Did you get prompted to update or did it happen in the background? I've been playing since Tuesday, never got an update prompt, but exe version is now 1.0.0.17. Normal? Thanks.

And while it may be more of design choices, how about not being able to delete a building (for example after a conquer)? backup then open c:\users\<username>\my games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\usersettings.ini and set "SkipintroVideo = 1" As is seeing what they have to trade. And while more...

I think an UI improvment thread is great... and seem to recall several when Civ4 & Civ3 were released. Ha! Yes. An easy view - preferably part of the main-screen diplomacy pull-down - to see all the civ's resources (and gold) available for trade would be helpful. It's information you have...

So you think we need to play first to know if "Extreme Diplomacy Mode" is wanted? Bah. How about a Civ5 Walkthrough by Sulla? It's "lacking", and I already miss it. :-) "There won't be a Walkthrough for Civ5 when it comes out, apologies." - http://garath.net/Sullla/ Thanks Sulla for...

Without playing yet I'd say... Extreme Diplomacy Mode!!! http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=359842 or maybe more frequent and deeper interactions with the other leaders - but AIs are hard! So either one.

Shhh! That's the special 'secret' wonder... the Great Pyramids of Atlantis. I'd tell you the very clever and humorous description... but it's a secret. PS> It spawns GDRs!

Somewhat. But if anyone finds their bonus resources "useless", please send them to me for disposal. Really. Judging only from the videos and manual - it does look like Civ5 cities might be much more homogenized vs Civ4's, while Civilizations will be much more differentiated via [IMO] seemingly...

I hear playing Civ is very therapeutic. You can tell her I said so. She should try it. Warning: Playing civilization may be habit forming. Side effects may include loss of job, friends, productivity (build a forge!) and any movement beyond your computer. Seriously, aren't you about...

We'll you're not alone. I'm red/green(/brown/some tans) color blind myself. And while I was hopeful it was the video, I too had trouble telling the "French units and the city state" units. If I'm reading Wikipedia correctly then somewhere around 7 percent of the US male population [more or...

Speaking of upgrading hardware for Civ5... :crazyeye: For $169.xx one can purchase either a E8400 3.00 GHz 6MB L2 Core 2 Duo or a Q8400 2.66 GHz 4MB L2 Quad. What's the current "conventional wisdom" these days on Quad vs a very slightly faster Dual Core for a reportedly multi-core aware...

I don't know if it's a bug, a new 'scaling' setting, or a problem with my setup (although I have reinstalled BTS & cleared my cache) but I am unable have the the settler <iCost> reflected in my games. The settler <iCost> is *initially set to 0, and chaning this number adds to the value, not...

edit \My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CivilizationIV.ini the pertinent lines are: (1=fullscreen, 0=windowed, ask=asks you at startup) ; Specify whether to play in fullscreen mode 0/1/ask FullScreen = 1 click on a city's "tag" (the tag should show a solid white border for a...

1 gold for a route between two cities within your nation, and 2 gold for an international route. The total value of trade routes is also adjusted by the harbor improvement (+50%). The number of routes you have varies depending on your civic options, wonders, and improvements.

12. Or even easier than my previous two suggestions (military adviser and unit overlay), simply open the game log (ctl-tab) and click on the notification.
