    Polarizing Polynesia

    What puts me off is the UI, I don't understand it or how to use it optimally. First of all, I get an inconsistant amount of culture from them. The 'pedia says you get +1 culture, but I usually get 2 or 3 and I don't know how to tell which I'll get before I build it. Second of all, I'm not...

    This Pacal guy freaks me out :)

    I like Pacal's gangsta lean. Overall I think he's a step up from the petulant child that represented Pacal in civ IV.

    Any word on new DLC?

    haha, I did that too. I saw the word "Polish" in bold and thought "They're putting Poland in the game?" Then I actually read it. Anyway. These threads aren't really necessary. I understand being impatient for news, especially with long dry spells, but if there is news it'll be right on...

    Patch Thoughts?

    I liked most of it. I shouted "good!" at my computer more times than I should admit (so, at least once >.>). Only letdown is that I didn't see a fix for the Ethiopian UU that I read about which makes them as weak as warriors when they're away from the capitol. That's the one civ I haven't...

    Best Civs for Teching and Military?

    Last I heard there's a bug with Korea's UU that makes them more powerful than they have any right to be. So you can look at it one of two ways. 1-- Play as China first while waiting for Korea to get fixed, or 2-- play as Korea first so you get to use the super powerful UU before they can...

    SINGLE Most Frustrating Thing in Civ5?

    Sorry OP, can't choose a single one. The fake "next turn." The unit hopping. When the game wants me to do something with a unit and I want to deal with it last, I'll click next unit. Then once I'm done with that one it goes back to the first guy I didn't want to deal with so I click next...

    Things you only just now realized

    I just discovered a sort of hidden benefit to the Dutch. First of all, the polders are already just so, so awesome. I am in love with them. Like, erotically. And as I was conquering another civ over the past 2 days, I did something I almost never would do otherwise. Pillage. Typically I'd...

    Things you only just now realized

    Well, today I discovered that if one city state conquers another, and you then buy the conquering CS with Austria, you get both city states. Two for the price of one. Not sure if it works that way if you take the CS by conquering it, but you'd think it would, given that it works that way in...

    Civilization V Funny screenshots

    Here's what we've been training for all these years, men. Time for operation: stand here nonchalantly. Don't worry, there isn't an Iroquois word for "excuse me."

    How often do you win at the difficulty level(s) you choose to play at?

    I said "almost always." I'd like for it to be "Significantly more often than not," but there's no difficulty setting for me that manages to be a middle ground between "almost always" and "almost never."

    Things you only just now realized

    I've got one. Maybe it's stupid that it didn't occur to me sooner, but in the game I'm playing now I got the idea to, rather than DoW someone, go to another civ, offer to DoW on that civ I want to hurt, and ask "what will you give me for this?" I can get some gold for it and-- I'm just...

    Dido and Theodora- they ever succeed?

    Weird, the last game I played with Babylon in it he pulled a Washington. Makes war with me, his meager army attacks me and is crushed, and he promptly offers me all of his gold, gpt, and luxuries for peace (the gold was pretty hefty). I accept and he goes back to friendly. Then later he does...

    Things I never do (but probably should?)

    -I don't build enough workers. I build them at first, but as I acquire more cities I use the ones I built for my core cities now that they've done the most important stuff over there, and I don't realize I need more workers until I really need more workers. -I get bored of war. I'll start by...

    Can we do the following?

    Tooltips for the unique units and buildings on the Set Up Game menu. I'd like to see what those are alongside the unique ability when deciding which leader to play. Amen to that, that bugs me too. The last game I played I didn't even know how the UU was an improvement over the old unit. Was...

    Civ choice for one-city challenge on higher difficulties?

    I played my first game with the Dutch a few days ago. Started on a desert river. 6 polders in my capitol alone. It was beautiful. I production-focused it and it still grew fast. Then I hit economics and it was like getting a free hydro plant in my capitol, and I had more money than God. I...

    Can't find the right difficulty/Strategy problems

    What kind of map is that? It looks pretty cool.

    Of the music added in G&K, which do you really enjoy?

    Am I doing something wrong? I play with different civs every time and I swear the music is always the same. I played with the Mayans for the very first time and still recognized the music.

    Steam Summer Sale, G&K (only) 10% off, rest of Civ5 50% off.

    G&K is back down to 10%, so I guess it was part of the flash deal after all, or only slightly longer. So either I'll be glad I picked it up when I did, or slightly annoyed when it's suddenly 33% off in the daily deals within a few days.

    Steam Summer Sale, G&K (only) 10% off, rest of Civ5 50% off.

    You're right, there's no timer. But it's still more discounted than before. So I guess they quietly discounted it more for the duration of the sale? Whatever the case, it's 25% now, and I have no idea if it's a one day thing or for the rest of the sale or if they just forgot to put a timer on...
