Which Civ4 mod works better as a "vanilla plus" of sorts? Something that just fixes bugs, improves balances, maybe tweak a thing or two by a little bit - not a large overhaul.

The city sites that have no Barbarians or Tribes on them but already have many connected "Urban" Tiles - what do they actually represent? Abandoned settlements? Simply suitable locations and the urban tiles in the map are not really urban areas until someone actually settles there? Peaceful...

I'm feeling like the investment in training an early worker isn't really paying off, as the worker spends a dozen turns building something that usually won't last even half of that before getting pillaged. I try to leave enough military units around to stop barbarians from spawning too close or...

After years of playing Civ V (and many years without playing Civ IV), I decided that I wanted some change for a while. I first tried a few mods for Civ V, but I wanted a bigger change. I played through my library of X4 games, but most of them don't last as long as Civ (mainly due to a lack of...

Being in South America, I only started playing BNW yesterday, so I'm still early in my first game with it. Now, one thing that is bothering me a little bit, is the question of how useful Tourism is if you aren't specifically chasing a culture victory. At first, Tourism looked like a...

This is a very simple mod: It increases the beaker cost of every technology in the game by 30%, in all game speeds. For those that feel that research is a bit too quick compared to everything else. I was even hesitant a bit before creating and uploading it: it seemed extremely likely or even...

Small Fractal Map. Default number of civs and CSs. Never got something like this before. Sure, I've got some big islands, but this is a whole continent with half of the map CSs and no other civs. Can't wait to make use of all those cool melee ships.

I just liberated Askia (taking their ex-capital, even as a puppet, would be too much of a Happiness hit for me, and I'm in the middle of a huge war so I can't afford the risk of receiving the unhappiness modifier to my military units). His diplomacy screen now shows his mood as "Recalled to...

Today I noticed that a city built next to the Grand Mesa could build an Observatory, even though there was no Mountain nearby. I liked that. Does other Natural Wonders also classify as a Mountain for building requirements? Any of them, or just the ones that are actually mountain-like? And...

In my current Rome game, I was aiming for an early conquest spree, making use of my early UUs. The problem is, I'm iron-starved. I found only a single deposit of 2 Iron, and managed to get 2 more Iron by trading. There are more deposits of Iron in sight, but they are quite far. Trading for...

Back in Civ4, I never played a non-random map (except once for a fan-made Entire Earth map). In Civ5, I initially had the same approach, but the more tactical style of combat made me rethink it. "For this style of combat", I thought, "hand-made map with interesting choke-points and such would...

I have two cities in my current save (no mods are in use) that simply do not work their own tile. It appears highlight as if it was being worked, but they aren't being calculated. Both of them were puppets, and I noticed that something was wrong when I saw that they had 0 production and...

Since we have finished the UA Elimination thread, I believe we can start a new one. This one is likely to end up a bit different than most Elimination threads, since it isn't really something that you can quantify in any way, it's a matter of preferences. So, let's see what the most loved and...

I haven't played the Explorer's Map Pack maps yet, and I have a few questions about them. What exactly is the Sandstorm and the Continents+ maps? Is Continents+ kinda of a mix between Continents and Small Continents? How should one go about playing the Amazon map script? Also, are the...

I noticed something today: I had a Rifleman adjacent to an enemy city, and a Cavalry a few tiles away, in a straight line from the Rifleman. My Rifleman attacked the city. I ordered my Cavalry to also attack the city, clicking directly on it. The Cavalry walked forward in a straight...

I have a question that I can't find the answer anywhere: how do I make a train stop in a certain city without dropping all cargo in it? There's some cargo that I want to drop in the next city. Thanks in advance.
