Science, turn 307, meh. Wanted to go culture but switched to science in the middle of the game, culture output of the AI so high that i feared i wouldnt be able to break it. Second single player game in a year, much room for improvement. Especially with a better early game this couldve been...

180 turns in, many things not going according to plan. Settling messed up, religion messed up. Still in a very winnable position but probably not as quickly as most others

Hey Marc, there is obviously nothing wrong in Acken's post, but since you play with humans i would like to put it into perspective. For me the above reads a littlebit too much like "Having a religion is nice, you can do a lot of things with it, but having first, second or no religion does not...

Im very late to the party, just a quick thank you for posting this, had some hours of fun with it. I assume this was a very easy one for the single player pros. I however managed to be at war with the whole world exept byzantine very soon. Found Barringer early, then kilimanjaro via map ruin and...

When and how to enter an ideology, the question will pop up sooner or later, and most times I am unsure about the best path to take. (I am talking multiplayer btw; in SP i assume its easier since you will usually be ahead at this time anyways.) In 90% of my games either of the two is the...

People being stuck after reload and the AI moving at the beginning of the reload are the two huge issues atm. It is funny how with each patch they manage to fix one thing but break another.

NC finishing time you can handle somewhat flexibly as long as it doesnt come too late. First priority should be to settle contested spots and to define your land. To achieve this has a much bigger positive affect on your game than the slight setback by delaying your national college. Once you...

How many MP games have you played in the past 30 hours? Some problems seem to be fixed, not all of them. And there may even be new ones. Now the game has a habit of going into freezes and once that happens reloads or the leave/hotjoin trick dont help anymore.

Yesterday i hosted a 6 man ffa on a small pangea and we played a smooth 190 turns. I was kinda euphoric, would even have posted a "thank you" if the threads to do so had not been closed already. Today i started four games and had four scraps, mainly because the game would freeze at some point...

ok, some concession there. I was talking nq games only like most or even all the LPs you have seen. Those are played on small pangeas with 6 guys who each have a good ping to each other. After a while you know the guys who you will always have smooth games with. As soon as there is an unknown in...

Thats not really true. Compared to other games civ multiplayer stability was poor, but it was playable. It was even fine with only guys with stable connections in there. From there it went to unplayable for everyone. Pre patch there were several dozen guys streaming civ multiplayer each day...

The announcement also came one day after the yogscast made civ v one of the most watched games on twitch for a few hours, watched by many thousands who havent bought it yet. After playing more than 7 hours there was a beautiful rant about how much fun they had playing a broken game. Pretty sure...

Sorry Knut, this is at least incomplete information. Yes, it appears that clicking stuff during turn processing appears to make the game go into resynch. But this is only one of many factors. When every player does not do it, there will still be problems. What you suggest helps to play a game...

Point is, i want to cross the street, and i am totally capable of looking left and right first. Of course i would prefer a crosswalk, but the guys who got my tax dollars havent built any. (Btw, where in the world is crossing a street not legal? Not sure if your analogy is consistent)

Is this another "stay tuned"? At least its way too early for me to comment on this with words like "great news". Great news would be a hotfix that is not announced but actually available. Rolling back the patch seems like the best option atm, and i fail to see anything illegal in it.
