The favor refund is a smart idea, and nice that emergencies are now proposed and voted on and not random! I'm not a fan of the aspect of guessing who will vote and then just seeing the random results. (feel the same about the current emergencies) There is a missed opportunity for more...

Design critiques aside, really bummed that people were so warm and excited about Australia and are now so hostile towards Canada. :(

"1UPT" is fine. Plenty of wargames have 1UPT and solid AI with much deeper mechanics. How? It's a development priority. Don't people get that 1UPT (and by association Jon Shafer) is a scapegoat to cover for the lack of AI programming resources? Firaxis could dedicate more resources to AI but...

I wouldn't call it fundamental, because there are many other games with 1UPT that have solid AI. Either Firaxis doesn't prioritize it, or they did try and failed. It is an AI problem not a 1UPT problem.

Once the crash on specific turn bug ruined a great game I was having, yes. I just can't play again with that looming over a game. God knows when a fix is coming...

Awesome, thanks!

Still down...any alternate links?

Had an interesting epiphany during this game in regards to the warmongering penalties. Was about to capture a really nice city from Portugal, in a war she declared on me and was now losing badly. I suddenly thought...what if I just demand the city for peace? She gave it to me. Got the city I...

I don't know why, but I dig the Polynesia idea. Playing the new culture game and trying to abuse Maori's sounds fun to me

Shoshone is the new most terrifying neighbor in the game

My list: Would like to see not rushing tech as a legitimate strategy. Right now no matter what your strategy, it's tech hard first, every other consideration later Ranged is a bit too strong, especially Composite Bowmen and Artillery Military buildings are never worth the bother, even when...

I've reached a point where I am ready for Canada. The series has benefited from expanding the criteria for inclusion, allowing for important countries and cultural groups that didn't have the massive impact on history the default civs did. I love the inclusion of Brazil, Polynesia...

Game: Civ5 GOTM 60 Date submitted: 2013-05-20 Your name: Pizzaspy Game status: Domination Victory Game date: 1828AD Turns played: 284 Base score: 2691 Final score: 4805 Didn't get lucky and have any AI take out another AI capital...had to do it all myself. Blitzed to take London...

Your name: Pizzaspy Game status: Diplomacy Victory Game date: 1832AD Turns played: 286 Base score: 1346 Final score: 2361 Time played: 4:34:00 Not interesting enough for a write up. Tradition with 4 cities, wiped out Sweden, took most of ethiopia's cities and pushed hard for science...

No. If it was zero sum, it would be a significant feature addition just for the sake of some fiddling on par with deciding which city uses a shared tile.

The shape of it looks like a great person tile. New landmark asset?

Boring end to the game. Just pressing end turn with every CS allied, every building built, at peace with my terrified neighbors. First half was fun though. Bring on BNW, I don't think I could stand to play another culture game. Went Patronage before Piety because of the UA and I think it was...

Hiawatha attacked me early, forcing me into a war focus which ended up making me a military superpower...He is wiped out and I am currently on the march into Greek lands and should own the entire east continent soon. Also, my religion is dominant, my economy is booming and city states are...

Don't forget archeology!

The main thing I am wondering is: Will ideology be split off from social policies as a separate system? If so, will there be new social policy trees added? I kind of hope so, as you should be able to specialize into and develop an ideology regardless of how much culture factors into your...
