Getting rid of any late game tedium needs to be achieved by increasing meaningful player interactions later in the game. Right now, the main issue for me is that, after some point, you don't really need to do anything meaningful to win. Culture victory is a question of waiting for your tourists...

OK - my 2 cents: using the same engine that Civ currently has: - limited combination of troops (say 3-6 units), i.e. merging any combination of units into an army, and combat is by moving this corps or amy into another hex containing the opposing army. Combining units actually gives either...

The main issue with 1UPT right now for Civ, IMHO, isn't the concept of 1UPT itself, but how it's implemented. One can very much agree than 1 unit represents an entire army, representative of its age, that's cool, but taking that and applying tactical combat dynamics on a strategic map just...

No it's a bug. The game has some issues when environment A changes due to external factors outside the normal course of events and environment B, which was linked to A, isn't adapted accordingly. Case in point, had sent a spy to a Russian city, ordered him to spend 8 turns to acquire sources. In...

Yes, very much so. No, no. That's not where I was going at all. I know that if I play to the AI's agendas I will have proper good relations with them (and I do get alliances and declarations of friendship on occasion). If the AI hates me it's because my style of play makes them hate me. What I...

Warmonger penalties just don't factor in my game-play. I've had friendly AIs surprise DOW on me, I just figure that making an effort to keep good relationships with the the AIs isn't worth the opportunity cost of not expanding in their territory to get what I need. Also, if any AI declares war...

Mingzhu buddy, you're either the worst delegate of all time, or Pericles really needs to allocate his envoys better.

They don't, and I did manage to escape :), though my comment was more along the lines of "so many options for me to attack" given that the game gave me many such recommendations.

So many options...

Hello A very weird occurrence. Created a new game, selected Australia, and selected Standard size. All other options as is. While playing the game, the map looked surprisingly... empty. And as the game progressed I realized that the actual map generated was Small, (or smaller) and the options...

Some of these may also have been in V, and many have been said already, but here goes: a. Hexes b. Military, Economic and Diplomatic Policies that fine-tune your government type depending on your needs at that time in the game c. Districts d. Number of wonders that one city can have being...

Agreed. And I'd also like to have the new concept where resources appear on the map before you've researched the tech expanded on. For example, you see that there is bronze, you start mining it, and then you get the eureka for bronze working. Would make tech research feel more organic i.e. you...

Given that they got the date of the Scotland referendum wrong - which is something a simple google search would've confirmed - let's just say I don't put too much stock on their predictions. That "article" is three parts lunacy, ten parts stupidity, and seven parts blind monkeys photoshopping a...

According to the link below, Civ 5 has sold well below 1 million, or 855.651 to be precise since its launch (excluding Japanese sales). The number is quite impressive nonetheless though. (can't vouch for the accuracy of the numbers, but they seem to know their stuff)...

I reload whenever I feel it will make my gaming experience more enjoyable. And I definitely do not feel any shade of remorse or shame when I do so. This also applies to any and every game.

Low. I start a game every once and so often, but that is more an effort to get some mileage out of the money I spent on the game rather than scratching an actual itch to play the game. Have been playing Civ since the very first one came out.

The glorious 70s.

Hell no. That's the single most god-awful stupid diplomatic "factor" in the history of video-games. The fact that I'm trying to win should not affect diplomacy. Otherwise, why bother having diplomacy at all in a game with the AI? I'm always trying to win, so by extension the AI should always...

Even if you call it stability (or whatever else you want) it still does not make sense that - continuing with the stability version of happiness - building a jail in city X would make faraway cities more stable. The glocal approach of happiness in Civ 5 seems so contrived that it gives the...

I find Civ 5 not worth playing because of the lack of things to do in the game given my builder playing preference. This patch addresses and tweaks existing game mechanics, but does not add any. So even if this is the best bestest most perfect patch in the history of patches, it will not make...
