Get it while it's hot... Right here!

Anyone ever see this before? Haven't had this happen yet, a captured city state in which a World Wonder has been produced, in this case The Colossus. I planned on liberating it but I'm sure not going to give up a Wonder, and I am unsure what will actually happen - does the Wonder bonus get...

Whipping the Mongols on a huge continent, they had some 60 cities but I've taken 20 plus and he recently stopped offering me a huge pile of money and resources, now he seems to offer something bordering on abdication because he offers me his entire empire, all 30+ remaining cities, etc, and all...

Greetings all - Having beat Epic Immortal as an OCC, I decided to try a Marathon Deity OCC game. Large map. I can already see this is a disaster in the making. Besides Persia entering the MODERN ERA before AD, and the Manhattan Project going off a few dozen turns later, I notice the AI's...

In my current OCC I have a CS, Vienna, that happened to be near me and between us, a thin spread of Mongolian expansion cities that were the secondary part of their empire. Well, as it turns out, Mongolia and Vienna went at it, and Vienna took one of their cities and went to work on the others...

For your consideration - I have thought about this for a long time but my recent games playing OCC on large maps really has brought this into focus. A city that is not right on the coast, but DOES control at least one coastal tile (control, not work, within what would be considered it's...

Any way to turn off the guy reading the same tired boilerplate about how I great Ramesses and Egypt brought civilization, etc... I enjoyed it approximately one time. Now when I start a game, I get to hear it AGAIN. And AGAIN. And you can't shut him up. At least I don't think you can. Anyone help...

This was stupid in Civ4, and it's just as stupid now. Playing an OCC, at war with Japan, and have an allied city state. Ignoring the ******ation of the AI bombarment routine, which seems to be to bombard for least effect, my allied city state falls, but I am right on the tail of it and manage...

I figured the Egyptians looked to be a solid Civ to try a Deity OCC with, the wonder boost is almost required. I hated to do it, since I play Rome exclusively in Civ, but Rome is UTTERLY USELESS in an OCC. Hint hint - let's mix up those Civ bonuses a bit maybe eh? I'd love to have the legions...

Having completed my first game of Civ5, the following thoughts come to mind. Hextiles - EPIC WIN. I don't see how this is even debatable. This has been discussed as far back as Civ2, the need for the hex. It has arrived. It is overdue. It is welcome. And it is wonderful. Expanded City...

I haven't found it yet, might be boneheadedly missing it, but it doesn't ask where to install it and I do not know where to change it, I have no interest installing this on my C: drive, I have Civs 2-4 on my E: drive along with all of my games. Anyone be of assistance?

I just got done uninstalling Civ and BTS completely, then reinstalling, only to find... BlueMarble splash wallpaper, and bits and pieces of UI mods in a new game. No, it's not uninstalled, it's all over the user profile - there's a Warlords folder here, a BTS folder there, a Civ4 folder here...

So why? Why? WHY? Does the AI throw stack after stack of unit against a non-bombarded unit when it has 0% chance? Charlemagne sends 10 transports that manage to race ahead of his escorts, which are a turn or so behind and can at least bombard my city (playing a OCC game) to give them a fighting...

Greetings... I searched but did not see - has anyone created a mod that allows you to build a non-great General? A General unit that is expensive to build and allows you lead and to give say 10XP to a unit, free upgrades (or not), and access to the General-promotions, but without the ability...

So I am owning hard on this Huge map, 12 AI opponents. I am no razing turned on, so as I conquer, I consolidate. It's around 1800, but because I am such a tech monster in this game I'm building airports like crazy. And every...damn...turn... CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! Even Aeroflot didn't...

So, I am playing Rome, one a tectonic map, stuck on the big continent but with such a totally sweet start, I am miles ahead and have every wonder in Rome save for Pyramids (suck!) and Mausallos (enh, wish I'd had that one). I have vassalized the Holy Romans (damn straight) and Portugal is just...

Greetings... Right as the patch got released, I got nailed with work and am finally getting to a point where I might have a weekend to start a new game. I figured I'd check in to see what is going on post patch. From the reading, it looks like there are alot of new bugs and issues, and...

We know you've been waiting a while for this, we wanted to have this out to you in 1996, but here's the change list to tide you over just a little longer. * Battleship double strength against Spearman * Zulu 50% greater chance to land on your land mass with tanks while you still have...

Hello - I don't have a screenshot, but at some point in my game, several of my units "lost" experience points. They didn't lose the promotions, nor did the loss of XP lower the threshold for the next promotion. For instance, I had a Praetorian unit that had Combat 1-3 plus Woodsman 1-3...

Greets... Idiot Koreans decide to tangle with the big dog. Anyways, the attack my vassal Mongolia with paratroopers. Like, I dunno, 50. I get message after message mid-turn about a Korean paratrooper being shot down. Constantly. And when it's my turn, I get the unit in the attached...
