I just started up a game as Shaka, going for a Domination victory (surprise). Considering my plan is basically to go to constant war for the entire game, it seems like this is pretty much the ideal time to use Honor. But I'm wondering if, even under ideal circumstances, Honor is ever really a...

Ok, so I just bumped my difficulty up to Emperor and am working my way through a game as Venice going for an SV (I know they're not the best civ for it by a long shot, I just chose them as they seemed interesting). I'm set to eke out a victory around T390, so I guess I technically "won", but...

So quick question to all you people that know more than me: I currently have 4 air units in one city, and I'm trying to move a 5th one in, but it won't move. Is there a 4-unit cap or something that I was unaware of?

So ever since I got BNW, I've noticed that the Intrigue function of spies is almost useless. Every time one of my spies claims someone's about to DoW someone else, nothing actually happens. Same goes for when other leaders tell me their intrigue. "So-and-so is about to declare war on you, blah...

So right when I got Civ V (the day it came out!) I pretty much concluded that close cities = better cities. This was based on 3 things: 1) Closer cities are easier to defend, especially early on when I'm working with a small army 2) Road/railroad maintenance is much less when your cities are...

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not/to what degree the AI gets a boost to faith output. On King, I have pretty much no issue being the first/second religion, and even when I'm not trying, I generally don't get any worse than the 3rd. But now I've just bumped it up to emperor, and on...

Hey so I know I've been starting quite a few threads on these forums lately, so sorry if you're getting tired of the sound of my voice. I'm just now trying to figure out BNW, so all your tips and advice are much appreciated:). I'm about to start a science playthrough, and I'm wondering if I need...

So according to my Culture screen, there are 17 hidden sites undiscovered. Only problem is, I have no idea what those are, nor how to get my greedy, culture-mongering hands on them. Heeellllppp!

So I'm around turn 320 here, shooting for a cultural victory (also ahead in points, so that's a safe backup). I currently have 78 Tourism, which is twice as much as the next guy behind me. But it still feels like nowhere near enough to actually win. So how much tourism do you guys aim to...

So this is a quick question as someone new to BNW, and for all I know I sound absurdly stupid. But why in the name of Shaka's leapord print underwear would I want to build caravans? They're exactly half as good as a naval trade route, so unless I desperately need to send food/hammers to a...

Sorry for posting so much today, I just got BNW and am figuring out all the new mechanics. My biggest problem right now is figuring out how in the dickens to get spies, and any help would be appreciated! :) I am currently in the Renaissance era, but I still only have 1 spy for some reason. How...

So I was just playing a game as Morocco working for a CV, with a heavy basis on religion. Venice was right next to me, but we managed to be friends (I guess he can't covet my lands if he can't expand anyway), but we both founded religions, and he quickly set about trying to convert my heathens -...

So I just got BNW, and I think I've got a pretty good handle on the whole trade route thing, as well as all the new civs, etc. What I'm not sure about is the changes to the cultural victory, and to the social policies. So, Civ experts, how does one go about winning a cultural victory now? Which...

So I'm currently playing a Carthage game on an archipelago map, and I'm trying to go for a domination victory using pretty much only my navy. I'm just wondering if anyone's ever managed to win a domination victory (or even just play an aggressive, warlike game) relying on their navy? Are naval...

Civ V has run fine on my computer since I downloaded it (the week it came out:p), on more-or-less the lowest resolution settings. But I just started up a game today, and big lines started showing up on my screen as soon as the game loaded (it ran fine in the menus, but as soon as the game...

So I just got back into Civ V after taking the summer off, and am now playing Gods and Kings for the first time. (For the record, I'm loving it. Gods and Kings is awesome!) But more to the point, one thing I've noticed on the forums is the utter lack of anyone talking about the scenarios. So...

So I purchased Gods and Kings pretty much the day it came out. However, as a result of my complete and utter lack of computer skills (and Steam's less-than-perfect customer service:mad:) I only just got it onto my laptop in a way that allows it to actually run. Anyway, the tl;dr version of...

I'm pretty sure there's no official Fall of Rome thread yet, and I definitely haven't seen anyone talking about it here. Everyone's been pretty happy with the Smokey Skies one, but the Into the Rennaissance one got some pretty mixed reviews. What do you all think of the Fall of Rome?

So, I was downloading GaK today, and pretty much the hugest calamity of my life took place... It was at 70% downloaded, and then my computer froze and crashed. So I turned it off, and then turned it back on and loaded up Steam, only to find that, not only was GaK completely un-downloaded, but...

Hey my Steam account is having some technical difficulties preventing me from getting GaK just yet, :mad: so I've been stuck in a state of unbearable waiting while reading practically every post on the GaK forums to prepare myself. In so doing, I realized that pretty much no one has said...
