I have an idea for an era before the current ancient era. So basicly a prehistoric era :) I'd like to create a techtree for this era that will lead up to the current tree. To make this era interesting instead of empty I have a few ideas. 1. Hidden resources All luxury resources are hidden at...

So a week ago I started playing Total War for the first time, obviously I went for RTW. So after two short practice campaigns I'm now playing Jullii on hard/very hard. I have taken northern Italy but the Gauls keep coming over the Alps every winter. I accidentaly gave them 5000 gold too (I...

Right now you can't save policies because this is too big an advantage in some cases (though you can select the option in the advanced options). What I really really hate, is getting a policy just a few turns before going into a new era and then being forced to choose a crap policy or worse...

1. Explorer Same as a scout but with 3 moves andthe ability to see through any obstacles that normally block sight. Comes in the late medieval (perhaps navigation, depends on new tech tree. 10 strength, +50% against barbarians. 2. Balloon A new unit, the first flying unit in the game. It...

Based on this thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=455691 My idea for a new UU, UB or UI per civ. I would give every civ one extra, with the special benefit of not being a replacement for an existing unit. For example: Denmark: UU: Berserker UU: Ski Infantry UU: Knarr...

Which changes you expect not to like? For me it's espionage, it's always felt arbitrary and boring to me.

As some of you may know, a small game development studio has recently created over a million dollar in funding through crowdfunding. Read more here. Far overreaching their original goal of 40.000 they can now make a more expanded game. Do you guys think this might work for Civilization as well?

It seems a virus has taken over this forum! All the colors have changed and there are strange christmaspictures everywhere. I hope somebody can fix this soon, before people start suffering from headaches, epilepsy or christmas depression.

This idea is largely based on this thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=442049 I will explain every part of the idea and note a few questions yet to answer below. Barbarian strongholds Barbarian camps can evolve into strongholds. Strongholds are much the same as camps...

I want to expand the diplo mechanic with a reworked idea of the Civ 4 mechanic. It will consist of three types of pacts between players. Declaration of friendship = 2 players, as it is now. Diplomatic pact= min. 3 players with DoF Alliance= min. 4 players with Diplopact DoF=better...

I dislike the way city damage is done in the current setup. By city damage I don't mean city health, I mean the loss of population and buildings. Disagreement with current situation Right now you can shoot away at a city, even if it's at 0 health (at which point nothing will happen)...

Every deposit of bonus resources gets a certain amount. You use up one of the resource every turn you work it. Obviously the amounts should be in the hundreds, depending on game speed. Basicly enough to last you anywhere from medieval to modern. For example you found a city near a cow...

Does anyone know for sure? I have a good guess but am not sure. I'm also wondering if it's possible to create your own random map script where you can set from which types is chosen.

With world population estimated to hit 7 billion soon, while it was 1 billion 200 years ago, it seems population growth has fallen into a crazy accelaration. Although every global problem has a direct cause of it's own. I believe the most pressing concerns are indirectly caused by...

What I'd like to see in CiV is a health system. I don't dislike the global happiness system but right now there is no local mechanism. I find this unrealistic and unpleasent for gameplay. My suggestion would be a per city health system, partly based on my earlier suggestion for national...

So for everyone living in Europe, what your opinion about the current problem in Greece and how this effects the rest of us? What would be the best solution? Me personally: What's been done has been done. Sure it's Greece's own fault but the other nations watched the other way so the blame...

I know many players are enthusiastic about the patch. I sure am. But as usual, with the knowledge of a renewed game coming soon I can't bare myself to play CiV right now. So do others have this too? What are you going to do untill the day of release? Keep playing Civ? Play another game...

I've come up with an idea about bonus resources in this thread. I'd really would like to give it a try to work this out in a mod somehow. Basicly bonusresources become resources you can distribute among your cities, exactly like how luxuries can be distributed among civs. They will give +1...

I've been thinking about bonus resources, what they are now and how they could be better. Right now they are nothing more than tile modifiers. They increase base yields on a tile, increase yiels with improvements and also in some cases with city buildings. This is all fine. However, they...

I'm pretty sure 9 outof 10 people considers the National College to be the most powerfull National Wonder. What I'm wondering which National Wonder do you see as second best and why? Do you think National Wonders are imbalanced? I personally think National College is perhaps slightly too...
