I want an option to remove upgrade costs and resource requirements. At least until the AI can handle those things and my tanks no longer face knights and spearmen. Making upgrading free and automatic might not be the best solution, but I prefer this over having outdated AI armies.

The settler interface seems to suggest you should settle fresh water sites but you often have good resource rich settle locations without fresh water, do you settle those? With Kongo seems it doable to have a growing city without fresh water if it has forest or jungle tiles. It can take a...

Build a huge army immediately! Train counters for his eagle warriors and prepare for war! Just learned this the hard way, luckily was I preparing to attack barbarian camps and did my army kill his without any loses.

Hello, I had awful turn times until I discovered the Single Player Quick movement option, this speeds AI turns up lot!

aristocracy + agrarianism seems like ideal for a specialist economy, what faction would work well for a specialist economy? One could also improve it future with sacrifice the weak but that might make you hated and create health issues.

Is there a mod that improves civic balance?

One thing I didn't like about civ col is that it punished you for doing exactly what the Europeans did : constantly colonizing and conquering new lands in the new world. I want to build a new empire not a new Singapore. It is ok to have some faction and/or Social Engineering choice focused on...

Hello, i just noticed that Gog has a sale on all it's EA games including SMACX. I just bought SMAC+SMAX for 2.39$. I actually already owned SMAC but I never got expansion.

Hello, I just got the gold version of civilization 5. I played vanilla before, but while I like most of Gods and kings, do I feel that navies have still only very situational use. Not only does that enemy city need to be at sea, but it also needs to be in a location that can be reached by...

I'm now playing my second game with India and I have the impression that they have a very strong bonus. Normally seems population unhappiness to be far higher then number of cities unhappiness, so the net result of getting both -50% population unhappiness and +100% number of cities unhappiness...

I thought i would get +1 production on each square that has any resource like Iron or sheep, but that doesn't seem to be the case, so how does this bonus then work?

I have just played 2 games of the demo both ending in war, in the first war against the Germans did I not see a single German unit, while I was attacking Berlin. I then thought that I had maybe picked a too low difficulty level(I played my first game at warlord difficulty) so I decided to...

In colonization did you get the USA flag after you declare independent with any nation. Even the Spanish used the USA flag. But wouldn't it be better if the flag you get depends on the nation your play? Or even better you can choice your flag. So for example the English could choice between...

When making civ4 was an important design philosophy of firaxis "1/3 old, 1/3 improved, 1/3 new", civ4 was successful. I wonder if this shall also apply to the new colonization. Just looking at the screenshots does it seem; that at least some things did change. The specialist bars under some...

When I first played the earth 1000AD scenario of Rhyne, did I expect very long turn wait times(when the AI does it's moves) like I had in civ3, but much to my surprise did they quite never last longer then a few seconds. Even near the time limit when quite every available space was filled with...

EDIT: it appears the human has also bonuses on noble difficulty. Sometimes bigger bonuses then the AI. I have updated this post to reflect this. 2 EDIT:I was wrong about tha way IUnitCostPercent works, has yet to be figured out This is the relevant data from Noble...

2 seperate sources (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=129753, http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=129771) mentioned that the industrial trait shall raise the construction speed for wonders by 50%. To just show how powerfull this is: imagine 2 cities with 10...

The last gamespot preview revealed that communism(what allows state property civic) is a technology and not a civic, so we have now 4 know economic civics: Decentralization, Free Market, State Property and Environmentalism. I think that the fifth one could refere to a medieval economic system...

Should civic's progress where the newer ones are the better ones or should all be balanced? I prefere that all are balanced so it becomes a REAL choice. Yes I know that history has shown us that some options like communism and Vassalage, are in quite every single way inferior to the other...

Shall there be a earth map with historic start locations? Like we had in civ1 and civ2 but not civ3. I played a LOT on the earth map in both civ1 and civ2, actually much more then random map. So i hope civ4 shall have an earth map with historic starting locations.
