I picked it up during a slow winter and ended up finishing three full campaigns before spring.

About Sid Meier's Civilization V
Sid Meier's Civilization V is a turn-based strategy game in which players lead a civilization from the ancient era through the future. Players found cities, research technologies, build improvements, train military units, and engage in diplomacy with AI or human opponents. Victory can be achieved through domination, science, culture, diplomacy, or by having the highest score when time runs out. The game features a hex-based tile system, city-states as minor factions, and ranged combat that prevents unit stacking on a single tile.

I did that once too, a rainy October with nothing else going on, ended up restarting my save more than actually finishing it.

Trois campagnes en un hiver, c'est pas un peu exagéré ou t'as vraiment rien fait d'autre?

Not perfect diplomacy, but the core loop still holds up better than most recent strategy games.

I kept restarting because my capital always got rushed early, restarting became the actual game for me honestly.
TurboLegend
Restart devient vite un aveu, un bon placement de départ ne devrait pas peser autant sur toute la partie.

Restarting because of a rushed capital taught me more about placement than any tutorial ever did, and that's the REAL game people forget to mention.

Le rythme du début est excellent, les premiers tours filent tout seuls, mais passé la moitié de partie ça s'étire clairement, l'IA militaire ne suit pas vraiment le niveau du reste.

La IA militar que no sigue el ritmo del resto es exactamente lo que me hizo dejar mi última partida a medias, y todavía me molesta.
