    Query concerning Graphic Options

    Hey AlanH. Thanks for responding. I have lowered those settings already. So Civ 5 runs okay because of that. But in the mid game things get really slow --- so I often play in strategic mode. My question is more about an option in the .ini file or something like that. Any other ideas?

    Query concerning Graphic Options

    Greetings, The reason I am writing this post is in order to enquire whether or not there is a mod that allows or a file that can de-activate key graphics to improve performance. For example, in Paradox's Crusader Kings II, I have the option to de-active the water graphics (or to no longer...

    Open Borders vs. Embassy

    Well, ancient civilizations often did have embassies with other nations. It was pretty common. It makes sense that one would have to first have a relationship via diplomacy/embassy before allowing military forces to move through a country. So historically it makes sense; it also protects us from...

    Gods and Kings Mac

    Are your words the words of a prophet or a charlatan trying to ruin my joy? I've played . . . Civ IV on bootcamp before, and I did not experience "thermal shutdown" —whatever that means precisely. To be honest, I am not extremely computer savvy when it comes to gaming on MACs. I do have a MBP...

    Gods and Kings Mac

    I dare to dream :). "Sigh," o well. I've been playing Civ, since Civ I (is that 1994?!), and Civ V is the only game that I cannot play on large map types. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and play on bootcamp. :)

    Gods and Kings Mac

    My hope is that it will run smoother on Macs. I wonder if Aspyr or Firaxis will be able to accomplish that? Or am I just hoping against hope here?

    Crash upon initializing new game

    I played a game as the lizard race on a fractal world with all other settings on normal (speed, temp, etc.), and the game initialized. So it is not a beast race problem, but more than likely a erebus map problem. Is there any way for me to get around this or am I just stuck? In any case, I...

    Crash upon initializing new game

    No no lol. Sorry, I meant the regular FF2 and not the modmod fall further. I was using erebus and perfect world. However, I was not using peak softening settings. I will try a small map on different map settings and report back presently. I wonder... I know that there used to be a bug...

    Crash upon initializing new game

    I have a problem. Whenever I begin a new game, it freezes while initializing. I wait for about 5-10 minutes and nothing happens. However, it worked once and the game ran well. But, once again, it will no longer initialize a new map. Is this a common bug or am I missing something? I have Patch A...

    "Your maps have proven that the world is round"

    Actually in 200 BC egyptian philosopher Aristostinies calculated the circumference of world. This was commonly accepted as true from that point on, especially since the judeo/christian bible talks about the world being a circle.
