Hello Everyone. These forums have helped me greatly improve my civ game going from barley beating Prince in Civ 4 (I played 2 and 3 but learned everything in those on my own) to regularly beating Immortal now in 5 so I thought I'd share some of what I've learned to help those who are still...

I thought I'd get some ideas for what everyone does with their great generals after you have the 1-2 you need for combat since we can't start Golden Ages with them now. I get I could plant some, but I'm so rarely on Defense (I play Emperor) that seems like it would be a waste of another...

I just thought I'd bring this to the attention of those who don't have CivV/G&K yet. GameFly currently has the CivV downloads on sale. If you use coupon code 2GFT82012 you can get an additional 20% off game downloads. Civ V - $6 Civ V GOTY - $10 Civ V Gods and Kings - $16.07

I'm not sure if this has been posted or not, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. If you capture a city and it has the option to be "Liberated" there is no option to view the city before deciding what to do with it. The options are: Annex Puppet Raze Liberate There...

Hello all I had an idea that I wanted to try out with the community. I think 2K needs to rework the current puppet system. I've been a long time Civ player (first discovered Civ 2 in a bundle pack with Risk) and my biggest peeve about 5 is expansion is punished, and I hate seeing so much space...

Aside from a culture win I'm finding a hard time justifying a reason to take piety over rationalism, even in a large puppet empire. Yes piety gives and extra 1-2 happiness per puppet and the extra gold and happiness from temples means you will probably end up with a lot more culture, but I...

Don't know how long this is going to last, but it blows the steam sale out of the water. If you know anyone who might want to pick up CivV now's the time http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/strategy/sid-meiers-civilization-v/

With all the buzz about G&K coming out I'm very disappointed that I haven't seen anything suggesting major UI improvements. Despite their claims that the UI was greatly improved in Civ V vs. IV there are many things that Civ IV did much better. Don't get me wrong this is not a Civ IV is better...

I'm not sure if this is a bug or just bad design by the developers. If you capture a city and start razing it from the dialog box it will not count toward your SP costs. This is a nice feature, however the city being razed still effects your National Wonders. So if you're building a National...

First I know there are still many things about this game that need to be fixed before we should seriously expect new features improvements, but here's one I thought might be a good one to add in an expansion. Give each civilization two leaders (each with say their own UA, UU and UB will stay...

I know this question should go to the steam site, but I thought I'd try here first. Does anyone know how to delete cloud saves from steam? I have several old saves there I'd like to get rid of. Thanks,

This post has been updated to reflect the changes in the 8/11/11 patch I know what you're going to say, in Civ V all happiness is global. While this was true on first release, with one of the patches they added that happiness generated from buildings can only combat happiness from population...

This wasn't first noticed by me, but by snarzberry and has been confirmed by a few others. It came up in a different thread, but thought it was important enough for it's own thread. Everyone has been talking about the overflow from RAs going into random techs, but it can be controlled. If...

I don't see one yet so I thought I'd start one. Anyone with an extra invite please invite me to CivWorld for FB. My FB profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?viewas=100000686899395

I just noticed this the other day. If you try to land an embarked unit directly in a city where there's a naval unit it will not let you by using right click only. I'm guessing the bug is caused because Civ thinks the unit will still be naval instead of turning back into a land unit when...

In the homepage article they had a really spot on review of the faults in Civ V. http://www.bitmob.com/articles/the-bad-sequel-how-the-civilization-series-and-i-grew-apart In this review they point out that the Devs completely nerfed production because if they didn't then mass production...

I don't know if this is a bug or is as designed, but the longhouse seems to replace the workshop. If that's the case shouldn't it still give the +20% bonus when building buildings? If not in my current game as the Iroquois I cannot build any workshops in my cities.

I just wanted to put this poll out there because I only play in strategic view and I wanted to see how strange I was.

I think I've figured out why the AI makes ridiculous claims of your troops being near their boarders. In my last game I had open boarders with several civs and they were sending scouts into my territory while I was gathering troops to take over a city state on the interior of my territory. It...
