So toroidial is basically donut shaped, but the inner circumference is the same as the outer circumference?

I was playing last night and decided to try a Toroidial map, since I have no idea what that is, and I just could not get the game to say "Hey look, you circumnavigated the globe!" Instead Gandhi got credit for it some 20 turns later. Is there a trick to this on a Toroidial map? Also what...

What effect does changing the difficulty level have in a, multiplayer game? What can you expect if one player is on settler and the other on deity?

I haven't seen this mentioned, but for me the big thing was the soundtrack. In Civ 4 it changed to reflect your era (also the look of your city and sometimes tiles wpuld change as well). This gave me a feeling of progression for my civilization. Civ 5 lacked this completely and I really...

Perhaps the solution is to give a player that does this a large number of negative points in the eyes of the other AI, just as it would with other players. You scam an AI, and now the rest are quite unwilling to trade with you.

I miss having an era-specific soundtrack, which is sad since the really put a lot of effort in to the music in Civ 5

Wait, I thought that since they were all on a team, they share techs?

Just because we can determine what is right and what is wrong does not imply that we do. By that same logic, we are all capable of following the law of whatever nation you belong, so therefor we do not need police. People's judgement can become clouded with selfishness, pride, and other stuff.

But by your own logic, I can't even control if I believe in free will or not, so how can you blame me? Then again, you don't have the free will whether to blame me or not.

Most Christians who reject "evolution" don't reject the idea of evolution in and of itself, they reject evolution as an explanation of how everything came to be. It's not like we haven't seen species evolve into similar species. We see species adapt all the time. Most Christians do not reject...

Because as I linked before, evolution can actually happen much faster than most people realize.

Actually, if you read the story more in depth, it wasn't just that everyone but Noah's family were naughty, it was that fallen angels (who rebelled against God with Satan and were kicked out of Heaven) had started breeding with women of the earth, and had tainted the human race by crossbreeding...

As a side note, the Bible says that God told Noah to collect 2 or 7 of every *kind* of animal, which would mean 1 species of cat would probably cover every lion, cheetah, leopard, etc. Using these numbers, there would actually be plenty of room in Noah's ark. Also, food might not have been an...

If you assume that 1 species of fish diverges in to 2 species, you only need 15 iterations (2^15). This means that a species would have 400 years to diverge in to 2. And as we have seen, Evolution can happen very, very quickly. I disagree... many supposed contradictions are...

Slow work day for me today, so I am enjoying this thread as it develops. Are you actively playing today or are these all write ups from a previous session?

I assume that checking "random personalities" completely randomizes every number in the table?

Question regarding the negative impact of killing a Civ... last night I played a continents map where it was me and one other civ on the continent, and I wiped him out pretty early. If you kill a civ before either of you meet any other civ, do the other civs still know you've killed someone off?

Hello! I have this idea for a tutorial that I would love to see made. Essentially I would love to see a step by step guide giving tips on how to progress to the next difficulty. I would make this myself, but I struggle on Prince :p Essentially, you would have tips for every difficulty...

Oh, ok, thanks! I am still new to really paying attention to tiles and what does what for them... which is probably why I still lose almost every time on prince :p

Sorry if this is a dumb comment, but in the first map, isn't one wheat beside a lake/oasis? Wouldn't that give it the same boost as being beside a river?
