    Frequent crashes

    I don't run in 3d, just at 120hz.

    Frequent crashes

    Interestingly enough, I've been playing a few hours tonight crash free. The difference: Windowed mode. I'm not sure yet if it's luck or a real difference, but 4 hours crash free is highly unusual for me. I'm wondering if it's something about the refresh rate? I'm using a 120hz monitor and...

    Route To Mode takes more turns to build roads

    Huh, it would appear that reopening a game can resolve this. I had a case where a Route To Mode worker completed a road over a plantationed hill, the tile had a road, but he was still shown as building a road again for 4 turns. I went and moved him off before I remembered to upload the save...

    Route To Mode takes more turns to build roads

    Sometimes when using Route To Mode the worker will get "stuck" building a road on a hex. By that I mean he'll be shown as building a road with some weird build time, say 7 turns, and when I mouse over the hex the tile already has a completed road on it. It's like it completes the road in the...

    Frequent crashes

    This game crashes a lot. It seems to be worse the more stuff is happening, early game I usually get 20-100 turns crash free, late game I only get 1-10 turns. The game is also more likely to crash when ending a turn or opening a new view (say opening city assignment) than when moving a unit...

    Stupid Harbor question...

    Okay...Well, it just connected. Like 50 turns after I circled my island and could see a ring of water around. I don't get what triggered it. It's not coast visibility, there's still 2 hexes that are technically covered in fog even though I can see the water underneath. And I've seen...

    Stupid Harbor question...

    I just noticed that I've been going my whole game without one of my cities connected by a City Connection, no idea why. I'm on an island, 2 of my cities and my capitol have Harbors. But only 1 has the City Connection icon. What am I missing?:confused: I was going to attach a screenshot...

    BNW Crashes more?

    Odd, I don't even have the option to turn on the GPU decode, even with a brand new card and drivers. It's always greyed out. Is it Radeon only?

    BNW Crashes more?

    Hmm, tomorrow night maybe I'll try the reduced fog. Though the whole reason I got the new card was to be able to play all current games at 1080 on high settings. Civ5 isn't THAT intensive unless BNW did something. I was able to play for 2 hours straight with my card settings on default unlike...

    BNW Crashes more?

    Replaced a gtx 460 with a gtx 770. New drivers, but I guess I should check again for an update. I've got it overclocked, which could be the cause, but I've also been running things like 3DMark, F@H, SC2, and Tomb Raider without any issues for the last 2 weeks. Tonight will by first chance...

    BNW Crashes more?

    Does BNW crash much more than Civ5 ever did for anyone else? I got a new videocard since the last time I fired up G&K, wondering if my settings/drivers are unstable only in Civ5 or if it's a new BNW thing.

    What policy number is Rationalism for you?

    Huh, I haven't tried the Messenger route, but that's about my opener. If you can do it in 6, aiming for 7 should be reasonable then. I do like the free GP from the Liberty finisher. My only regret is having to take that golden age before I've got the pop to take real advantage of it.

    Non-terrain specific pantheon beliefs

    Am I missing something for Messenger? The bonus sounded kind of small to me. Real early game, trade routes cost more to maintain than they make, so that's like trading 2-3 gold for 2 science. By the time I'd have a wide empire all connected, 2 per doesn't sound like much. But I see a lot of...

    What policy number is Rationalism for you?

    Hmm, true, suppose I take building monuments for border pops as a given, without those I could push it sub #7 too...I guess the problem is I want the early policies ASAP for either the free settler or bonus growth, but after those first few I want them delayed until Renaissance. Should I just...

    What policy number is Rationalism for you?

    Say you want to do a tech heavy game and go Liberty/Tradition and into Rationalism as early as possible. Do you manage it by policy #7? Or do you have to take filler because you aren't in the Renaissance yet? For simplicity, let's also not count Oracle or culture CS bonus policies towards...

    Strongest Civs post-G&K for single player?

    Spain is a complete OP monster if you roll the right start, but the dependence on map luck keeps it from being top tier. Also, maybe it's just cause I'm not a fan of coastal starts, but I think her start bias works against her. I've rolled so many capitals that would take a lot of turns to get...

    Immortal - is it worth it?

    I had a surprise on immortal the other day. Monty was my close neighbor, so I churned out an army expecting a DoW. Got to turn 75 and he still hadn't. Seemed a little silly to have a military all lined up with no war and his capital was right there...I generally play fairly peacefully to...

    The AI & Naval Offensives

    In my immortal game I had England do a naval attack on me. Definitely could have used better AI though. She sailed up with 8 Ships of the Line, 2 Swordsmen and 1 Trebuchet. It was an impressive first 2 turns, she blew away the defense on 2 of my coastal cities. The problem was she only had...

    How hard is Immortal compared to Emperor?

    Do immortal AIs get a spy bonus? I've just started immortal again for the first time since early classic and I've been keeping a tech lead, but I'm constantly getting techs stolen. On emp I just left 1 spy in the capital and it'd get promoted fast and pretty much stopped every attempt. This...
