This is my first Civ 5 mod. It's a trivial one: it only extends the default city maximum cultural radius from 5 to 8, by changing the default value of MAXIMUM_ACQUIRE_PLOT_DISTANCE global define. With this change, your city can now acquire (by culture expansion) tiles at 8 tiles of distance from...

When playing BNW, sometimes I begin to think about some easy visual enhancements to make gameplay easier and more intuitive. Easy changes that I've thought about are: When airlifting, show the places where I can airlift to with blinking dots in the minimap. When a CS requests a route, show it...

As you can see in the attached image, after I've bought a city state with a gifted Merchant of Venice (I've filled the full Patronage tree), the following negative diplomatic modifier appears in my relationship with England: "You have killed City-States under their protection!". I think this is...

As you can see in the attached images, Gajah Mada doesn't try to stop me from winning a diplomatic victory, even though he is swimming in gold (92712 :c5gold:, 838 per turn). I'm currently allied with all the 16 city states, but he does nothing and lets me to win. I've also attached the savegame.

There's one issue of Civ 5 that I consider it hurts the mid game gameplay: the requirement of needing to build the prerequisite building in all of your cities to build a National Wonder. In previous versions of Civ I enjoyed so much to explore uncharted lands (once researched the appropiate...

In my latest game, I've conquered a non capital city (Ollantaytambo) founded by a destroyed civilization. As you can see in the attached image, "View City" option doesn't appear after I've captured it. It seems this kind of windows, with several options to choose through buttons, can only show 4...

On the past days, suddenly came to my mind an interesting new feature that could be added to Great Generals Citadels: allow Citadels to being built in lands not adjacent to your own lands. This would open new and interesting strategic desitions to be made. Also, it would introduce a very...

When I'm playing Civ, one thing I really find very annoying is doing unnecessary tasks that require time and add nothing to gameplay. I've made a list of some easy to implement changes that would lessen this problem: Enable attaching a civilian unit to a military one, so that I can select...

If you're interested and curious of how those great works of music actually sound, I've created this evening a public playlist in Spotify that shows almost all of them: http://open.spotify.com/user/1162065897/playlist/7m3hrwngwT7gvZH5YmPgda. I've used this thread as a reference to search them...

It seems Civ V SDK has not been updated (at least, not for me) to include the changes in patch 1.0.2.21. I've uninstalled it and downloaded again and the source code to compile the DLL remains unchanged. The DLL itself has been changed. I've made a test with a DLL I had compiled for 1.0.2.13...

Just imagine you want to deliver a message to a person whose communications are being intercepted so that he doesn't receive an unwanted message. I've been thinking about the following methods: By electronic means: changing the name of your Wifi network or your Bluetooth device if you live...

Have you ever heard of split brain patients?. Those are people with the corpus callosum in their brains damaged. The corpus callosum is the pathway that connects both brain hemispheres. When it is damaged, the patient develops two separates conciousnesses in each of their hemispheres. It's not...

It seems you can pay to improve strategic resources in a CS even if the CS doesn't know the technology to access that resource. IIRC, a CS learns a technology when 2 or more Civilizations know that tech. In the first picture, you can see I have 0 coal although I'm allied with Antwerp that has a...

As you can see in the following video: http://youtu.be/Y1riSHc1rGQ, the missionary freezes for several seconds when converting Onondaga. At the end you can see on the tooltip how the number of Christian followers is increased by 1. Same thing happens in G&K with workboats: they freeze about 2...

In the first image you can see I can disembark on 1 turn on the tile near Constantinople. In the second image you can see the path chosen (2 turns) to disembark on the tile near Nicaea. It seems to be a bug in the pathfinding algorithm. Maybe it's related to Elisabeth's UA. EDIT: removed the...

In the first image you can notice that there's an artillery in a darkened tile near Groningen but you can't see it on the map. If select another unit you can gain control over the artillery again only if you use the Military Overview. The same happens in the strategic view (second image)...

In the attached images you can see production is greater when using "Default Focus" instead of "Production Focus". This happens because Vienna's city governor doesn't take into account that I own the Statue of Liberty.

It seems Austria's "Diplomatic Marriage" may hang Civ 5. In my current game, I was able to use this ability until a certain point, but several turns later it hanged Civ 5. In this game there's only 1 civ left, and I'm filling the map with new cities to maximize the score. Maybe the hung is...

This is a bug inherited from vanilla Civ V and unpatched to present day (original thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=10479383#post10479383). Civilian units can't move through tiles occupied by foreign units so the pathfinding algorithm tries to find a suboptimal route to...

Now, when you rush buy a Courthouse, the Viceroy stays in the city until the next turn (see the attached image). I think he should leave the city immediately because it makes no sense having an owned city with production penalties. Don't you agree?
