    Qs on General generation, Xbow uses

    Hi, Can I sneak 2 questions into 1 post? 1) I just played a game where I was actually deleting great generals. They were just way to slow to catch up to where my tanks and bombers were fighting (playing on the fastest game speed) and became a useless gold burden. Is there any way to...

    Can you study Civ 5 like Chess games?

    OK guys thanks a bunch, will check all this out. Also the youtube channels mentioned, did not know about the ones you mentioned.

    Can you study Civ 5 like Chess games?

    Thanks for the input. I guess what I should have been clearer about in my question is, is there a way to step through a game (and where can you download them)? Like, is there a log file kept, or any other way to "watch" a game as it progresses? I suppose youtube is one idea but most of them are...

    Can you study Civ 5 like Chess games?

    What I mean is, is there any way to step through someone else's game step by step to learn how to play properly? I am finding that I am learning by playing of course, but would like to know if there is a faster way. (The tips in these forums are great also of course. Its just a lot to take...

    El Dorado not giving culture?

    Doh! Ok. Got it. I was mixed up - thought you guys were talking about workers, not citizens. When I finally realized you meant manage the city screen to turn on that square all was well. Live and learn, and thanks much :-)

    El Dorado not giving culture?

    Hi, I have a city that is 2 hexes away from El Dorado, which is inside it's borders. Although I got the reward for finding it, my overall culture did not increase when it became mine, and looking at the city economic overview, I still have zero culture in that city. Yet the tool tip says...

    Polynesia - not doing so hot (need advice)

    Thanks for the great tips people. Guess I will wait on Polynesia till I know more. Can I squeeze in one more off topic question? How much do you manage the city specialist screens? So far I have just been letting the AI handle it. For you advanced people, is this a bad strategy, and if so...

    Polynesia - not doing so hot (need advice)

    Wow. I guess I should have researched more. I read at least one thread where they were raving about how OP'd it was (and now I can't seem to find it, lol). Guess I'll be thankful it was only 5 bucks. Off topic, but - how is the new Korea civ for beginners looking for a Science victory?

    Polynesia - not doing so hot (need advice)

    Hi There, Since I am still pretty poor at playing the game (struggling to win on Prince), I thought I would try Polynesia, having read how easy it was. What I thought the plan would be was race about the archipelago meeting all the other Civs and getting RAs with them for a "huge...

    Struggling with happiness, not so fun...

    I see your point on the challenge of allocating resources. Now, if everyone has an equal shot at "infinite" growth, doesn't that just impose a new set of challenges? How would it destroy the entire purpose of the game exactly?

    Struggling with happiness, not so fun...

    Often it feels as though the game slapping on more and more unhappiness as civs grow is sort of "anti-fun." I mean, one of the most enjoyable parts of the game for me is growing my civ. Having to spend huge amounts of resources to counter the unhappiness factor of growing civs is not...

    Not seeing Steam Mods after enabling

    Wow, I did not notice that "Single Player" at the top was clickable! Thank you for your patience dshirk. I can now get into where you load the mods and play them. One last small question - it seems that saving the game when playing the mods (I am trying the WWII mod) does not offer you the...

    Not seeing Steam Mods after enabling

    There is no option to setup a game in my Civ in the mods section, only the single player (I haven't tried multi). Did you mean scenarios? Not there either. Mods has Accept>Enable>Next, review and back. If I recall, when I made my own mod there was in Install step at some point, can't...

    Not seeing Steam Mods after enabling

    The map does not show in the list unless I manually copy it from the mod folder to the Maps folder. I must have some config issues. It may be something I have done in the past...I guess I will just unsubscribe from all the new mods (or at least the map mods) and make my own, don't really...

    Not seeing Steam Mods after enabling

    Hi, I have the new patch working fine. Finished playing a little map mod game I made. I went up to Steam and subscribed to a bunch of new mods. Went into the game Mods screen, enabled them, clicked next and it looked like they were all ready. I see all the mod files are in my C:\Users\<my...

    Manhattan grayed w/Dom Victory - help!

    Oh no!! I am a total . The game just announced I completed the Manhattan Project, so I must have had it going on somewhere and not realized it. I apologize. I feel terrible. :eek:

    Manhattan grayed w/Dom Victory - help!

    All OTHER wonders in the list do show the reason they cannot be built in red. The Manhattan Project shows no reason or any red text at all, only the white text about ~ allows your civ to make bombs and missiles. Edit: as a test I granted all techs to my Civ with the tuner. No change (except...

    Manhattan grayed w/Dom Victory - help!

    Howdy, I made a custom map & mod and set victory conditions to domination victory only. I have uranium and completed the tech for Manhattan and A bomb (and actually the next tech after that). In my city production screen the Manhattan Project is grayed out! Any thoughts? Is it...
