    Selection Bias (AKA Civ 5 is better than posts make it sound)

    I hope they download a demo first before buying, as if you don't like it you cannot sell or give to someone else. I think that it is clear this game is not what a notable fraction hoped and/or is just not compelling due to the simplification/design choices. Some will get the demo and love it...

    Selection Bias (AKA Civ 5 is better than posts make it sound)

    Well, be careful not to oversimplify and call anyone with a negative impression a hater. I own ever Sid title I have ever found, most within hours of finding them. This is the first time the "one more turn" syndrome was so lacking I was not compelled to finish the demo. The many yeas old now...

    Help on whipping

    Thanks those helped, I had read the one focusing on the Granary, but missed the detailed explanation of whipping linked by lilnev. My basic understanding is that whipping is NOT an optional strategy, because done right it has no lasting negative effect and out produces the "leave the city at...

    Help on whipping

    Despite a great deal of Civ and a fair amount of CIV experience, I must admit I do not understand when you use or not use whipping.... (using pop to complete builds under "slavery") . For the most part i simply do not whip. I tend to believe, possibly falsely, the bigger is better for cities...

    DU1 - "I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition!"

    actually I seem to have wiped out the barbs, so I think that we need to declare on some other heathens. I was not ertain the barbs had no cities left till the endo of our turns however. Missionaries can ONLY be used if you have open borders though, so they are fairly useless unless we can have...

    DU1 - "I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition!"

    ... pass. In the year labeled 250 B.C. (6), perhaps I was premature in declaring the barbarians vanquished, for new barbarians are seen south and east Santiago. Spanish wise men discover the secrets of the compass. The enlightened suggests establishing a code of laws that lesser men will know...
