I tried clicking the links to the guides (peaceful and science victories) only to get a message stating I dont have permission?

Folks, I have read through many of the posts in this thread and would like to ask a question or two--- If it is so important to have xyz civilizaition, isn't it possible to copy the files for a 'similar' Civ and just rename it? You can rename cities in game so am I missing something or is...

Fractal. Thats it. I dont remember if I ever started a fractal map yet. I am afraid to really commit to one becuase I dont know that it wouldn't be a major hassle to find spots with sufficient food and rpodction to get anything done. I remmber now that I *did* play england an archipelago to...

I just started a great plains map as germany. I set raging barbs to test the UA an began. There are lots of close by CS's and I ran quickly into Japan, Songhai and Aztecs. Songhai already planted a city near mine. (Why dont we get the option to send them a message to stop planting cities like...

Dont forget the clydesdale horses resource!

Yeah. Maybe I need to try that a little more. I do kinda hate rerolling because it gets tedious. I loved playing Isabella in the scenario. Cranked out those ships and raced to china. ALong the way I found Cera Potosi and El Dorado. After getting all three china prizes I settled those WWs and...

Rocket built! Dropped nukes all over ghenghis and his hordes before lift off. So sorry, Kathmandu. I gifted tanks and arty to ya to help defend against GK but you disbanded everything but a tank you hid in your city? No room for ya What? the radiation fouled up the nav systems and we're...

Where do I find out the 'advanced' settings chosen for a particular game I am playing? I have finally cleared everone from my pangaeatic map 'cept for the mongols, those filthy hordes! And I am going for a rocket ship. I built a couple factories and sent a cockpit and stasis chamber to my...

I will be trying a highlands map for the Incans just for the fun of having things stacked in their favor. But I am trying to wint the New World Scenario with the new world civs and it just seems odd/wrong/off that the fractal generator used spawns so much useless terrain. Ice cap and...

I started 6 or 7 of new world scenarios and am playing 3 of them. questions: WHAT THE HEY? Im playing the Incas or Monty and there is lots of TUNDRA and ice caps????? I rerolled one start because my starting location for Inca was heavily infested with TUNDRA and no hills or mountains...

I was away on business for awhile and came back to find that Civ V had been patched not surprisingly. The problem is that once I select DirectX 10/11 (or 9) I get the 2K screen and the game crashes! I looked on the boards for solutions. Including 2k's suggestion regarding integrity check of...

Or a few... I have been playing through as each of the empires on the new scenario. I had fun with the Incas once I figured out that only my capital could really be helped by terraced farms but man, no hill slowdowns? I was able to retreat and send aid quickly to repel the imperialist...

I used road to the city tile. The worker stopped short of the city in the tile adjacent saying it was blocked.

I have a beef with workers. If you are friendly with a civ or CS, your worker should be able to stack with their military. I recently had a road request from a CS and built a road to them. CS's appear to be making a lot more troops than pre-patch and this city was blocked by mountains on one...

i have played 3 games since the patch. Twice on the new scenario and once on a quick duel map against Genghis. When war was declared or staged my troops nearby, cities w/o walls had them very quickly. All of them. And the first game was played at warlord. *yeah, I was timid about the new...

I just finished winning the new world scenario with Isabella. I sent columbus off to the west immediately and found two wonders. Then China and a third wonder before scurvy took him out a turn or two short of the navigation school I was building. Lizzie began her verbal harrassment of my...

Middle eastern muslims danced and cheered in the streets over the downing of the World Trade Towers in New York. You don't think the people of an empire can be supportive of the utter destruction of an enemy empires cities? I can see a bonus to happiness from razing vs puppeting... it makes...

Thanks all. I was thinking that what you get for a start position might reflect on the type of win. I guess it isnt that crucial for the type of win. I know hill tiles are for production and I make sure there are at least a couple in the first radius. Answers have me thinking.. I have...

I never have understood why great generals only have 2 MP. They are pictured on horse and cannot keep up with the early horsemen units? In most battles the leader units were the most mobile on the field.

One of the difficulties, I know that some may argue the only real difficulty, of a deity game is the randomness of available resources for your starting position. Since I am not above restarting a game when I see that I am starting in a suboptimal area, I am soliciting input for what factors...
