I was just looking at the achievements I have and I went through the games where I got them. Some of them were extremely easy, you just got them by simply playing while some others were a real challenge. You may think of achievements as you like, but some of them... I must say I have a certain...

Is it just me or did grasland nearly entirely disappear? The last 10 games I started, there was an awful lot of jungle (like 40-50% of the land mass) then desert and plains and directly adjecting to it another awful lot of tundra. There is just no land to settle like that - not early on when i...

I am curious if one of you guys has tried Bismarck in G&K yet. I always found he pretty much suck in Vanilla because the UA was, well... mostly not very handy. It improved a little with that 25% discount on unit upkeep. Also, the Landsknecht has been really cheap, but was also really weak so...

I was just wondering what would happen to all my downloaded content of steam once I lose all my data. Do I have to buy anything again or does steam remember I bought that once? Is there any way to make a backup of these while my pc is alright? Who does know something about that? Thanks for...

Okok, CiV is streamlined. It is more a wargame than a historical simulation. I have accepted that and i got used to it. I accually like playing CiV when the AI puts up opposition but one thing is really annoying to me and is killing my immersion: How can it be that a man, who is known in...
