Backup / Transfer data to new computer

Question

I am upgrading to a new computer and would like to retain settings / saves and my hall of fame.

What folder locations should I backup and later restore?

Are there any gotchas?

Edit: Windows 7

Answer

All user data is stored in My Documents > My Games > Sid Meier's Civilization 5. Copying this folder to the equivalent location on your new computer after installing the game will transfer your saves. You should double check everything has transferred correctly before getting rid of your old computer though!
