So I was trying to work out which cities are best for building the National Wonders in. I'm not that an expert player of CiV yet, so I had to give it some thought. National College - Science City (Jungle/Food/Mountain) Works best in a science city of course. This means plenty of food for...

So it only works against the human player? As in the AI gets more uppity if you attack that CS? If the AI attacks a CS that I pledged to protect, everyone still calls me a warmonger if I then declare war on that AI.

Buy maritime city-states.

Steam "top x" lists aren't very useful. Since Civ is a Steam exclusive, it has an advantage over other PC games. It doesn't factor in people playing in offline mode. Multi-platform games aren't very well represented either since Steam doesn't track all console games.

My prediction is Q1 2012 at the earlist for new stuff. If they were doing some sort of christmas release we would've known about it by now.

Is there any way to expand the odds window when there's too many factors and you can't see them all?

I'd hate to beat the Battlestar Galactica horse again (spoiler alert) but maybe they decided it was best to start over and the Civilization games start when the people coming back from AC have died out.

Yeah. It still pays off to build the +science, +culture and +happiness buildings in all cities.

Engineers can hurry wonders and you can use artists to get some tiles belonging to a neighbor if the tiles are worth it and within reach of your cities. If it's early to mid game, at the latest, you can build their improvements. Note that the output gets doubled if you go full Freedom social...

Or just always remember last game started like Civ IV did. (Why do they insist on removing features?) I'll go rant in the rant thread. Thanks for the replies.

Is there a way to make CiV remember my last game settings? It reverts to the standard settings every time I set up a new game.

I think it all depends on where you place your national wonders. There's a +50% science/culture output, right? So ideally you'd want to build the science one in a city with jungles and a mountain (for observatory) and a culture one in...uh... a cultury city *shrugs* As far as I can remember...

That'd be bad business. If I was holding the thick end of the stick I'd release a complete DLC compilation along with the expansion pack. 50% off of the DLC pack if you buy the expansion pack. Sure hope they don't read this :p

It could be that the leaders in Civ V are the survivors from Alpha Centauri, coming back to claim earth after Civ II/Civ III/Civ IV sent them off in the first place. Maybe it's a repeating pattern where civilization continually leave earth behind as it cannot sustain the pollution and nuclear...
