Anyone notice that the illustration for Pachacuti looks like The Rock, even down to his signature "one eyebrow raised"?

I'm pretty sure I know what causes this bug to appear. I noticed it was happening a lot with me, then I noticed it always occured when I alt-tabbed into my second screen while I was loading a game, or the computer was doing it's turn. I would often get tired of waiting at the loading screen...

If both of these DLCs had been combined into one $4.99 DLC, I doubt people would have been this disappointed. It's really the "here's 2 of your DLCS!" aspect that is what is driving the hate.

One request: Can you turn on yields when you post the screenshot of the maps in the future? It would help when I'm at work and can't load the save yet, and I'm not 100% on tiles and such yet.

- Where did you settle your city? I settled one SE of the starting spot. I wanted the starting spot for my campus. - What did you research and which policies did you choose and why? I started with Animal Husbandry and Mining, as they have no Eureka. I tried to maximize the Eurekas as much...

Ruins are simply another piece of the game; sometimes good, sometimes bad. I don't mind them being off or on, as long as the removal has been clearly posted in the Announcement thread. That being said, if the ruins are turned off when we play the Shoshone, I think that would be a travesty.

I would want to get away from that lake. If you notice, there's a coastline on the hex 2W from settler, so I will almost certainly move the settler somewhere to the east. First move is the warrior E-NE, and go from there. Most likely I'd settle on the hill I send my warrior to. Of course, I...

Not every GotM is done with one initial session. For example, on game 56, that 3:52 over 7 sessions result that you pulled up was mine, and if you check the actual playthrough you see that it starts on Session 3, so every single submission was actually one session shorter than what the...

Technically, if you had another machine with Civ5, you could copy the save to that machine and play it out there, marking the position of all the ruins and other civs, while keeping Civ5 open and running on your first machine. Then, when you are satisfied, you go back to your original machine...

My time was so low because I didn't engage in any conquest. Warfare is what takes so long in a game (that and AFKing), and my only war was a short defensive one against William when he wanted my Sri Pada city, and I blew up all his attackers. It turned out ok, because afterwards we became...

I actually thought about the Petra thing. I believe that if Petra simply raised the default up to 1-1-1, instead of just adding 1-1-1, it would make it more balanced. For example, hills would be 1food 2hammer 1gold, even if on a river. You could add Flood Plains back into the effect, raising...

This. What you are referring to is the Game of the Month, which is fun as well, but is different from Gauntlets.

Yeah, I coulda shaved 5 turns off with Marble as well =)

Originally, the strategy was to save nearly all your policies until Cristo Redentor and Freedom, back when Cristo was easier to get to and when it gave a huge discount. Now, it means you can save your points and get everything in the Freedom tree as soon as you hit Industrial. I'll probably...

Policy Saving should be very interesting, haven't done one of those in quite a while! And yeah, those hills to the east look like desert, gonna move my warrior east and if those are deserted (hahah, get it? "desert"ed?), I'll settle over there. Petra ftw.
