    Indonesia's UA is secretly awesome?

    I think the OP is raising an interesting point, thank you! Did not think about that

    America, Austria, and Germany have lost their niche.

    These guys are called LANDSKNECHT(s). I ve barely seen that written correctly once in these forums :lol: how the hell do you pronounce something like "Landscketch"?? :eek: It cant be so difficult - the word "Knecht" is related to the word "Knight" - its not even written differently so much...

    America, Austria, and Germany have lost their niche.

    we dont know. it would suck as a 3rd unique unit tho, unless it has some nice promotion that is carried with upgrading. i mean, how many units do you convert as germany per game in the ancient era? not more than 3 per average?

    America, Austria, and Germany have lost their niche.

    If our speculation is correct, the barbarians get a new unit - the hand axe-man - this would give germany a 3rd unit unit basically. Just as an idea

    Trading posts. What will become of them?

    I dont think they are going to be changed - but their importance will rise due to rivers not yielding gold anymore, same with great traders. Frankly, I rarely build any TP myself because I always have enough gold and I believe growth and production are more valuable. I do not think they are...

    Please catch me up

    There is a whole new forum for it! Just return to "Civ fanatics forums" and you ll find it under Civ 5. The sticky threads basically contain every information that is known - everything else there seems to be wishlist and speculation. Have a good recovery!

    Changes to Existing Civ's?

    I believe the reason their UA expires is that the player should have an incentive to delay steam power (because of Napoleons ignorance in that regard). And I believe this is quite cool because this joke became some kind of tradition in the series which should be preserved. For that reason, if...

    Least Favourite Civ?

    Polynesia - I just hate that guy. He looks like a clown. I cannot have the feeling to run a great empire when there is that Hawaiian music in the background. Everytime I am Kame, I restart. Actually, everytime I forgot to deactivate Polynesia in the menu makes me restart. He grabs all the...

    How much of a diplomatic boost does going to war on request give?

    As far as I remember absolutely zero! The only thing the ai will like you for is the damage you do to a common enemy. Of course by the other AIs that DOW you declare is giving you the same diplomatic malus like every standard DOW you just do on your own.

    Civ V - One World Speculation Thread!

    Dont worry, I sure get your point. I simply want "health" back and thought it d be a nice little joke to say it that way. By the way, at the moment I do not like the city-growing system. Right now all big late game cities are those which are founded early (ok, given enof food is present). Its...

    Civ V - One World Speculation Thread!

    Tobacco, fine! But then reintroduce health as well and all cities get -1 health if the realm has tobacco ;)

    Exploiting Swords into plowshares

    I ve done something similar recently, not on deity tho - it works great! ToA is easier to get since the patch I think. Pre patch it was gone like turn 30 on immortal, after patch the player has much more time. Like it!

    Razeing City with Units inside

    Well, although I didnt try it myself, the outcome is exactly what I thought would happen - so I believe it is meant that way.

    Fall patch is out

    I am afraid it is not fixed - nothing was downloaded from steam - that puppet-bug seems to come and go occasinally. I have seen it disappear and appear again later in a new game.

    Fall patch is out

    Dunno if anyone has mentioned this alrdy, but the happiness calculation seems to be wrong occasionally. It is known, that sometimes it is not possible to puppet a city after conquering it. I had that bug last game and conquered some cities. They were auto-annexed. I wondered why my happiness is...

    What is your game play style?

    Usually playing an immortal game on fractal, all standard. After the patch I went back to emperor a few times but I could do whatever I want and always win without any challenge. My approach is usually: Found 1 up to 3 cities in favorable places as fast as possible so that the expansionist ai...

    Should cities upgrade to range 3 upon discovering dynamite?

    Cities are strong enof alrdy. I dislike even their abibility to fire on themselves. They rather should only damage units which attack the city.

    All the other Civs HATE ME!

    Sorry, but the other civs do not see "wiping out complete civilizations" as an act of self defence. They realize that they started the war (the diplo hit is less when taking a city) but still, objectively you re a cruel warmonger :)

    Nuking Gandhi - Somebody had to do this.

    Nice production! Nicely thought out story too. Ghandi never backstabs me tho because he usually falls pray too my usual classic rush (which he is obviouly always the aim of; if hes present)
