Civilization V to use Steam/Steamworks

[Beskar]

I do like Steam and I use it for a ton of games, but I do have a major beef with it. I play games on my laptop regularly when travelling, but I often am not in an area with WiFi. If I forget to put Steam into offline mode while I'm still online, I cannot play games when in a WiFi dead zone. It's pretty ridiculous IMHO... you have to go online to go offline?

It comes up with "Cannot connect to server, retry connection or start in offline mode", click "start in offline mode" and it works.

It does? I could have sworn it just gave the cannot connect error and closed. I'll test it out later.

Weird. I got a laptop too, and it works when I done that.

The only time when it doesn't is if I have both my computer and my laptop online at same time.

I also get the screen beskar mentions whenever my computer is offline, I can just start it in offline mode and play offline then.
