I can point to a few things: 1. The tile yields are really low and there are penalties for everything, which makes for very few exciting decisions or moments. Every moment that should be great is tempered in some way. 2. There is a serious lack of immersion. 3. It's the fifth game is the series...

-The combat is utterly ruined because the AI doesn't understand how it works. -Diplomacy is a waste of time because the AI leaders are crazy people. -Whatever the intention of the developers, the latest patch increases punitive penalties and makes the game even less fun. It has also introduced...

The Academy is now a tile improvement. Put your Great Scientist on a tile outside and build it there. It gives 5 beakers. I have one big problem: I can't get enough money! I know this is a big question but what are the main sources of gold in this game? How do I get the best out of a...

What he said.

Hint: The flood plain.

Wah...? Ever since I installed the latest patch, wierd stuff has been happening. My install is perfectly clean, except for Blue Marble. (the warrior popped the scout from a hut, btw)

So that's how this thread got so long!

Hey *munch* I've got this omlet here. *chew chew* Sid fried it up for me, such a nice guy *chew munch* It's got: top quality ham top quality cheese top quality egg top quality onion top quality green pepper etc. Cooked to perfection, absolute best omlet ever. Mmmm. Very delecious...

Y'know what's happening here? I'm messing with the board. I was cutting/pasting etc. to edit the original, and somehow it made a new post under your reply of my original, and now everything screwed up. That particular comment was directed at the TC in the original post but edited out, because...

What you are doing is nit-picking. A detail such as this has no influence on the quality of the game. Let it go. If you cannot stand it, either create a mod, or don't play the game. But please, do not scrape and scratch in an effort to find the smallest problems in this excellent game. What I...

There is a lot of debate, but historians agree that the bare-minumum number of people whose deaths Stalin is repsonsible for lies around ten million. Ten million people. Next time you pull an assertion out of your ass, wiegh it against the mile-high pile of starved and shot to death.

Ok, ok, this has just absolutely made my ****ing day. Donsig and Chieftess are still going at it on this same issue, and there is still no way Chieftess is ever going to "loose." And you got Daveshack on the side here, who knows the "real" history, but can't say anything: your highness has...

NO! ****er.

Helmling is right (and HAS A ****ING AMAZING NAME TOO! GO DnD! Rooool your D20 ok n/m) What you have to do is build ships and PROACTIVELY seek them out and destroy them. The AI is ******ed with their navy. You can still get screwed because there is no zone of control gawd damn what a *****.

I'm drunk. There are a lot of people having stupid ass problems here. I've gotten these up to Emperor, so take this for what it is. OK! There are two ways. Here's what you do: ONE!: ****in', choose a non-agressive civ, because it won't do you anything good, k? Then, focus on expansion in...
