you're clicking your way through turns in an addicted trance. Then every so often a terrible attacking force will come out of nowhere, you'll have no means of reacting to it since units often take at least 10 turns to build, and in the worst cases you're left with no choice but to restart an earlier save.
Far more common than these crippling blitzkriegs are the wars that make no sense and that you knock back with ease, because the AI in Civ V is still curiously terrible. At its absolute smartest (what the game calls its 'normal' difficulty setting, before the AI starts receiving stat bonuses) the AI still makes inexplicable demands from you. It will refuse your demands, even if you've got an apocalyptic horde parked outside its borders. It will go to war with you, dash a dozen armies against your defences, then offer you everything it's got for a peace settlement. These aren't opponents that make for fond memories. Civ V is occasionally capable of clashes between equally-matched nations, but they're unforgivably rare. If you want respectable competition, you need to head online.
My hype goes down the toilet. Glad I didn't buy.

yeah because god forbid you'd prepare some units in advance to defend what you have, stupid point.

Derpa derp reviewer. No attack force ever came out of nothing in any previous installment and there is usually stuff to do every turn. (Like gathering intelligence about the other players armies, or managing your towns etc.) From the review it sounds like the derpaderp guy played two games and then went back to playing Halo. Just like when he played Civ IV.

Nothing happens but all of a sudden you're invaded by an attack force? That makes perfect sense for someone camping his city with his starting warrior scared by the fog of war

Horrible reviewer. I could write the same thing from watching couple of preview videos.
