    Civilization V 24 h sale on Steam: 75% off - offer expired

    I didn't have a steam account but saw this incredible sale so I added the gold edition for $12.xx but the site required me to register to purchase. After I registered the sale price disappeared! From what I can tell the sale is still going on but now I'm unable to buy the game at the sale price...

    Baba Yetu must live on.

    Agreed. I changed my opening screen to the classic Civ IV just so I can hear Baba Yetu when I start the game.

    Tricky Vicky?

    So, last night I was in a game where I was bordering WvO and Victoria of England. Paqcal was found on the other side of the world in his own isolated, backwards island which became the target of Victoria. Through the notificiations I saw Vicky overtaking a couple of his cities when she rang me...

    When Do You Know It Is Time To Move Up?

    So I am beginning to win on Noble some what regularly but I notice that only usually happens when I have a decent opening area as my capital and for expansion. Most of my victories come very late into the game usually in the late 1900s/last 100 turns via culture, space, or domination. I am not...

    Joao - That face makes me want to smash my fist in it regardless of what the status of our diplomacy is. Qin Huang (?) - That "you give me" hand gesture makes me want to smack the taste of out his mouth Kublai Khan - For looking so deceptively huggable yet he DoW on me every time I let my...

    Best Tile Improvement for "Plain"

    I made this city to block my neighboring civ to the north from bordering directly on my capitol. It was either this or the desert so the choice was fairly easy to make. Maybe I just need to do a better job planning out my cities in general. being sandwiched between Ragnar (backstabbing a**hat...

    Best Tile Improvement for "Plain"

    Thanks everyone for the tips! What if the land surrounding me is littered by just plains? Restart? Ha ha. I'm not playing at a level where I can win on noble easily except via culture and that method is growing tiresome. Can anyone suggest any tutorial vids where the player starts on some...

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered already but I could not find an answer but what is the best improvement to put on the plain tile (1f, 1h, 1g) especially if they are next to a river? I find they are only useful when they are cottaged and that is only when I have other tiles in the...

    Starting Location and Resources Available

    What about expanding before civil service? The last game I was in I was stuck on the coast with about 15 tiles of jungle between my closest neighbor Pacqal (?) who was sitting on the river with a lot of good resources available in his fat cross. His capital provided a decent culture block on my...

    Starting Location and Resources Available

    Is there something in the code that makes the player (me) start in less than desireable locations? It feels like 95% of my games start me on the coast with the next area for preferred expansion being a massive desert followed by lush grasslands and jungles filled with resources occupied by the...

    Do You Chase LIberalism in Every Game?

    Thanks for the help. I went down currency immediately after taking nationalism and it helped my economy/research immensely. I've been running on 80% research rate ever since and I'm blowing everyone out of the water in the tech race with my closest ally being Khmer who is friendly and right next...

    Do You Chase LIberalism in Every Game?

    Finally came out from behind the bushes and registered. Great site for a newbie such as myself! Playing as Korea, I find that beelining to liberalism makes a lot of sense for me as the UU and UB are both unlocked on my way to liberalism. With the free tech I choose nationalism on my way to...
