Greetings all - I have noticed something strange happening in my games and I'm not entirely sure how it is happening. Basically, I'm curious as to whether or not any of you have seen it in your games or if any of you know what the heck is going on. Also, if this has been discussed elsewhere...

WHAT HO! Greetings, sir or madam! About two years ago I did a Civ V leader personality write-up that proved to be rather popular here on the forums. I also did one for the DLC leaders shortly after they came out (although, I never did one for Harold Bluetooth of Denmark). You can find the...

Wholly poop, it's been a long time since I posted on these forums. Too long, in fact. Almost two years since I really engaged the community here! Shame on me. So, back in 2011 I did this little write-up on the personalities of the different Civilization 5 leaders. It was well-received by...

Hello everyone! I've been playing Civilization since Civ III; but, I've never played multiplayer online. I played plenty of hotseat games in Civ IV when I was in high school. Now, though, all my friends are in different places and don't play Civ V. I would like to start playing some Civ V online...

I was just wondering what everyone thought of the Honor Social Policy post-patch? Myself: I love it. It seems like it benefits a lot play styles and that the Aztec and Songhai civilizations benefit from it in particular... and probably the buffed Germans, don't know about them yet. Anyway...

Well hello there everyone! Since my initial thread about the personalities of the CIV V leaders I decided to do another write-up on the DLC CIVS. Now, first of all, I have to apologize to all of you who have been waiting FOREVER for this write-up. I know that by now many of you have contemplated...

I've played 156 hours worth of Civilization 5 now. I have played witness to some pretty incredible AI stunts by all the leaders. But, in playing my 156 hours of Civ V I feel like I've gotten to know each leader and their personality... like I've looked into the ice cold eyes of Catherine The...

I was pretty pumped when a 49 turn Golden Age happened! I am trying to upload a screenshot of it but then it says that the file isn't compatible... hmm...

So, now that I've played every Civilization through at least once I think it is time to start speculating on the worst civilization in Civilization 5. The word "worst" can mean whatever you want it to mean; but in this instance please try and take these things into account: the most imbalanced...

How do you do it? I haven't noticed an option to do so pop up...

So, I've been enjoying playing Civ V lately and decided to write a (crappy) poem about it. I hope you enjoy. :) Civilization V The gears of war do turn, In a world naught for peace. Buildings ruined, civilizations burned, These atrocies do not cease. Conquer forth and ride unto...

... I played my last game of Civ IV today. It was bitter-sweet. I am sure that I will go back to Civ IV; in fact, I know that I will. But, I also know that today was the last time that I will play it for a very long time. It also marks the first time in three years that Civ IV hasn't been on my...

So, one of the things many of those involved with making the game have talked about or mentioned in passing during an interview is the fact that gold now takes on a whole new dynamic within the game. There are many more things to spend gold on in Civ V and you also spend more gold on upkeeping...

I personally think Siam seems perfectly suited to take full advantage of the City-States. Their SA - Father Governs Children - is totally geared towards those players who will, more often than not, seek to make allies out of the City States. If you combine that with the Patronage Social Policy...

The French are shaping up to be pretty scary if you ask me. Their Special Ability gives them a +2 :culture: in every city up to the discovery of Steam Power; so, that can help their borders pop for sure if you couple that with some of the other buildings that produce culture. That and their...

So, the other day I was playing a game as Isabella and was shooting for a Space Race Victory because Alexander decided to go ape-:):):):) crazy and vassal everyone on the map but Gilgamesh and I (that's six civs' the guy vassaled - SIX!). So... I build all my spaceship parts and the craft is...

You'll have to forgive me for borrowing a movie title to name this thread... but, at least it was a good movie. :goodjob: Now, I just wanted to start a thread for everyone to share their experiences with some leaders who have displayed some particularly cunning tendencies... leaders who could...

I was just wondering if I am the only one here that finds Darius completely useless. I have tried to play as him twice and each time I found it so very difficult to expand - also, it is so hard to culture the man up. What do you all think about him?

I recently played a game of CIV IV BTS and had problems, actually more or less annoyances in three leaders, those being Genghis Khan, Saladin, and Alexander. So, I decided to make up Nicknames for them. My friend was in the room and and when he heard me scream these names along with some...

I am just wondering if anybody else has so many problems with Washington being such a sneaky little bastard. Recently, in the game I just finished he got me into a war with him, which I was glad to help with, only to convert religions to the person that he was at war with and then declare peace...
