So, to be clear, I'm not a genius at Civ. Perhaps above average. I started out in Civ 5 and after the tutorial, played on Prince and won. Then King. Played every Civ. Then I won using every Civ at Emperor. Then I won with every Civ in the one-city challenge. That's it. Maybe the learning curve...

Having searched other threads, I see some people have mistakenly assumed being the last one with your capital entitles you to a win BUT that replies indicate you must CONTROL all of the original capitals. So, I'm sitting here looking at the screen and it has my Civ emblem on every original...

Never had this before. M'Bonza-Kongo is a military CS and I've had it as an ally and friend for nearly 100 turns and have never gotten a unit. Can't find anything searching threads... I've turned off the spawning switch and turned it back on but nothing seems to have changed in 20-30...

OK, 15 minutes searching with keywords, "move great works slot location" and I'm getting nothing. So, can you move a great writing after it has been created? Would like to move one to the Assyrian royal library. Thanks.

Once again, tried search but I guess building is a noun and a verb and there are too many instances of the word "building" in posts to yeild a good reply. So, Monty begged me to leave hiim alone and gave me a city. So far, I've watched it grow from 2 to 4 population. But it never builds...

...Specifically Mt. Sinai. In my borders but can't assign a citizen to work it. It says I can earn 8 faith but I'm only getting 6 total (other stuff). Confused... :crazyeye:

I get the "Do you want to use DX 9 or DX 10-11 To Play" query box. It doesn't matter which one I choose, nothing happens after I click (and the window I clicked goes away). A check (and a monitor) of the Task Manager shows nothing running. While watching TM, I launch and Civ 5 blinks up and...

...is there no difference? I'm guessing strategy is a bit different as in STANDARD pace, you might not build a certain combat unit knowing it would be obselete pretty quickly but under the slower progression, I would guess it's more useful not to skip. (I've always played on STANDARD speed).

Since I refuse to create an account on an invasive, privacy-trampling site like Facebook, the answer/vote is obvious.

First of all, let me say I tried to search before I asked. Apparently, you can't use "AI" in your search terms because it's too short. Since nearly everyone refers to the computer player as the AI, my expected success at a search wasn't high, so I asked instead of using "luxury" and "trade" --...

Playing on prince level and it's turn 14. I have 104 gold. It would take 500 gold (as I call it, the "double" gift) to give enough money to a CS to go past Friend to Ally. Since Prince level is said to give NO advantages to the AI players, how can they have an ally status so fast?

Currently, I play a certain setup: Pangea map Prince level Standard size map and a lot of random settings (sea level, age, etc.) Check box "New Random Seed" And I am going through the list of leaders trying to win at every kind of victory (Domination, Culture, etc.). EVERY time I...

Turn ~495 (Domination Victory Conditions): Delcared war and launched nuke...beautiful golden color and game locks with twirling globe cursor. Reloaded and even allowed the defender to play after war declaration and he launced a nuke (no golden glow, however) and same "twirling hang". I...

With Cultural as the only victory allowed, does the game end at 500 turns anyway or does it go till finished (in the event no one has the 5 cultures and the Utopia project completed)? (hopefully a quick question) Thanks in advance !

Yep... Now, when in the industrial and modern periods, the only (non-ranged) land unit I see built are SAMs and AA guns. Loads of them. Scads of them. I guess the "pendulum" has been swung the other way now... They defend with 'em, attack with 'em. The universal soldier unit ! Don't...

Well, from what I gather, a lot of serious people here just crunch the numbers and get their wins. The visual aspects of the game don't really matter. But as a person who has a bit of experience in graphics, I can apreciate the amount of detail spent on making the little things. Does anyone...

Yes, if you click my name and look at my threads, you'll see one where my exasperation (sp?) at beating the game on King morphed into a thread. I got a lot of good tips and support. People took time to explain some things and point out some ideas. So, as a person who has only played this...

So, from the manual: So, am I confused easily or IS it difficult to determine if combat units are assisted just one tile away or two tiles? Not that anyone probably uses generals in a combat situation but I find myself sometimes "saving up great people" for a long golden age (which is...

...go figure. So I thought I might be able to win at King level after spending some time researching and having some people make suggestions. Turns out, my first game since (Napoleon) resulted in me being mostly 6's in demographics with two 5's. So, taking a sheet from "how I conquered...

Can't seem to get a good search hit on the forum here so if anyone can give a good quick answer, appreciated. Does the game start you off on the best possible tile to build your first city or is it beneficial to look for a better one (knowing every turn you waste, you fall behind)?
