Ran into an oddity and thought I'd bounce it off of those with a lot more experience with Civ 5. For some strange reason, units stopped picking up experience from trashing Barbarians (game was set to Raging Barbarians). I'd pick up the culture points very consistently, but the XPs were a no-show...

On a freshly booted machine, the game launches just fine. After spending some time here on the forums or elsewhere (I use Firefox 3 almost exclusively), the game will launch, but hang on a black screen with the rotating globe icon. Solution: open Task Manager, kill the app and relaunch the...

I had started a thread with a question over Ragnar's seemingly illogical DoW on me, to which I received many good replies. I finished out the game last night (29 hours - sheesh!). It was not my greatest victory by any long stretch, mainly because I decided to start experimenting once I saw that...

I'm in the midst of finishing up a game on the second run-through. I got stuck on a decent-sized continent with Ragnar and the other six civs sharing two bigger ones. The first time through I thought I was doing decently enough until he DoW'd and totally spanked me. Since I had slacked off on my...

I've reported this issue before, but am still hoping that someone can point me to a fix. The biggest problem is the "Sid's Tips" do not consistently work throughout most of the game. In the Diplomacy screen, for example, I can tell that one civ is annoyed with another, but can't tell why. If I...

I ran into a situation with a captured city that puzzled the heck out of me and I'm hoping someone who is more familiar with the game code could explain it. After the city came out of resistance I got a message that the citizens were "rightfully" asking to join the Korean empire (I said no, of...

I have the Direct2Drive version of the game and just patched to 3.17 using the patch provided by D2D. One of the first things that I noticed was that the turns to completion info disappeared from the map (screenshot attached). It shows properly on the turn that you first load the building or...

I saw the bug report on the tech/age issue, but ran into a different one. One of the quest parameters is that I cannot change my state religion. However, I convinced one of the neighboring civs to convert to mine and got the quest failed message. I don't remember whether this happened on the...

Would someone correct me if my understanding is wrong, but I was somehow under the impression that a Golden Age allowed you to switch civics without anarchy. If this is the case, I may have hit a "feature" that had me tearing my hair out this evening. A bit of story-telling for the set up: I...

I purchased the digital download version of CIV/Warlords/BtS and have had zero problems with installation or gameplay, but have come across some very annoying issues: 1. After completing research on a tech and when being asked to choose a new one, sometimes the game will display the pop-out...
