    Can you name yourself in the game?

    I`ve been watching some Let`s Plays, but I`ve never seen anyone name themselves (or use a custom name) in the game like you can in CIv 5 and previous Civs. Can you name yourself in the game?

    Does disabling objective goals have any effect?

    I always disable objective goals in options in my games. I don`t like having a pop up telling me the AI won a scientific or diplomatic victory, etc. With this off those notifications go away. However does turnining this off do anything else? I personally don`t think so since the AI will go...

    My Civ game just Patched itself....

    Anyone have any idea what was in it? Nothing in the news section on Steam.

    Don`t like the cartoony look of the Leaders in Civ 6.

    I much prefer the more realistic look of Leaders in Civ 5. Also, I hope that they (the Devs) make sure they say everything audibly, not just a few canned phrases and then there`s a caption for every option. They`re going to ruin this one, arent` they? :cry:

    Sometimes I quite like the deceptive evil AI...

    I was in a game playing as King Socratatus as the English. Things had been going quite well. I was involved in a couple of early years wars, but nothing serious. We had all moved into the Renaissance and were rapidly approaching the Industrial era. Everything was quite peaceful. My closest...

    Is there a way to change my name without staring a new game?

    I forget to name my Leader avatar as me and started a new game as England. I`ve been doing quite well, but then realised I`m constantly called lady Elizabeth which I am not. It`s annoying the heck out of me. Is there a way to edit this name without having to start a whole new game?

    Leaderhead query

    Hi, Is there a mod that replaces the Leader`s thumnail graphics in the game with something like just the flag of the leader? I`m talking like the graphics you get when comparing diplomatic stances etc. Thanks in advance.

    Ooh! That takes the biscuit, Saudi Arabia!

    Ok, so I`m playing the game, just going into the Medieavel era. I`m friends with Saudi Arabia. There are a few other factions around, but England is right next door to me. After a little while I notice that Elizabeth of England was being a bit shirty with me, "Yes?" she says as I try to do a...

    Does the AI search for resources or does it instantly know where they all are?

    What I mean is, is the AI made `blind` to resources it should not know about until it actually comes across it from searching?

    Hey Devs: Let`s get bold: Double Agents.

    If you guys ever do another CIV 5 expansion, please consider adding double agents. What I mean is, give the Player and AI the ability to not just kill an enemy agent when we capture him, but to have a chance to turn him into a Double Agent. So it goes like this: 1. Agent discovered. % chance...

    Make the AI act like a Player, Devs?

    I just remember playing a game of Counterstrike against the AI and was very surprised how the AI would often trick me or catch me out. It would do these unexpected `Player` tricks. Now before y`all scream `Counterstrike isn`t the same as a 4X game!` hear me out: In Counterstrike I notice that...

    Sci Fi show uses Civilization for one of its stories?

    I was watching an episode of Stargate Atlantis today out of boredom. I`m not really a fan as I find the stories are a very predictable formula... But then I watched one episode called `The Game`. It was about 2 guys of the regular team who find an Atlantis computer and start playing a game...

    Montezuma and why a great opportunity with leaders was missed by Firaxis.

    Montezuma isn`t my most liked Leader in Civ 5. I never use him and I always end up hating him. But he`s the best leader in the game. Y`know why? He`s interactive. Once you start negotiating with him you realise that when you say something he does not approve of, the people in the background...

    What is the Vilnius City state music from?

    Or is it just made up? I find it a very compelling small bit of music- Not sure what it is, but it really appeals to me. Anybody know?

    Mod that makes happiness more logical?

    I just wondered if anyone made a Mod for Civ 5 that makes Happiness a little more logical? Non Steamworks version preferred.

    Requests

    I like this game a lot, but I have a couple of requests: 1. Could you please ad more animations and speech for Leaders? One of the best parts of this game and what made me buy was when I saw it on Utube was the realistic leaders and how they spoke in the nearest to authentic languages. However...

    Has Firaxis ever considered doing a Natural Disasters Expansion?

    I tend to keep peace with my neighbours which makes things long and boring sometimes. It occurred to me that there are never any disasters ever to have to deal with. No erupting volcanoes, no eartquakes, no floods, no extreme weather, no nothing. Civ 5 simply suffers from no natural problems...

    Please don`t pre-order.

    I don`t say this to take a dig at Firaxis, not at all. But preordering any PC game is a bad idea: 1. We don`t truly know what we`re getting till we get it. 2. It encourages bad practises. 3. The `incentives` are just bait trinkets to hook you. It`s not worth it. 4. You`ll still get the...

    She changed her mind...

    Dido popped up and asked for my Citrus Orange and Lemons in exchange for some gold and some iron. I decided not to quibble and just accepted her proposal. But then she says `You must make a better offer.` and she wouldn`t accept the offer she came to me with! What happened there? Did she...

    Zooming in closer.

    Hello, fellas, Just getting back into CIv 5 again and I know there`s a way to edit th game to allow zooming in closer to units on the map. Using red`s smaller units mod. I can`t seem to find how. Anyone can give me a heads up? thanks in advance. Mods: Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
