I have played Civ 4 for years but a couple symbols still have me confused as I don't understand their meanings. The one that's been driving me the most is that black chess rook symbol that's over the city name/production bar. Some of my cities have it, some don't. Also, why is there an...

Hi, I have a question about forts. In the Civlopedia it says that forts "act as cities for combat purposes" So my question is, does that apply to the city defense promotion? If I promote my units to city defense, will they get that bonus in a fort too?

Hi, I got the Civ 4 complete series a month or so ago and I just started playing Warlords and I've noticed some really annoying glitches with vassal states. For example, I was at war with one nation and was kicking butt. During that time, one of my best friends went to war with the same...

Hey all. Long time Civ fan (all except V that is), new comer to BTS. Today I was playing my 3rd game on Noble and the barbs are freakin unbelievable! Near the beginning of the game they conquered my nearest neighbor within 300 turns and they've been kicking my ass ever since. The reason...

Do monasteries continue to give their benefits after scientific method is researched? I know you can't build them afterwards, but my strategy has always been to delay scientific method as long as possible so I can build as many monasteries as possible. If they lose all their benefits...

Long time Civ fan here (except for Civ5 that is). As a kid I loved playing Civ on SNES. I just downloaded it and have been playing it all weekend. What a great game some 20 years later! The beauty of it is its simplicity. And everything just works. There's not a huge amount of penalties...

I haven't played Civ 5 in about 8 months because IMO it's a pile of garbage compared to Civ 4. I'm playing it now because I'm super bored and it's telling me I can't end a turn without promoting my unit. Since when has this been a requirement of the game??? Before all the updates it wasn't...

Has anyone else noticed this? My Stealth Bombers NEVER promote. Every turn I use them I get +8 XP points but they NEVER get promotions. Furthermore, like regular bombers, I can't tell how many XP points they've accumulated or when the next promotion is because this info isn't listed anywhere...

What am I doing wrong? I build my Civ, get all the luxury resources I can find and build all of the happiness buildings that I can, yet my medium sized civ has 4 unhappy faces and I'm at -14 coin. There seems to be NO way to ever be positive in either category. I'm playing on Prince btw...

One of my biggest pet peeves with Civ4 was that the tile that you built your city on always had the same production (I think it was 2 food, 1 shield and 1 gold). You didn't get any bonus depending on the type of tile you built on. Does anyone know if it will be this way in Civ5? I just think...

I'll probably get flamed for asking this, but I really want to know and I haven't read it anywhere else. Since the original Civ, cities have always been able to work 20 squares in that + shape. Now my question is, what does the radius look like in Civ5 with hexes? What is the total number...
