    What do people who like civ, play on their android phones

    Any good civ ish games for android? The full game would probably be terrible on such a small screen with only a touch interface. But there must be interesting games that are lighter and have some of the concepts... DK

    Need to catch up

    when to annex

    Hey all, playing again after waiting for patches and such... What are the pro's and con's to annexing a city you have captured? I know you can't choose what it produces, can't buy stuff with it (including new tiles), can't control specialists and all that. (some of these could be Pro's in...

    how to see who wants what resource

    Is there a way to see who is interested in what resource I have without having to go to each leader, click trade and hit my resource Plus sign? I have VEM installed if that has a way... DK

    What's your first build in your capital?

    Seems to me, that unlike civ 4, the starting techs are always the same. So that means the choices of what to build first are always the same. This means there is more likely to be a single obvious first choice to build in your capital... yet my search of the forms couldn't find one (could be...

    culture expansion control

    Any way to control which tile a city expands into... I got iron sitting right next to my board, and it keeps expanding into other resources... technically I have all of the resources already, but the iron I have is coming from a city state, and I may not be able to hold them for much longer...

    city placement and improvement

    So coming in from civ 4 to try out 5 again... But I find myself with no clue what makes a good city spot in civ 5. I looked in the way academy and didn't see anything... Can anyone point me to a thread or what not where some good general pointers are discussed. I don't even know what...

    what to do diplomatically

    So my diplomacy sucks big wompom. I find myself with access to all of the civs early on. But how do I choose who to befriend, who not to, who to open borders with, who to trade with and all that... In my last game I was in a bad situation in general (on small island with one civ, 4 others...

    UN confusion

    I am perplexed... I am playing monarch, BTS, bug and bull installed, no huts, no random events... I was thinking I had a UN victory in the bag. Just needed to build it... So here is the victory page... Kubi is second after me in pop, so he should be my competition... Based on that...

    diplomation question

    I won a surprise diplomation victory today... Chuchhill voted for me. Relations with him were only +9, I thought you needed 10 or 11 to get their vote. Does having a defensive pact count for something that doesn't show on the relations chart? This was on monarch, normal speed, bts. there...

    Bringing back espionage

    I have been playing with espionage off for a long while now... And whenever I post questions and what not, people ask why I have it off. My main answer is... it was tedious to have on. But I am caving to the peer pressure, and turning it back on... So my question is... what is the minimum...

    Weak start... or not?

    Monarch, BTS, random map and leader (got the Chinese guy who starts with a Q). Here is the start At first I thought it was weak, only wet corn, stone and a flood plain. But... Q is industrious... and there are some good plains hills... Cap should be a pretty solid wonder building city...

    plunder

    Periodically, I am far enough ahead, and have some spare production that I will produce some privateers. But... they usually don't last long, don't make all that much money compared to the expense to produce, and seem to be hard to handle... I had one city blockaded, but it had a land route...

    It's MY island :)

    BTS, random map, random leader... monarch, no espionage, no huts, no random events Looks like I may have rolled an island map, I rolled Byzantium, and Justinian. I find myself on my own island... And if I understand things, production is often a problem on island maps, yet I look to...

    Poor start?

    I don't think this is the poorest start ever, but it is pretty poor... BTS - monarch - random map, random leader, events off, espionage off, huts off. I thought you were supposed to get 3 food specials for any start? I only see 2 in the BFC... And no specials... though I guess that...

    Civ IV goes gameshow?

    Between turns, one civ asked me to stop trading with Gandhi, who I was about to declare on anyway... so I said sure... and right after that I got this pop up... I thought it was the 70's again... :) DK

    Check my logic

    This is bts, espionage off, random events off. I rolled what looks to be pangea, pretty small, and inca. I decided to go for a cultural victory, without attacking anyone pretty early. Below is the original start, and the save point of interest... I have a couple of decisions to make at this...
