This is precisely what I'm talking about with Civ4 vs. Civ5, 5 seconds vs. 3 minutes. I've timed it now, and Civ5 requires 3 user interactions to get to a saved test game: Launch, wait 2m10s. Click Mods, wait 37s. Click Load Game and select it, wait 27s. Test For Civ4...

Certainly, the best code documentation is good naming instead of commenting, but the Civ4 code had neither! It took a modder to generate API documentation and fill in some of the descriptions. This could have easily been provided by Firaxis with minimal effort. As for needing a good writer, I...

Thanks. I asked about removing them because when I got DoW'd I went from +300:gold:/turn to -30:gold:/turn. If the speed increase is going to come along next era, I could remove some to save some cash. Turns out having 7 out of 8 trade routes with one player isn't such a good idea. ;)

Sorry, my main question was about how they affect movement. The first part was based solely on my reading of the Civilopedia which needs an update given that it makes it sound like railroads are entirely useless for other continents. I will reply here once my game progresses further and I...

I've just found this mod, and it's really beautiful! I've just researched Railroads and started hooking up my cities, but I see they work differently from vanilla. According to what I can grok from the Civilopedia, the production bonus requires a Train Station and a railroad connection to the...

I said I liked the change; I didn't say SoD was absolutely worse. ;) 1UPT has plenty of issues itself, the most obvious being what a PITA it is moving your "army" around to get to the battlefield. What I like most about 1UPT is that it feels like I'm playing with little plastic toy soldiers and...

I really liked the change to 1UPT, more specifically away from the SoD. I would have made CivV mods if it didn't take so much time to launch the game, load the mod, and load a saved game. It went from 5 seconds with CivIV to 2 minutes with CivV, and you couldn't just walk away and get a coffee...

Simple editors like Notepad++ (free) and more complex IDEs like PyCharm (free community edition) take care of the whitespace for you. It sounds weird at first, and I snubbed it when it first came out, but it's just not a problem with a decent editor. I suspect they'll stick with Lua but would...

Is that a typo or did you copy and paste that error? I ask because the folder is missing the leading "B" in "BAT Mod 4.1". Just checking to be sure...

I've had that happen, but not as often. Perhaps it was just a matter of which civs are in the game. I've seen this too, but rarely. This used to be how it worked, but Firaxis changed something with the G&K patch that broke it. :(

I acquired the Scientific Revolution policy after building a University in all three of my cities but before acquiring the policy that unlocks the next science building, Scientific Theory. Upon acquiring ST, none of my three cities received a free science building. This should work just like...

I used a Great Prophet for a Golden Age (8 turns as expected), but the very next turn I got a natural Golden Age from happiness and it only added 4 turns. If you get a natural GA while in a GA is it shorter?

It's not really free if you have to pay for it, now is it? My guess is that it's a bug in G&K that slipped through the cracks unless someone can point to an official changelist for the expansion.

Upon taking the last policy from the Patronage tree, my happiness jumped from 77 to 110. However, on the following turn it dropped back down to 79. It may have dropped the next turn because that's when I noticed it, but I definitely didn't lose 31 happiness from trade deals, and I still am...

Is it possible that an AI is capturing a city that turn? I got my first CTD the other day when I took a city. Reloaded that same turn and retook the city, CTD again. The first time the screen froze for a long time before hitting ESC blanked the screen and I went to the desktop. The second time I...
