Steph and I played a good bit of Civ5 last night.  I got a really good situation where I could expand and grow quickly.  The empire I had got a bonus in the food and culture gained from city-states.  This bonus game in handy when I was expanding out and the cities would rocket to size 5 or 6 with no problems.  I had a problem with happiness but solved most of it from building Notre Dame.  We got pretty far, but still have a long way to go to finish the game.  Perhaps we can do that some day this week.
