I wish the names automatically given to cities were chosen randomly from the civ's list. So your second city as France might be Montpelier instead of Orleans yet again. Yesterday, I posted this on Reddit's Civilization subreddit. Here is what I said: -- "Oh look, it's France, and here's...

My first game is as Brazil and... The only Golden Ages I seem to get are from Wonders and Social Policies and spending great artists out of despair. I had the same problem with Persia; it seems I have no idea how to use Golden Age strategies. For most of the game my Happiness is close to zero...

I'm a plebe who plays on King in G&K. The game is waiting for me at home when I'll come back from work. To those who have played games, did you reduce the difficulty for your first game? Was it worth it? Or did you just keep playing on the same difficulty? How did it go? I have this...

I was just reading a discussion about gamers who have arachnophobia and their problem with certain games. I've once seen a website for arachnophobe gamers listing which games they should avoid, or games that had no-spider mods (I can't find it again!). I can't say spiders cause much effect on...

http://playstarbound.com/ If you hate Terraria you might as well leave the thread now. I can't wait for this to come out! It's supposed to be released in "early 2013", but I wouldn't be surprised if it were delayed, because the more excited I am about something, the more delayed it becomes...

Started a game on King as Greece trying to do a diplo victory. Large map. Have been allied with about 6 city states all game long (need 10 votes). Built the UN. Have been playing this game for like 10-15 hours. Now, the time has come for the vote, in the last 50 turns I managed to get...

I just made the move to King, but I had a similar problem in Prince. I don't usually like going to war super early, but I'll do it when my neighbor is very close, especially on a small island like it just happened for me. I was China, he was Japan, one had to go. Except it took basically the...

I've had a problem for a long time where Catherine's diplo screen flickers, well, I should say some parts of the background of it flicker, behind the draperies it seems. In any case, I didn't really mind that. However, today my graphics card crashed and I got crashed to desktop on that diplo...

Once you ask for e-mail notifications for a thread, is there a way to receive an e-mail EVERY TIME someone posts in a thread, and not just the first time someone posts after you posted? If not, is this something that could exist?

... Is coming! http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/arts/video-games/dungeons-dragons-remake-uses-players-input.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all?src=tp http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20120109 It seems they have finally come to their sense. I like 4e, I like the choices, I like...

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/01/05/february-cover-revealed-xcom-enemy-unknown.aspx It seems Firaxis wants to say "screw you" to the guys who are currently making the betrayal of a game that is going to be the first person shooter "UFO" game, and release their own actual...

Does anyone here record their gaming sessions, or stream them? There seems to be a wide variety of websites that can stream, and some people seem to record and upload to YouTube. I'm a little confused with all the options. Of course I'm looking for free solutions. I was looking at Twitchtv for a...

I seem to have a problem with most "Free to play" games. Although I guess most of my complaints apply only to MMO style games? I'm kind of a "everything or nothing" guy. I don't really like to compromise. Of course, most Free to play games will have you compromise. Often you won't be able to...

I just bought a new computer with a 1TB hard drive. It's a Windows 7 64 bits machine. Within a few hours of announcing this, 3 people talked to me about partitions (really guys?), and I've read conflicting information concerning the benefits of it (especially with speed). Is there a reason I...

Or "Heroes of Might and Magic VI" for the traditional gamers around here :P What's going on with this game? I was a huge HoMM 2 and HoMM 3 fan, still play them sometimes along with Age of Wonders games... Now this new game comes out today on PC and it seems to be going on in a sea of apathy...

So I tried going for a few domination victories. I never managed to actually fill up autocracy. Is it me or it's made for someone who would decide to go domination only towards the end of the game and annihilate/snipe everybody's capitals with armies coming from a smallish empire? It's kind of a...

Hi. This is the first time I have a problem with crashes in this game. The game crashes when I try to load this save game (see attached). I tried to load autosaves from 5-10 turns earlier but they all crash. I can load any save games from other games I've played earlier. At some point I had a...

I tried to find a similar topic but couldn't (but I can't find milk in the fridge either so...). My question is: in the games you have played, which AI civs seem to most often become epic runaways? And which ones tend to consistently get crushed? I don't have Korea yet, but mine: Runaways...

The Story of the crew of United Humanity Long Distance Exploration Odyssey 2169 UHLDE-Odyssey 2169 Welcome. This is a play-by-post game of the pen and paper roleplaying game GURPS (4th edition). The introductory story is just below but first, one important rule… Anyone is welcome to...

I'm not too sure I like this (again). EDIT: removed RPS link since it really didn't give more details at all after all hehe
