OK, so it is unplayable and there is not going to be any constructive feedback just because of that.
I've tried a couple of MP games recently with Russian guys on CFR. We had all retail Civ V but were playing outside of Steam with some VPN client. It does work much better. I'll see what can be found about that option for PB. Also, I'm rusty and completely ignorant about Civ V and it is not a very exciting game anyhow. I don't like the single city games and in MP, this strategy apparently is extremely effective and popular even on larger maps. The game seems to be somewhat broken in this regard to the extreme. As the city numbers dwindle down gradually from version to version, in some peculiar attempt to fight with ICS by the developer, it does culminate in a strange game of Civ V where for best results in MP, you have to have only a single city. There are alternative tactics though but not as superior.

With CS around there's not much need for expansion to get the required resources. You can't play MP with CS, but CS are the defining factor of this version. Thus, you can only play Civ5 SP.

If you cannot play MP with CS, then there must be one or several other superior strategies for playing MP, right? So why wouldn't you be able to play Civ5 MP??

You can play MP with CS, but you shouldn't: it's a random game-swinging effect designed for SP. But without CS, there's not much that sets civ5 apart from, well, other boring games.
"Can't" as in "you could, but you'll have just as much fun anally fisting yourself"

Thanks for the anal part, this is now very clear (kinda).

What sets this site apart from other sites are our thorough anal yses.
