I don't have it! But I want to have it. Most of you guys (and gals) probably have it in your heads anyways, but to me it is still a mystery. What I imagine to create with this thread is an overview of all possible diplomatic opinion modifiers, including their maximum values, their duration, how...

How exactly does this work? Here's a couple of questions: 1) Do I actually get gold when producing more OF than the build cost, as the BUG interface indicates? It seems to tell me that if I whip a Warrior after putting 14h into it, I will get 15h overflow and 14 gold. 2) How does OF work when...

Since the invitation to this survey probably got buried in the other thread, here it is again. I have designed a survey where you can rank order your favourite leaders. Only two people have voted so far - I know one of them is @sampsa , but I would like to know who the other person is! Also...

(This was done with BUG, installed as custom asset, so you should be able to open the savegames.) As some of you already know from my "Random Questions"-threat, I have played a game lately that was nearly ruined by the messed-up colonial maintenance mechanic. Regardless, I have been documenting...

Why does this not seem to be a popular setting amonst you guys? For me this is just another way for the AI to blatantly cheat. Do you play with Tech Brokering because you feel it makes the game more challenging? Or maybe I am missing something.

Would anyone be interested in doing this with me? I really want to get better at this, but I feel I have picked up so many bad habits from all the hundreds of hours of playing badly, that I'm really having a hard time. I've read most guides, I've watched some of Lain's Let's Plays and I have...

I figured rather than spamming the forum with new threads everytime I have some question, I might just collect them all here... First off, would you raze Seoul? If doesn't have any wonders or religions founded or anything. I think the placement in regards to resources is pretty terrible, so I...

I'm far from an expert at this game, but I think I've found an impossible task and I would like to know if one of you can accomplish it. I played this game, IMM, Hammurabi, Small Fractal, 6 AI. From the map layout it's blatantly obviously (at least to silly old me) that the GLH is a damn good...

The settings are completely standard, apart from the world size. It's a Tiny / Fractal map, no huts, no events. I think I increased the number of AIs on the map from default 2 to either 3 or 4, I'm not sure. But not being sure is a good thing, this way I won't be sure I've met everyone for a...

I know I'm going to regret this... :D Okay, so I've rolled Sitting Bull. Rolled Shake before, but unfortunately I had forgotten to set the map to Pangaea. Had to re-roll and here we are. It's all as standard as it gets, standard world size, standard settings (NE, NH), only thing I changed was...

Hey guys! I've played an MP game via LAN with my brother last night and it was very unstable. I was hosting, he fell out of sync (ooc) sometimes every turn, but never after more than 4 turns. He had to leave the game to main menu, rejoined and it was fine for a while then. In the end we just...

I've noticed in conversation here and also in some of Lain's videos, that contrary to what n00b players like I would assume, pro players don't always seem to improve special resources appropriately (i.e. not put a winery on wine). What situations are there, to do this? I am aware that some...

I guess it would be a little greedy to start a second shadow game, so I better just ask my question: Would you move?

Hey guys (and gals)! This is not just out of curiosity, but also as forward planning for me. Is there a consensus on who is the weakest leader in Civ4? Not as AI, which might factor in their behavior, but as a human player. I have noticed that some leadership traits are considered clearly...

What's there to do with Tundras? In a recent game I had some wet Tundra, so I made farms, but tose are pretty poor tiles, still. I guess the only thing of any value would be cottages, even those would suffer from providing too little food. Is there anything that makes more sense?

Hey guys! I hope I don't make any stupid mistakes here with this format. Please tell me, if I commit any faux pas! I have just finished a game on Noble (first game in a few years) and I dominated the AI quite easily, so I fired up another Custom Game on Monarch. The only changes I made from the...

I've just returned to Civ5 after about 4 years of taking a break (because the game was neither fun nor challenging at the time), because some people have assured me that it's now much better. I have all DLC available on Steam. How much has changed? I remember (rather fondly) how I won a game...

I'm playing with one city at the moment, Ramesses II. on King. Should I use them for rushing wonders or for building manufactories? I mean... over the course of the game the manufactories will produce more :c5production: than just one rushed wonder...

1UPT seems to be one of the major issues for most unsatisfied players, so I thought a bit about the problem. Wouldn't it be a neat feature to reinstall the armies we know from Civ3 in a modernized form? The standard size was 3 but it went up to 4 or 5 units with wonders, if I remember correctly...

I couldn't find a sticky Q&A thread, so I ask my question here... how... difficult is modding in general? Can some changes be made by just changing things in a (text)-file as in EU3 or do you actually have to know about programming languages or using complicated design tools? I'm thinking...
