I don't find them OP at all. Petra is what is OP here, not the Kesbahs. It is just a very nice improvement in some cases. But I also had games where I hardly built it, because on the tiles that I could built it, I really need more foods (so farms was the choice) or production (so mines was...

How do you get your cap to 45 pop at a point in the game when you still care about building wonders ? I usually go full tradition / freedom and in most of my games I will build either ToA or HG or both, always have 1 or 2 food ships/caravans going its way and micromanage the growth very...

I am not nearly as good as player as many others in these forums, but still micromanaging citizens should become a no-brainer to you if you want to play at higher difficulties. The most common situations that I switch citizens around are: - Gold tiles are generally not as useful at the start of...

I am currently playing at immortal level. I tend to be a very peaceful player going mostly for cultural/science victories and as such I generally beeline for the top of the science tree first, which means that I am never really ahead of the AI on war techs, sometimes may be even lower. I...

Hi all, I recently got BNW and returned to playing civ5 after a long break. Used to be an Immortal-level player back in G&K. I am currently on Emperor level again. I mostly play one-city games and after reading comments about how easy this challenge was for deity, I decided to give it a go...

I've tried using this MOD but I don't see the IGE menu button. I got win7, downloaded from the original thread (v.32) and I followed the installation instructions to the letter. This is the first MOD I am ever using. I have enabled it in the MODs menu, obviosuly it is the only MOD in the list as...

Yes exactly that. That's why I prefer OCC games. Especially back in civ4 where micro in late eras was even more tedious with the 100s of unit you were spamming. And what I like in civ5 is that OCC seems much viable than it was in civ4. Although as many have pointed out it is a shame that you...

ok that's what I needed to know :) Thank you both for the replies. Sounds to me like I can then just as easily play a normal game, but limit myself to 1 city, so that I don't have to worry about razing city-states etc.

I very recently started playing civ5. In civ4 my favourite gaming mode was OCC as it made things more manageable for me. In CIV 4 you had an advantage while playing OCC in that you could have up to 5 national wonders in you capital. Do you get any similar or other bonus in civ5 ? Appart...

I disagree with you. In fact I found it pretty starnge when I started playing civ4 how a nation in the modern era running emancipation could ever make a switch back to slavery. Or how is it possible to go from Free Religion back to Theocracy. I see the tactival value ofcourse in many cases, but...

Here is my city plan, which rarely changes: I usually have a single city for great people points. This is my national epic and usually runs scientists but depending on the game and needs, it might run other specialists and my great people come exclusively out of this city past a time point. I...

a bit off-topic but I was always wondering... Do Life Expectancy and Approval Rate affect the score or the game in any way ? Or are there any useful hints you can get from knowing your rivals' ratings in those two ?

Mad, why u consider peaceful win easier at normal speed ?

The main reason for all those victory types is variety in gameplay. And it is a good thing. But I dont agree with you. In many games I've played that dragged on to future era, the AI had so many units that I could not possibly win with domination. Instead space victory was easier and won me the...
