I just attempted and got sick and frustrated with the cultural victory thing. It's probably the worst piece of design I've ever seen... and I know just the thing to make it a lot more viable and possible... for me. Is it possible to reduce the number of required policy trees from 5 to 4...

Hi all, I'm planning on doing some XML modifications for a multiplayer game, and there are some things I'm not so quite sure of. First thing is to increase the amount of iron tiles available. Way too often the lack of iron can cause one player to drop completely out of league. In addition...

Hi there everyone! This is the thread to express your gratitude of the game's (Civilization 5) features! Over these many threads holding many posts depicting dissappointed towards the game I find it necessary to provide a similar channel for those who feel differently... for those who like and...

So I ran into this little scenario when I was testing XML changes in multiplayer games. At one point I noticed I and my friend had different changes in our XML files and we decided to try out what happens. To our dismay it worked quite fine, apart from frequent desyncs. I first brought it up...

I've heard a lot of fuss about how tile yields in Civ5 are notoriously bland and differ very little from each other. Since this is the creation & customization board, I figured this could be discussed at length. What would be a better alternative? What downsides would the modifications have...

I've been dying to have real-time conversations regarding Civilization 5 (multiplayer in particular). I've been trying to find such channels on any IRC network with no success. If any of you might know of a channel, let me (and others reading this thread) know! EDIT: Oh right, found the...

Hi there all. I'm wondering what kind of multiplayer settings do you prefer the most. I've been playing mostly with a group of 3-5 friends, 3 persons being a bit superior to the other 3. We've been playing maybe a dozen multiplayer matches now. Post-patch we noticed how essentialy iron...

Hi all, first time I post on the Stories section. I start off with a replay of the game. Map is not included, as one can't save a map in a multiplayer game for some reason. Oh, and don't mind the multiple same names of the cities; we had a habit of renaming our cities for comic relief. For...

So a bunch of friends gathered to continue a multiplayer game we had only to notice we cannot continue it. One player quit after he had arrived a point he cannot win. He was the host, but the saves are kept with others, so we thought "no problem". Now when we try to continue, we can't make...

I've been playing quite some time and often come across some situations which irritated me slightly. Canal As you all know, if you build a city with water on each side, a ship can pass right through. This can be a huge advantage, as the city operates as a canal. Not always is it possible to...

As you all know, Civilization 5's civilopedia is the worst of all we've seen. Lacking in detail and information, it's near useless. There is another issue, however. It's very hard to read. As I try to look through units and what abilities they have, to what unit they upgrade, I have to...
