Is the win condition for the polynesia scenario borked? Or do you have to do something else as well as discovering all the social policies. I quite like it actually, it has a very different flavour. Very resource poor and different balance of combat.

Has anyone seen this? I didn't notice it before, but I saw a religious city state have a great prophet in their own colours. Since I already gave them my religion I hope they go off and spread it to the AI.

Touch screen control is pretty good actually. I was sceptical, but you know, it works ok. Also provides the hand a rest from mouse-cramp or even worse track-pad cramp

OK, a little advice needed I am playing as morocco and aiming for diplo victory w/autocracy. All going ok, up to industiral. However Brazil has way more city state allies that I do. So would it be best to go take brazil out to weaken their hold? Or just stockpile cash and spam it at...

Can siege tower upgrade to something else?

Ok, which are the best civs to play with libery? I know trad is better, but bear with me. Ones with UA that is per tile? ie celts? or arabs?

What would people suggest is the best way to level the playing field in a Civ 5 multiplayer game? I have a group i have played with however (ahem) I am a little more skilled in the game than most of them. Woudl simply having the better player start on 'Emperor' difficulty rather than...

Wow.. For some reason the 'We are Family' achievement just triggered for me. It certainly isn't something that happened in my current MP game. I did previously meet the conditions in an SP game.. OH.. does it fire even if it is someone else's religion? on of the other players in the...

Hi I tried looking for this but I couldn't get an overview. I have played G&K a bit but am now learning BNW. For the victory types, I know there is the manual, but can any players help me with an overview. Spaceship - same Conquest - same Culture - used to need to have a few cities...

For the conquest achievements, doe the world size need to be at least small? I tried to get a couple using h.the duel size map, but they haven't unlocked. Apologies if this is mentioned elsewhere but it did not turn up in a search. Not much strategy here -> moved to General Discussion.

I tried a search and it didn't quite come up with what I was after. The question is, what is the highest happiness rating anyone has achieved? I tried a game where I designed my religion to spam happiness, grabbed a load of luxuries, and also went for a blend of social policies and wonders...

Well, it took a while. After initially getting the hang of the game, I kind of steered clear of conquest wins. Then, whilst working on achievements I went back since they can be a little quicker. I didnt use navy at first, but on water maps and indeed in most situations a fleet of upgraded...

Now, it took a while but I thought i'd untick G&K so I could get the Ottoman achievement for capturing barabrian ships. It was a bit cheesy to farm the barbarian spwans at first, but then I got more of a taste for it. But, the end results are great - a whole bunch of galleys XP'd up to...

I know it is meant to be more of a challenge, and I have tried a number of starts now, but frankly immortal seems too hard to be fun. Maybe I need to not worry about settling extra cities, but it always seems like I am way behind in terms of army. DO I really need to change my play from that...

Well, sometimes I manage to be first to found a religion. And you get an almost free range on what beliefs to take. There are some threads already suggesting the power of pagodas or cathedrals. But, when you only have 3-4 cities I am not sure that this is the right way to go. I have tried...

So, is is possible to survive in the Frigates era without frigates? I am heading through a huge map archipeligo cultural game, and have kept it down to only 2 cities. However there is sadly no iron around and also none owned by any of the CS that I am allied with. Also sadly none of the 7 or...

Hi there - are there any PBEM type or I guess Hotseat games that I could join? I like playing Civ5, and the notion of the challenge of MP really appeals. However my time to be online is sporadic, so a pass the save game type (maybe enabled by GMR) would be ideal for me. Any suggestions about...

OK, I tried reading the general advice thread and other stickies, apologies if this is stated somewhere obvious but: When playing MP do all parties have to have the same expansions? I.e. is it possible for someone with G&K to play against someone without? is that also true for minor...

I am having a try at the 'into the renaissance' scenario, and it is odd to play this way after normally playing the main game. Are there any good guidelines or rules of thumb for the scenario? You start off with enough culture for 3 policies, so I put all of them into Patronage, figuring it...

I think I am doign something wrong with 'demand tribute' from city states - for some reason it is red text most of the time and I can't select the option. I know there must be some simple reason or game mechanic I am not filling, but I can't see what it is.
