This began as advice for players struggling, but with the details came criticism of the current balance. Well, criticism is a little more thoughtful. This is just 3 pages of stuff I've wanted to say for a while. Relevant to version 11.7. There are several problems with balance. I do...

Apparently feedback goes here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=11232502 I will move my post there since it 1)better fits there, 2)was three days out-of-date with the new version. Here's what it did say, in case you're really curious.

I've created downloadable content, and you don't even have to pay for it. Inspired by the Civ4 Always War Deity Challenge I created a map where you are under the gun. You're up against the most aggressive and militaristic AI opponents available in a Diety Always War armageddon. In order to...

When a Research Agreement (RA) is completed, 50% (+25% with the Rationalism opener and +25% with the Porcelain Tower) of the median beaker :c5science: value of the currently available technologies is awarded to you in one lump sum to the tech you are currently researching. 1. If you are...

I created a map/scenario in world builder. It worked fine and I played it for a bit, then stopped to correct some errors I noticed, specifically three rivers that weren't fully continuous and moving a start location by a hex. When I attempt to start a new game with the updated change, the game...

I'm making my first map and accidentally added a city. After deleting it, the culture remains on the hex in Worldbuilder, and even shows up when I load the map in Civ5. How do I delete this random spot of culture?

Hi again. A 250 coin Research Agreement option is greyed out on the Diplomacy Screen. Meanwhile my opponent has 250+ coins to offer for trade. What_is_going_on. And where can I go to find out what other broken things to expect like here and here?

I have a city on a tile, adjacent to the city is a foreign settler on a plains tile, and adjacent to this settler on the hex opposite the city is my worker with 2/2 moves at the start of his turn. The foreign settler stands between my worker and city on the only flat terrain. As I understand...

My capital Kyoto has an Aqueduct and is set to grow in the next turn. When the next turn occurs a new person lives in Kyoto, but the food box reverts to empty. Why? Is it because I'm at -4 happiness? Is it because the Aqueduct completed on the turn of the save? Is there something else...

Every game I have started has ended the same way: I send my Caravel back to the New World and click the exit button at the bottom right hand of the Europe screen. It does not happen every time I exit the Europe screen in this way, but once is all it takes. From there on out my units will...

This post made me curious. How many Colonization fans are from non-American countries? For me, Colonization was always very relevant and helped me understand the history I was learning in schools as an American. For people from other places I wonder exactly how grabbing the setting could be...

Has anyone done any testing or examined the code concerning barbarian and animal spawns? I've always assumed that hunting animals or barbarians is relatively pointless in the early game, because if I kill one then another one will spawn to fill the space. In games where I slaughter hundreds...

I'm pretty tired of seeing late game workers destroying all the towns of rival civilizations. Sometimes it looks smart, like they're trying to destroy the prizes of my conquest because they know my invasion is going to be successful, or that they know they need workshops for hammers fast, but...

In the original Colonization military units weren't created by hammers or shields over a series of turns, but simply supplying an (1)existing population unit with (2)horses and (3)muskets. When these units lost in battle they lost their horses and became weaker. If they lost again they would...

Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization is the latest game in the Civilization IV series, a standalone expansion pack that focuses on the Age of Discovery and Colonization in the New World. Though it uses Civ4's game engine, it will not require Civ4 or any of its expansion packs to be...

What's that? You've never heard of Walter G. Daniels? He was an American pilot KIA in China in 1945. If you're curious I've written a document, part-biography/part-memorial about him for www.rshonor.org. "I would give anything to see you, but maybe my being here will help get this war...

Roughly what percentage of allied planes used in WW2 had horizontal stabilizers like the P-38 Lightning here? Obviously the P-38 is not "unique" for having a horizontal stabilizer, but they were not "very common" either, correct? Would you say horizontal stabilizers in WW2 were "rare?"...

Primarily a meta strategy post with references to ALC 22: Take 2. Contains untagged spoilers. This map was ridiculous. Not only do you have stone in the first city, horses as well (before needlessly moving), but two sources each of copper, gold, and gems within your next two cities, ivory...

The key to beating the king is simply to have a huge food base for raising more horses than you can lose in a round. In order to increase the number of soldiers you can field, you need muskets, which come from tools and ore. In order to increase their odds of combat success you also...

"China has 5000 years of history, the US only 250." The above lesson is conveyed in Chinese schools and echoed throughout Chinese media. It is seen as absurd by non-Chinese, who realize firstly that China cannot have 5000 years of history because Chinese script is predated by Cuneiform by...
