Tellus

How come you got to start in Egypt. In my game as France I'm stuck in Patagonia.
Starting location is random - I actually started on Persia's spot, look for "Paris" as my starting city. I figured the nile valley might be good so I expanded there early.
How good is your computer Tellus and what graphics quality do you have it set to?
Because, aside from the water (which does seem to be the one thing that modern computers/programmes do better, see Red Alert 3) that looks pretty much the same in terms of quality as Civ4.
My computers starting to age a bit; Intel dual core clocked at 3.51, 4go of ram, 9800gtx+. Its still good for most games but Civ 5 is incredibly RAM intensive and since Im still running XP, I had to lower the graphic settings to medium after reaching Renaissance to save on RAM - as it CTDs if I exceed what XP can allocate to it. It has some issues, clearly. It looks a bit better than Civ4 in game, thats for sure, but nothing revolutionary.
