Well it seems like MadDjinn is done with CiV and I'm out of LPs from him to watch. Are there any other players who play on Deity and also give good commentary on what they're doing like him?

I'm wondering about what things should be done to maximise the effectiveness of air units. This seems to be where I'm at so far (beyond the basics): - Use fighters to air sweep before bombing to ensure safety of bombers - Grabbing air repair early rather than later on bombers allows for...

Good to see the cities being weakened. I started noticing that later on in the game even weak cities were getting along the lines of 200-250 combat strength, with city states having anywhere from 150-200 combat strength on each city. At this point, infantry take about 15 damage for the 5 or 6...

Awesome to see this updated for Gods and Kings :D I'm currently playing as Italy on Diety and I've been noticing that the AI doesn't seem to do a whole lot. I'm not sure of it's a resource deficiency or something, but Hitler has yet to capture more than one french city, and he hasn't even...

Another piece of advice I can give for ranged combat is to go into your options and look for something along the lines of tooltip delay. If you set it to 0 , you can easily mouse over any terrain to see if it has a hill on it or river near it. This can be handy when forests and jungles are...

The loading speed of the maps and menus are entirely dependent on the speed of your hard drive, which is usually the slowest part of your computer. Playing mass effect (out of the loading screens) uses your processor and graphics card instead of hard drive. I get pretty speedy load times on...

An update on my civ not working again: It seems that the issue is related to my computer, possibly in conjunction with the update. When I start my computer and Evolve gives me a driver error preventing it from starting, civ doesn't start up. If I restart my computer and Evolve starts up (the...

Mine stopped working again, what the crap?

I have the most up to date ATI drivers and it's not working. Edit: So it turns out that Steam's driver updater doesn't actually know what the most up to date drivers are, and a quick visit to the AMD website got my video drivers up to date and Civ 5 working again :D

I can't start it on DX 10/11 OR 9.

I've just starting playing this and I'm going through my first game as Austria on prince (I think). Are all the cities supposed to start with only the first ring of land in their borders? I found that at the beginning of the game I was rushing culture buildings and buying useful tiles before...

He meant great artists. Personally I find this idea (or just the idea of policy-specific bonuses to certain things) pretty neat. I'm not very experienced with the game however, so I don't really know the implications of this. Edit: Ninjad lol, takes too long to post from my phone.

When I try to use the Faster Aircraft Animations mod, it gives me the mod selection error. Edit: Cleared my cache and it works now :D

I'm wondering what strategies everyone uses and on what difficulties they use it on. Personally, I'm wondering what everyone builds in their cities and how they manage the reinforcement of their armies. I usually try to get a bank in every city, and also try to get a barracks and factory up...

You go to the "give a gift" part and it's in there.

I hope the entire expansion isn't 8 GB. I have most of my games on a solid state, and I only have 18 GB left on it.

Welcome to the horsehockyfest that is Steam. You must be Online with internet access to change into offline mode. If it detects no internet and you click "start in offline mode" (as opposed to "retry connection"), you'll get an error saying something like "this operation cannot be performed in...

I had a sort of "OH YEAH" moment when I saw that I had played all the games you had listed. :D Best of luck to you on your dissertation. Also make sure you update the post saying the last 3 or so questions are blank, as I almost quit the page thinking there was something wrong.

I've been slowly playing this mod since it came out, and I have to say it's been done very well. I wish I could play more before commenting, but I have been very busy with homework, and the thread is dying. The new building system does a decent job at replacing improvements, but I've noticed...

Because that still leads to tons of tile improvements, especially after a good couple hundred turns or so. Having buildings to make up for the lack of tile improvements is good. Perhaps just having buildings that give bonuses to tile yields for certain terrain types would make up for it. This...
