I love OCC games. Self-imposed OCC is not the same, since you can't conquer by insta-razing. So you can't really be OCC if you fight even a little. It's one of the many things that they removed that piss me off.

"I don't know but I've been told, Deirdre's got a Network Node." *drops mic*

I'm not saying it's just a Civ 5 mod (like a lot of people have) It definitely has a lot of cool innovative features (the tech tree, the affinity system and a lot of others). Even the way settling new colonies works is cool. But, that said, you can't miss how much stations look like outposts...

As with the vanilla Civ 5, I feel the developers obviously chose to not introduce some functionality that was either present in the predecessor, or it was obviously necessary. (see the religion and spying that were missing from Civ 5 vanilla) The first thing I noticed in the little time I...

Germany: UA is not solely barbaric-centric. The land army maintenance reduction is the mot important part of the UA and has great synergy with the two UUs. The fact that you can convert barbarians is just a nice perk. Ottomans: UA is water-centric (and awesome), but at least they have the two...

Ottoman UA is great on maps with a lot of sea and barbarians. It's like having al your ships as privateers. You get a huge armada with that.

I did that, didn't work. Didn't know SP3 was needed. Ill just install that and see what happens. Presumably after that I'll be above the min specs, and everything will be just dandy, right?

the program exits as soon as I start (started to happen after patch) my dxdiag is attached. this is very frustrating, because it happened with my previous patch install too. I remember I had to do a bunch of things, and I'm not sure which one worked (voodoo fixes like deleting movie files or...

326 turn science victory Exaggerated with keeping the peace bonuses (+15 growth and the science bonus...), so I was never at war. The only military land units I built were a scout and a giant death robot in the last turn. Managed to get god of the sea, founded a religion with a liberty...

Removed this comment as it is spoilerish. Please see the post below.

You can do that? Really? Wow. Awesome.

I wish I had done that. As soon as I got the first spy I got paranoid and kept him on defense. Maybe if I would have let them steal, they would have discovered industrialization in time for me to buy a coal from them so I could build that damn factory. Built utopia in 12 turns without the...

Actually for GotM it was not necessary to turn of the DLC. It was all in the save. On another note, now after I got frustrated and bought all the DLC (my paycheck came on the 15th :P), by all means, keep the DLC GotM games coming. Knock yourselves out! :)

got a 291 turn victory. I could have done a lot of things better (managed not to get teracotta and chichen itza) Anyway, the map would have been awesome if it was immortal-ish instead of warlord. The start position was very easy to defend, and we could have seen the two UU's in action. On...

Had to get ALL the f-ing DLC. Now it works. Not cool :(.
