    It's 1 AD and everyone has denounced everyone

    Nobody's gonna get me! - in spite of only having a single longswordsman at 1820 AD I guess this mirrors the real world. Link #2 My military adviser tells me that not only can the Iroquois, the French, and the Romans wield armies that can wipe us off the planet but confesses his complete...

    Default Thread Age Cut Off

    In CivV we just had a major game changing update on December 22nd. Many of the posts prior to that date are out of date. I'd like to set a default cut off for that date but the current settings do not contemplate such a Steam powered event of this kind. Would it be possible to change the...

    Five Easy Pieces

    Very helpful, thanks. In your table I don't understand the distinction between the 'Train', 'Construct', 'Create', and their associated lines 'WorldTrain', 'WorldConstruct', and 'WorldCreate'.

    Five Easy Pieces

    I'm playing at prince level and I want to get better. Can you suggest five games each focusing on the practice of a core game skill that would get me to the next level?

    Rome - Augustus: 1.0.1.135 Practice

    Introduction I like to play the hand I am dealt. I think it's more fun but it means accepting lower scores, missing out on bragging rights, and miserable failures from time to time. Of course, when you do win, it is something really special. This is my second game under version 1.0.1.135 and I...

    Observations on a post-patch game (king)

    Is it reciprocated? Can the player ask for free stuff from the AI without upsetting them? Do they realize it's Christmas?

    Shift Enter Fail

    Thanks. That is a useful tutorial. When I searched for 'Mod' in the manual, it's all there on p194. It was the search for 'Mod Hub' that produced zilch for me.

    Shift Enter Fail

    Thank you for responding. Since I have never seen this 'mod hub' in the game, I enabled Steam and looked all over the in-game Steam area (Shift-Tab). I couldn't see it there either. I did try searching for 'mod hub' but it returned 131 posts and none I looked at explained how to get there...

    Shift Enter Fail

    I'm looking for an alternative way to force end turns. Shift Enter does not work for me - it's as if I've pressed nothing. I've noticed that Alt-Enter also fails inside Excel if CivV is active. This would normally insert a line break inside a cell. If I close CivV then Alt-Enter becomes...

    Researching Efficiently in Civ 5

    Thank you for sharing the fruits of your study. It is not micromanagement to focus on the factors vital to a particular strategy. If this is the best way to get a technology victory your method is not micromanagement. If it is not necessary for an Ancient Era domination victory it would be...

    News: Game of the month for Civ V - feedback appreciated

    Please make GOTM (Game of the Month) and TSGs (Training Series Games) easier on new visitors. When you've been around something for a while it's easy to start using acronyms (e.g. GOTM and TSG) that are difficult for new users to understand. It labels the user as an expert and dare I say there...

    Note Taking

    Choice is good. People should be allowed to choose between dead tree products and breathing the product of live trees.

    Words can't say how much I hate Civ V music. Some videos can

    I imagine that English is not the first language of many on this forum and they are not aware that the past tense of 'break' is the irregular 'broke' not 'breaked' which would be the regular form. I'm happy they share their ideas and hope they will continue so to do.

    Words can't say how much I hate Civ V music. Some videos can

    I loved nursery rhymes before I was five. I still like melodies although I'm more likely to enjoy them in the form of Vaughn-Williams's Greensleeves. In my teens I liked blues particularly if it was played by the Rolling Stones. I'm enjoying the Stones hour right now on broad band internet...

    Note Taking

    I use Microsoft One Note which is part of Office 2010. I would not be able to justify the cost if I only used it for CivV but it they've turned it into a general purpose notebook that has become my second most used application (#1 Outlook; #3 CivV:mischief:) You can take screenshots; add links...
