Hi all. Quick question for the mod community. I am an amateur audio engineer and producer and the sound that Civ5 uses when you click anything in the game drives me up the wall. I already know about the Audio2DScripts XML file where I can turn off the sound, but I'm not interested in turning...

I created this thoroughly unscientific poll because I am curious as to the opinions of Civfanatics members about the graphics we have been shown in the Screenshots. From all the Disqus threads, Reddit threads, article comments, and plenty of users here on Civfanatics, I would deduce that most...

Here's a quick one that I couldn't find an answer to. Let's say I have totally blocked off some land from the rest of the AI. This is early game, mind you. Inside that blocked off land there is a city state that is annoyingly in the middle of my blocked off land. No one has met this city state...

When in the diplo screen for any leader, you should be able to hover the cursor over their attitude for you (Cautious/Hostile/Friendly/etc) and see a popup with modifiers/trade deals/etc. However, I don't have this. When I hover, nothing happens at all. Is there a setting I'm missing? It didn't...

I was hoping that some of the more experienced players or code-divers could tell me the factors that determine when an AI is at least willing to talk after a DoW. I've found that dozens of turns (standard speed) can transpire without being able to at least talk to them. I think they have...

To me, one of the most obnoxious features of Civ5 is the Great General land steal. If borders are based on culture, why do I have to deal with obnoxious GG spamming AI absolutely destroying my capital's food and productivity? Trying to combat this with your own GG is almost useless on higher...

I was watching a deity playthrough on YouTube (Berg787) and I noticed that he was able to allay a rival AI's anger from "They covet lands you currently own" by trading a lux resource to them. At least, that's what it seemed like happened (ie the negative diplo modifier went away after he traded...

I can't find a decent source on how the number of delegates for each civ are determined for the World Congress. On the Wikia entry, it gives a brief description about # of delegates by era (for example Renaissance era, each member only gets 1 delegate and the host gets 1 bonus delegate) and a...

Okay, this is driving me crazy. I'm playing BNW as Assyria and my capital has 2 salt. Since there were another 4 salt around the immediate area, I took "Earth Mother" pantheon for the extra faith. Now I've settled a new city to grab 2 more salts but the game just doesn't seem to be registering...

In my new build, I am able to run and play games (BTS 3.19) with BUG, BULL, and BlueMarble installed. BlueMarble works fine, BUG mod (Single Player installation) works fine, but there are problems with the BULL DLL. The BULL options are appearing just fine in the CTRL+ALT+O menu. The tool tips...

I've been watching many deity playthroughs with the old forum champs like AbsoluteZero and TMIT. I've seen quite a few games where they mention The Hanging Gardens as highly desirable. To reference a vid I'm watching right now, in AbsZero's Lincoln deity playthrough 38, he mentions how he'd...

The early-rush/REX recovery economy is fairly straight forward in most situations (beeline currency/build wealth/trade resources & techs/fail gold). However, I currently have a situation where I attempted an Engineering rush which worked out fairly well (though it took a bit too long). Leader...

I'm not sure if this has been posted before but I couldn't find when doing several Google & Civfanatics searches. This is a basic tutorial on the fields and data that need to be manipulated in order to change the leaders in a Worldbuilder file. Specifically, this thread is a response to a...

I am trying to add an espionage mission that would affect diplo relations and war weariness (for a defined amount of turns). I understand that the CIV4EspionageMissionInfo.XML file needs to be altered (possibly in structure) and that's easy to find. However, I have searched Google many times and...

I know that FIN has had its undue glorifications as well as the counter-justifications that it is simply a middle-of-the-road trait. Usually, the latter group will say that the harder the difficulty, the less FIN should be celebrated. I am here to make a case for FIN as I have gone up in level...

Does food-based production count towards overflow when whipping settlers/workers? I'm wondering if it is needed to micro tiles and work high :hammers: tiles at the expense of :food: to increase overflow (for purposes of overflowing into resource-boosted wonders for example) or if the food counts...

I normally don't post anything like this, but I hate Hate HATE when an AI that I am absolutely destroying decides to capitulate to my war ally 5 turns after he DoW and I have taken out the capital, 2 other cities, and most of the army. That is some BS!!! :wallbash: :mad: :mad: :mad:. What is the...

Up till now, I've almost exclusively played Marathon speed games. This is because tech speed goes far too quickly and early rushes seem nearly impossible as the next era military units are available to the AI before I could slog my army over to conquer. But now, I am nearly ready to move up to...

Been searching for nearly an hour (both Google and the Civfanatics forums). Does anyone know what the actual % or :hammers: penalty is for whipping on the first turn? I can't seem to find this anywhere. Marathon speed if that makes any difference. Why you ask? Trying to crunch some numbers on...

I finally got my mini-MOD to load into the main menu screen. Of course, when starting a game as a particular leader that I've added (in this case Alfonso Henriques), the game freezes just before you get the leader screen. I get the following error message when I return to the desktop: Assert...
