I forgot to add 16. food may be sent to a starving city by traders -- perhaps a food caravan (with a lot of food) could be implemented or something similar. There is no reason for a city to be forced remain stagnant just to balance the game. Imbalance is what makes for action. Let the game...

I've been at this since Civ 1. Hoping... 1. I want to be able to reply/threaten the other leaders. Do/don't do this or else.. 2. I want traders that know enough not to dive in the sea when barbarians regularly patrol the seas, or run into waiting barbarians. In fact I want to tell the trader to...

War does not bother me as much as the pressures and tensions of normal games, trying to keep ahead of everyone. Lately I can't build the pyramid wonder or the great library. Sometimes I miss the wonder by a single turn. I sense FXS high-hand in this; the FXS that equates misery with balance.

I play on a large map with four civs. I mean for it to be easy, yet have to do restarts and I have to settle for what FXS thinks is balanced.

At times I like to play custom games at the Settler level: Gaul, Cree, abundant resources, Legendary start, small continents. Often, what I get is a lousy start, with hardly any room for three cities, scant resources, no rivers, lots and lots of deserts, no natural wonders (ever), and far from...

What I understand is to be featured in "Rise and Fall" are civilizations that once rose and then dramatically fell. Ancient Egypt, the Ottoman, Hittite, Khazar, for example. Of these There's a modern Egypt, and the Ottomans transmogrified to Turkey. These should not qualify for Rise and Fall...

Playing as Australia, I got an extra wild card slot via a great person. Then I built the Forbidden city wonder expecting another wild card slot. Didn't get any. Is this a bug? - running with latest fall 17 update.

I agree with the need to make civ more of a simulation. Otherwise, we might as well play D&D. I say this as someone who has played civ 1->5, and raised this suggestion in this forum for years. I had hoped that unique units and such would develop naturally rather that be a civilizational...

There is a problem with Steam and they don’t seem to want to or to be able to fix it. Civ 5 stops working in the middle of a game because of the local cache, a faulty module of which Steam promises to reacquire. It probably does; and the game works until the next faulty module in the local...

Yes! Thank you... that's the one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starflight

Thanks for the replies, but it is no to both the above. I remembered something: in that game, while exploring the galaxy, one finds Earth, lands, and finds a message in some Mandan ruins..

No, not this one..

I remember a Moo-like (?) star-faring game I played some 15 plus years ago about a menace emanating from around galactic core, threatening civilizations, forcing the lot to flee to the outer rim. I recall the object was to discover the mystery of the menace. It had wormholes and stuff, and plant...
