If I'm having a war, I want my city states to help me, but they often seem stuck in their land and unwilling to cross my territory to help out with wars... shouldn't they be given open orders?

I was playing my best game so far (emperor), about to grab a science victory then boom, England, who to my knowledge had previously been defeated by another civ wins a Religious victory! Is it supposed to be like this?

Ok, the previous poll had a "perhaps" option that people were claiming was skewing the results. We'll re-do the poll this time with only yes or no choices. If you're not unsure or undecided, please go with the choice you feel you are 50% or more leaning towards. This was the original thread...

so i want to ask the people who don't play the game anymore basically because the game isn't that good. do you think the game is salvageable, by future patches and expansions/DLCs or is the core of the game so problematic that the game can't be salvaged? (unless they totally overhaul the very...

in civ4, food resource tiles were desirable because we got health bonuses from them. of course, still stuck in my civ4 ways, i get all excited when i see these tiles in civ5 and send my settlers off. only later do i realize they're pretty much useless other than the extra food they give when the...

without going into the city screen and opening up the citizen assigning thing. from the main world map. civ4 had the lit/dim farms, mines had cart movements, all the improvements had some animation to let you know whether it was being worked on or not from the main map... now it takes so...

i spent like 30 minutes trying to take a city with 3 archers but realized the last bit of the city defense wouldn't go down despite my bombarding.... so you need at least 1 melee unit to enter the city to finish the job? it would've been nice if archers can still do the final melee attack...

it seems like you don't need roads to connect resources, is this right?

so it makes me download one file just over 20mb and then if i run verification again, it says i fail again and downloads 1 file of the same size... over and over again... what's the deal? which file is this?

at least with the archers... this image from the manual shows the archers about to perform a ranged attack across another tile, which happens to be mountains (capped with snow). mountains are impassable in this game, and i'm supposed to believe that archers can shoot arrows from one side of...

has anyone looked into whether this would be possible?

ok i fried my video card so i only have an onboard intel video (G33/G31 Express). will i be able to boot up the game and get into the game (strategic view) without a 3D GPU? i'll eventually get a new 3D card but until then i'm stuck with this onboard video.

in civ4, i really can't stand tundra and desert tiles that are pretty much useless. in civ2, the engineer unit later in the game (see my avatar) was able to terraform useless tiles. i loved this feature and wish they kept it. does civ5 have terraforming back to make use out of useless tiles?

just wanted to see how much of the community is shelling out the extra $10 for the additional civ/leader.

new to this mod, can someone tell me why my cities keep rebelling and is there a way to prevent this?

i always notice when i'm playing as japanese or another aggressive civ, i get more barbs from huts than normal. is there a connection?

is there any point in building these on pangea maps?

what does competing corporations mean? for example, mining corp. competes with creative con corp. i think, does it mean they cannot co-exist in the same city?

i love this promotion, but i hate how disappears with the arrival of gunpowder. how does this make sense? did guns stop people from raiding cities? i don't get it. it's really silly that we have to build a bunch of city raiding macemen and upgrade them later to gunpowder units. either way...

Is it just me or is Gilgamesh the worst espionage spammer in the game? the few times i had him as a neighbor, he went poison water galore on me like no other. it was funny, because my last game we were the best of friends sharing the same religion, and the very moment i switched to free...
