Yes, I suppose if you figured out an opponent was going for a cultural victory, you could spread a religion throughout their empire that provides 0 cultural bonuses. But surely, that's an extremely weak incentive at best, and only is effective if they've established their own cultural-centric...

I must be the only person that loves the addition of espionage, and feels that religion is half-assed. There is no incentive in G+K to spread religions to other civilizations whatsoever. Why would you want another civilization to get the belief bonuses you chose? The only incentive to spread...

I, too, have been suffering leader crashes since release. Thanks for the detective work - I'll post back here with results after a few games!

I have a geforce 460, and have had this problem since the game launched. As has been observed already, changing the leader detail down to "low" or "minimum" fixes it. There's threads all over the internet about this issue.

this isn't just a problem with Siam - it's any leader when the leader detail is set to high on DX10/11. I've been experiencing this on my fully-up-to-date Geforce 460 since game launch. There's another thread on the front page of this forum about it, and countless others across the internet.

This has been a problem for me with a Geforce 460 since release - the game crashes my system almost every time I speak to a leader. Turning the leader detail down to "low" or "medium" fixes the crashing. Google the problem and you'll find dozens of threads about the same problem.

So your ideal alternative is for other Civs to not pursue victory because they are getting a couple of elephants per turn instead? Of course not. Civs now play like people. You can't just sit pretty and throw a bunch of resources around, and all of a sudden the aggressive expansionist civs...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Everytime I hear "diplomacy in civ5 is less complex" I cringe. For the very reasons you listed, it's astronomically more complex. For the first time ever in a Civ game (been playing since 1), I feel like I'm playing against people rather than doing...

Ok, I think that's fair. Let me rephrase then by saying that I think Firaxis' multi-platform development process sucks. Somehow, Blizzard manages to develop and patch their games across platforms simultaneously. I understand that Firaxis outsources their Macintosh port, but I feel like there...

I know that Aspyr has a horrible reputation, but it would be really nice if they could work more closely with the CiV team to release patches simultaneously, or near-simultaneously as the PC version. It sucks to be waiting for major game balance changes.
