Is it possible to get all the DLC Vanilla civs, i.e. Denmark, Korea, etc. on G&K? I bought them on Steam, but they don't show up in my game, what am I doing wrong?

Recently, I've tried playing with the abundant resources option. This, because I'm sick of having an entire continent with no coal or minimal aluminum, etc. Would you consider this a cheat? You get a lot of gold and production from the extra resources, but the AI gets that as well, correct...

I've played about 20 or so games recently with standard every thing, Continents, Emperor, Conquest. The thing I've noticed is that Petra is ridiculously powerful, and that the Civ that builds it generally ends up being a runaway. I've only built it when I have a great desert map near my...

I'm playing Persia conquest games on Emperor and Immortal. I'm relatively new to G&K, and I'm still trying to figure out which are the best Pantheons to fit my style. Obviously the pantheons which give you faith for quarries, or faith and culture for gold and silver mines are the best, but...

I've been playing Civ 5 vanilla for 4 years, and 2 months ago I moved to G & K. I'm curious as to why there are literally no threads or discussion of G & K. There are more threads bout Civ 3 and 4. Back in the summer of 2012 G & K discussion rules this site, so what happened? Is G & K...

I'm playing Siam, G&K, Immortal. I have a significant lead in the space race and have most space ship parts built, then I realize that the Apollo Program is NOT in my capital! I built it, but its simply not there. I replayed, and the same thing happened. Can't put the SS together! Any...

Sorry for being so behind the times, I've played Civ 5 Vanilla for three years, and more or less mastered the game. I just got around to upgrading to G&K, and now I'm really struggling at Emperor. I have a few questions. I like to play Bismarck, but that Civ seems to struggle in G&K for a...

Is there one? One is needed, as it seems G&K is a major disappointment. G&K might as well = Civ 6.

All posts on this board from now forward are concerning G&K? I assume so. I'm reluctant to buy G&K until patches come out, so I will be playing vanilla, which wasn't such a bad game. G&K sounds amazing, but it sounds like a patch or two are needed.

I've read how powerful Keshiks are supposed to be. I'm currently playing a domination game with Rome at Immortal, after polishing off Arabia with the good fortune of getting 8 early iron, I got DoWed from the north by Mongols. I figured I was done for, but to my surprise my archers and Legions...

I've been expermenting with Culture games at King and Emperor to try to figure out the stratagies for the fastest win. For starters, if you can build HG in a food and production rich capital setting, it makes a huge difference and will allow you to max out GP production to Epic levels...

I just played a game where America won a diplo victory with 7 votes. I was 4 turns away from Utopia. Civilopedia is very vague on this, but I've never seen anyone win with less than 10. There were 5 Civs remaing including myself, and 8 remaining CSs. I got 2 votes, Greece got 3 and America...

In science games, I'm tying to figure out when to sign your last RA. I lost a science game at Immortal recently, and I think its because I signed 2 late RAs. I think I was helping Russia to speed up techs like partical physics and nanotech, when I was getting them with GSs. I just played...

I've been trying to max out my GS production in science games. I know the basic steps, are building HS-PT, National Epic, Garden, University ASAP, beeling sci theory for the public school slot. There is one more thing you can do which is the freedom tree opener which gives you another 25%...

I just got my first Deity victory (Yippie!) with Egypt, Science. It was a very odd game, in that there was almost no coal on the map, so spaceship parts took a very long time to build. I was able to produce so many GSs, I didn't even need the Rationalism finisher. My question is about the...

I watched some of Wainy's Deity games. I noticed he seems to sell almost every resourse he developes and keeps his happiness around 0 or slightly above. I realize you need all the gold you can get at Deity for RAs or rushes. To me, it makes sense to at least keep one of each of your...

I've just started experimenting on my first games at Deity. I need a bit of advice. I've been missing on Hagia Sofia about 2 out of every three games. I know one shouild beeline Theo ASAP, but I find I need a few basic techs to get my cities up and producing. Animal Husbandry, Trapping...

I just started a game at deity, and another AI completed Hagia Sofia just as I was starting to research Philo, and just after GL and Oracle were built. This seems just about impossible to me. Its hard to believe they got writing, Philo, and Theo from ruins and then somehow rushed HS. I'm...

I've been trying to win a game with every Civ. Unfortunatly, the version of Civ 5 I got for X mas doesn't have Denmark, Babylon, Korea, etc. Today I played Arabia, King, small, quick, continents. I was struck by what an economic power house Arabia is. By the end of the game, they seem to...

I've been trying to figure out the optimal order of SP choices for cultural victory at Immortal Level. So far this seems to work best: after completing Liberty, I open Tradition, and choose legalism, aristocracy, monarchy and landed elite, and come back for oligarchy much later. Playing...
