I am rather curious as to who plays Civ5/BE. Is it mostly Civ grognards or people new to the hobby? Please don't comment unless you feel you have to, just vote.

The three main problems with Civ5 are: 1. Crappy tactical AI. One unit per tile was a great idea, but you have to back it up with an AI capable of using it. The actual AI is incapable of both attacking and defending. 2. Long turn times, especially towards the end of the game. By end of the...

Are there going to be any cool mods such as TAM, Fall From Heaven, or Dune coming out for Civ 5? That's not to imply that existing mods for Civ 5 aren't cool.

I reinstalled the game after over a year of not playing it, and found to my surprise that unlike the release version, which was not worthy of the Civilization title, the recent version has me addicted. True, it's not as deep as Civ4, but it does have a WAY BETTER combat system than that game...

One of the things I dislike about Civ 4 are endgame wars. There are way too many units, and it's just a grind. How do I adust the cost to build and maintainance costs of certain units? Thanks!

Is there any documentation detailing the victory conditions? I ask because I play on quick, and the game seems to run out too quickly, so I switched off the time VC, only to have another civ win a mastery victory on zero turns left. Thanks.

What are the sorts of maps does RMS produce? And don't say "random ones" please! ;) Does it exclude any sorts of maps, eg. Maze? Thanks.

How does one install additional leaders, once the file has been downloaded? Thanks.

How do I switch off the unhealthyness of flood plains? Thanks.

Are there any mods that limit stacks? Thanks :)

Are there any stacking limits in this game?

Playing Egypt is really difficult in TAM, which is contrary to history. This is mainly because settling in the Nile valley limits population rather than boosts it. I think the unhealthy points accrued from river valleys should be removed. At least as an option. Also Egypt historically was...

I think he was pushed, but his position was untenable.

The AI spams cities to the detriment of building an army. This means that: a. It doesn't put up much of a fight when attacked and b. Not going to war with AI neighbours is almost impossible since they want to settle every other hex of unoccupied land. This is very stupid.

I have been trying for a cultural victory, which seems to be very hard to achieve compared to the others. After reviewing online guides it seems that the cost of the next social policy varies with the number of cities you have. Is this true? Is it a simple multiplier (eg x = n * 1.c) where...

Each social policy costs more than the last, but do free social policies bump up the cost of the next one bought? I ask because I am trying decide whether to get Free Religion now or as my last policy before achieving a cultural victory. Thanks.

Does the new patch increase income greatly? In previous games I really have to watch what a build, now I seem to be able to run 100+ gold surplus per turn easily.

AI civilisations don't know when to sue for peace, or agree to a reasonable offer, as a result wars frequently take too long to be fun. In my last two games I have had two three hour wars, with all but one of the AI civilisations fighting me hopelessly outdated. Yet they still persisted in...

I would like to see Civ4 open borders in Civ5. Please. That is civilisations who have an open border agreement cannot declare war whilst they have military units in the other civilisation's territory.

Having finished by first game on prince, I want to share my thoughts. What I like: 1. The new combat system. One military unit per hex is outstanding. 2. The long build times makes you sweat about what to build. No more spamming out hundreds of units like Civ IV. 3. Maintenance for...
