    The root cause of all the problems...

    I've observed that hex and no stacks are the least controversial issue with Civ V. And what is your problem. Also why do you not like steam? I've been using steam since Orane Box and have yet to gave an issue.

    Spearman vs. Tank alive and well!

    True Story. I was in afghanistan (US Army) I was the gunner in a armored personel carrier and we had a guy come out of an alley and try to stab a tire with a long stick, a spear if you will, but he didnt win, I threw a rock at him and we moved on but...SPEARS VS TANKS can happen in IRL.

    How does the lobby/matchmaking work?

    I was unable to join my friends game. We both live in Houston yet I could not see his game or vice versa. So I guess it's neighborhood locked cause midtown can't join games hosted in the Heights, they are about 11 miles apart so this makes sense to me.

    wtf no multiplayer saving

    No way to save a multiplayer game at will isn't a bug it's neglect. There isn't really an excuse for that.

    So, which leader do you hate the most?

    Is it me or does Washington sound like Bush?

    I think to players outside the US the American southern accent is maybe more iconic I guess, I doubt Washington would of had a southern draw though.

    How to you manage a large invasion force across the ocean?

    I've pulled off some landings, and yes it is difficult but it can be done, if you cant produce enough naval support to protect your flotilla then you should try something else. Just because you want to do something and can't pull it off easy doesn't mean it's broke. I once bribed a city state so...

    AI tactics suck even on Diety.

    On King I did see the AI withdraw its line of pikemen after I turned back two waves of them attacking a city, it had about 5 or 6 of them and then on one turn it took them all back to its territory, thats about the only smart tactical thing ive seen the AI do.

    Why Steam is bad for you

    Ive used steam since it came out, I was big into the Half-Life and its mods back in college so thats when I started using it, I like it, never have problems with it, I run over a dozen games on it. The overlay is sweet, I even add shortcuts for non steam games to it so I can use the overlay and...

    Age Poll: Fans vs Critics

    26 (in a week) Started with Civ III, I like the game, except I wish the AI was smarter when it came to war, I keep uping the difficulty and they still dont seem to be able to defend themselves. But I like it on the whole.

    What are you running Civ V on and how well does it work?

    Running a 3 year old alienware laptop, only 2 gig RAM though that's the only thing hurting me, runs on mix of medium and high settings fine, the diplo scenes lag sometimes though.

    clicking on a unit doesn't show its future path

    I noticed that if I tell a swordsmen to go from say my production city to my front line city something that takes about 3 or 4 turns alot of times another unit or something will stop on the destination hex and it seems like that will cancel the move order and my unit just stops. Kinda...
