I bought Civ V when it was first released and not too long afterwards stopped playing. I am now coming back to it after months of ignoring it because I had hoped some patches may have improved it. My question is this, since I re-downloaded it from steam ( having un-installed it before) are...

Just curious, if I disable all victory types except one will the AI's recognize this and shoot for it? For example if I make it so the only way to win is a culture victory, will the AI's strategy be effected by it or will they play normally?

Does anyone build walls? I have yet to find a situation when building a wall seemed like a good idea. Even if I need some city defense I would rather build a unit than a wall. Has anyone found a reason to build one?

I hate micro managing my workers. I will to a large extent but when my empire gets massive and I'm only building stuff in my third ring I really don't care anymore if they build a TP or a farm, unless I'm going for something specific. The thing is I hate automating my workers in civ 5. Primarily...

I'm running Civ 5 on my boot camped mac using windows xp, same way I played civ 4, but it won't run it. It wouldn't run the demo either. It seems fine during install but when I try to play it goes black for a second and then straight back to the previous screen. Steam even says I've played it...

It's possible I'm crazy, waiting for this is driving me nuts, but didn't I see something about 2k Greg doing another live stream today, 9/20? Was looking for a link and can't even find where I got the info. SO did I just imagine this announcement or can someone give me a link.

I was watching a preview on IGN and they mentioned trying to get a conquest victory by taking all the other nations capitals. Is this all that is required for conquest now? and if so does it mean that taking an enemy capital = taking the entire civ? no more capital transfers when you take their...

Anyone know for sure who they are gonna play their first game as? I'm not really sure though I think I may actually go with monty, which I never played with in Civ 4. It's kinda weird but with his special ability he's a culture victory guy. I just want to explore the new culture boosts, that's...

Do we have a thread listing for particular leader specs? like after the live stream we know the special abilities of Japan and Germany, but do we know any other leaders special traits? and where can I get this list?

Just curios. I know commerce equals beakers so if I build a bank does that boost commerce which then boosts my beakers? How does that work?

When you have a bunch of tiles inside your empire that no city is working do you bother settling just to work those tiles? I hear a lot about over settling and I was just wondering if this counts. I often have areas between cities that are decent though not amazing, ie no resources to work...

I really love starting a new game of Civ I think it's really exciting and challenging but usually towards the end I get a bit bored and just want to finish and claim my inevitable victory. is this just me? and if there are other people bored by the finish what do you do with it? I've heard if...

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere but I can't seem to find it so... How do you decide what victory to go for? This seems to be my biggest trouble. I can get a decent tech pace deal with my neighbors, usually avoid major wars but in the end I feel like usually I decide at some point...
