Hi friends, my UI is messed up after playing Vox Populi and returning to vanilla BNW. Yes, I launched with mods off! My issues are at the top left of the page it shows happiness off and policies off and is also missing what used to come to the right of the diamond and a couple other things...

How do I see what I gain by having a monopoly? How can I best address the constant happiness issues? thx .. neilkaz ..

I'll start a new thread here for strategy walkthroughs as I've been asked to detail my start up for my typical production oriented but tech capable super race that I use to play IceX. The game is Huge/Imp/8/Prewarp with other stuff average default. This race is Uni/Prod+2/Food+1/LRAHW. My 21...

The easiest way for me to kill these creatures guarding nice to awesome systems is to MIRV nukes. This requires 3 levels of chem techs now. The usual plan is to use Frigates (FF) as they can be built cheaply and won't be much of a loss when killed. The early ships will raise your fleet level on...

Playing the ECL as Indo, I settled an expo on a one tile island with marble since I'd get both the marble and my unique lux. But it seems that my unique lux has replaced the marble which is gone forever! What the heck? Anyone else experience this? thx .. neilkaz ..

My settings are everything standard prewarp 8 player huge impossible. Other can feel free to play their own settings with this race which I will progressively weaken a bit if I keep winning easily, by adding more negatives than just repulsive. I play as Elerian picture since their spies look...

What's the formula for RA's now? I am Babylon in this Emperor game and generating massive amounts of science off a very good NC first start and then 3 new quickly added cities. Thea wants a RA with me and it will cost 250G + 10 added along with 2 iron I don't need. I'm just about to...

I'm sure this has been discussed before but can't find a thread about it. OK Emperor, Egypt, Fractal and the rest standard. I spawned on a small continent with just Maria of Portugal present along with 6 of the game's 16 CS. I can kill Maria completely and before any other civs know about...

Just as I did with Darloks, I am going to play 5 games with Bulrathi (the 2nd worse stock race, IMHO) at the Impossible level with a pre-warp start in a typical 8 player huge galaxy. I won all 5 of my Darlok games and hope to be as fortunate here. As in that thread, I'll give lots of details for...

I'm starting a series of a few (maybe many) games as Darlok on what are typical settings for many of us, Huge/8/Impossible/Pre-Warp/Average Age/Antarans attack/Random events/ and with ship initiative on. I expect this to be very challenging as when playing many games with the weakest races...

:lol: ROFL here in my first Immortal game of G&K. I get a request from a desired CS to bully another nearby and since I am preparing a big CA army to soon be Keshiks I have no problem surrounding said CS with 6 units and finally moving 8 units INTO their territory and still they won't respect my...

My first computer is down for a while with a MoBo problem. When I try to install G&K on my 2nd comp, the installer just quits on me.I get options to reinstall, uninstall or exit. Yes Vanilla Civ5 is installed and this is a very modern comp with Win 7 etc. Thx for help.. neilkaz..

Here's a nicely detailed walkthough I found with two example games. http://www.rengels.de/computer/orion2/index.html It is always nice to see these Sulla-type of detailed walkthoughs, however, my style of play is different than the author's so I wanted to see if I could do better, perhaps...

I put MOO2 on my other computer since my other computer is down with hard drive issues. I just reinstalled from gog so everything should be the same. Same DOSbox, both computers Win 7, both i7 chips, same 24 in monitor but with the new computer MOO2 and some other old games don't take up the...

This is take 2 for me playing as all 13 standard races again. Hopefully, this time, I'll be able to win all 13 games :rolleyes:, but seriously I expect to lose a couple of them at least as things get bad quickly when using the weaker races and if I roll a bad start. All games will be on my...

This is a continuation of what I started at the end of this thread. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=324366 I just finished playing 13 games of MOO2 with my typical Cluster Map, Impossible, PreWarp, 8 player settings. I was able to win with 8 civs and lost with 5 civs As...

All three games for just over $5 http://www.impulsedriven.com/products/ESD-IMP-W2023 Just in case anyone wants to try these classic and fun games. I still play MOO2, hated MOO3, and can't recall how to play MOO1, but have to give MOO1 a try soon.

After feeling played out with MOO2 and still wanting a space game as a break from CiV, I've spent a couple days with the GalCiv2 demo and after while and learning how to colony ship REX and then switch to military I was doing well and enjoying it. So I went over to Impulse and they gave a big...

A few days ago I tried Inca on one of my usual Small Immortal Pangaea maps. I got a nice production start and the hill bonus proved really useful for exploring with my warrior almost as well as with the scout that followed. But more importantly, it was very useful for warring as I could...

Using the same .141 patch as everyone else is now. I take Monty's offered peace treaty for 10 turns and all the lux and res and gpt he gave me for 30 turns. So 10 turns passes and the peace treaty expires as usual BUT all his gifts also expire so I lose 20 turns of some needed stuff and now...
