So I recently had the misfortune of having an isolated start. As shown below: It's a large map, setting was shuffle, from what I can tell it ended up as large islands with sparse ressources. To sum it up, I have a lot of Inland Salt (1 in capital), 1 dye in tundra, 2 silk, 1 iron and 2...

The basic premise is simple, does it make sense to prioritize Metal Casting after Philosophy, so you can get workshops up and running early, while snagging Colossus on the way? In most of my games I tend to be playing catch-up with infrastructure, and it got me thinking that if your terrain...

So, after reading the manual and playing a few games, as well as looking over the forums, I've noticed a few gameplay changes that aren't mentioned anywhere I can spot. I'm sure they are glaringly obvious to so of you guys, and there may even be a summery post somewhere, but I just can't find...

Right, so I've been wondering for a while about how bullying of city states work. I know the basic premise: Get a big army and demand workers and gold from them, but how does it work behind the scenes, I've noticed that after a bullying, they won't be as easy to bully again, but is there a...

In most games I've played yet, where I try to get my grubby hands on religion, I go for Pagoda and secondly for Mosques, once you get the ball rolling, your faith output will just keep rising and you get 3 local Happiness as well. However once I have the religion founded I rarely manages to...

We are a few friends who have been playing friendly multiplayer civ5 games for quite a while now. Yesterday, we started experiencing problems. We would get 0-2 turns into the game, and then one of us would disconnected. As I mentioned before, we have been playing semi-regularly including...

So, last night i played a normal size random map on quick speed, was just going to have fun with a fast culture win since i didn't have all that much time. The Random map selected ended up being a pangea with me in the center as the only non-coastal civ. Around turn 50 England declare war...

So, just started a normal prince game as Montezuma, first goody hut pops a map, giving me contact with Catherine. 5 turns later I get denounced, and she starts being openly hostile. Is there any logic at all to this? I get that AIs have to be a little random, but this just seems silly...

So, i finally got my hands on BtS/Warlords last night, and tried it out, and the thing that strikes me is: The random maps all seem to have A LOT more ressources on them. I tried recreating 5 different maps, and in most games my capital had 4+ ressources, and every city spot in sight could...
