Haven't touched the game since launch. What is the current state of the game including AI?

Sometimes they make exceptions to the rule. It was worth trying.

Well my refund request was rejected, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore. My specified reason for wanting a refund was that the AI was horrible, and it appears that isn't good enough :/

Well I am going against the poll, and asked for a refund. I would rather do it now and get my money back instead of trying it later in case I don't like the game and then failing to get a refund.

I already have 7 hours clocked in at steam but I hear they can make exceptions to the 2 hour rule sometimes. Everyone is saying the AI is so bad it basically ruins the game so I am wondering if I should refund it and buy it later once/if it's fixed. Should I?

Is there no way to compare civs for army strength or economic power? Like some kind of info screen?

Wait really? Can anyone confirm this? If this is true it's completely game breaking and makes no sense.

Rome has taken that spot by now. Was planning on going there but was too late :(

Damn almost 200 turns and some civs are now like 2 eras ahead of me. I am half way through the middle ages and I am still just using mostly warriors because I have literally no iron anywhere in my empire. I have zero strategic and luxury resources in my whole empire.

I picked the shuffle map setting and got what is possibly the worst start ever. I started alone on a large island and 90& of the landmass is tundra with no luxury resources. It's turn 100 and I only have 3 small cities with small population. Because of the sucky start I have barely any economy...

Game is 8 hours away and still no reviews for it? Why?

What is an elimination thread?

It sounds like a very cheap strategy. I think there should be a diplo penalty with other civs as well as the one you betrayed if you dow someone whom you are already trading with.

Uhm, doesn't this mess up your diplo relations with other civs for cheating? Because if it doesn't this sounds like an AI exploit.

lol. Do you know anything about Stalin? Even since early age the guy was a lier, a sociapath and a thug. He was nothing but a power hungry criminal from the start. The book "young Stalin" talks about this.

lol, wut? No they did not. Even the original Kim built himself palaces. In fact, even Mao called him out on it it was so insane.

I am playing on a large map and yet each city costs 3 unhappiness at the time of being founded.

I think this is a bit of a strawman towards the totalitarian idea. No the state can't always 100% enforce everything always, you could bash almost every other political or economical idea with this argument. I could just as easily say that because not every politician 100% represents the whole...

In modern days, many people casually use the world totalitarianism to describe all kinds of states and regimes that are considered dictatorships. The problem I have with this however is that I feel the world totalitarianism has been given the fascism treatment, in that it's just become a bad...

I was reading about the AI traits for Washington: http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Washington_%28Civ5%29 And see that there is a trait called boldness. I know what the actual word means, but what does it mean in terms of gameplay/AI behaviour? Does it make the AI take riskier decisions or...
