The only reason I'm posting this here and not the bugs forum is I'm not sure that it is a bug or just the Grievances system working poorly (mods, please move if needed). In my current game (Hungary, King) I was Surprise DoW'd early by Tamar, who had 5 cities including Tblisi, giving me 150...

Just curious to know if others have started doing this or, like me, loaded a few selected memorable victories and are leaving it there for now. I actually wasn't that bothered about not having it in the game, but now it's there all the greyed-out icons that I know I've ticked off are irksome to...

Is it just me, or is it daft that this wonder buffs tundra tiles in its city and yet doesn't require tundra in the city to be built? I almost never get to build it because the AI's built it in a desert city somewhere...

I'm at war with Tomyris in my current game and have just captured the suspiciously-not-Scythian-sounding city of Neapolis. Rome isn't in the game at present so I'm guessing she met him early and wiped him out, hanging on to that one city. I was hoping to liberate the city and revive Trajan but...

Title should be fairly self-explanatory. I haven't had much experience with this game as sadly I've found the late game to be a bit of a boring slog, but returning to it recently I encountered this situation. I started alone on a small continent with Australia; he attacked me and as the...

Just wondering if I'm the only one, but I'm struggling with diplomacy a lot more than I expected - it's very difficult to make or maintain friends. About 2/3 way through my first game and everyone is unfriendly or hates me - even those with whom I only have positive modifiers! The AI seems to be...

(Had a brief check and couldn't see this asked elsewhere; apologies if it was.) I have a couple of questions about governments and how they effect diplomacy: What is the difference between the 'different governments' modifier and the 'they [don't] like your approach to governing' modifier? I...

...it's time to speculate on who might be added in future DLC/expansion packs if we are to have dual leaders for some of the other Civs as well :) (N.B.: I'm making a few assumptions here, which may not be the case - for instance, I feel that in the interests of diversity, where possible they...

(Just to clarify: this isn't a performance/computer issue; I'm talking about how long it takes to win the game via Science or Culture) At first I thought it was just me being inexperienced with BNW, and as I've probably played less than 10 games since the expansion came out there's likely an...

Apologies if this has already been asked... I've noticed on several occasions that the AI, when bribed to vote one way in the World Congress, will allocate some of its delegates to vote as instructed, but will usually have at least one delegate also voting the other way for the same proposal...

A thread kind of inspired by this one from a few months ago. Which of CiV's Wonders - World, National or Natural - are you closest to geographically? Here are some handy lists, broken down by continent. I've included all three types of Wonder, as well as the no-longer-extant ones. I have...

I ask because in my current game, Indonesia has managed to acquire himself an MoV, which I assume he captured since he's been at war with Venice. He moved it to within the borders of Buenos Aires and it's just been sat there for about 20 turns. Is it actually possible to puppet CSS with...

I'm compiling a list, as in my case there seem to be quite a few of these: 1. Just because you can now dabble in different policy trees doesn't necessarily mean you should. 2. If you're going to go Piety, go early. Reformation beliefs will go a lot faster than you think they will. 3. The Zulu...

I'm not sure if this belongs in technical support, but since it's not actually a problem - more an observation - I thought I'd post it in here. Has anyone else noticed that the little 'gong!' noise you get when you enter a new era is particularly loud when you hit Industrial? I have no idea...

When I installed CiV on my then brand-new laptop in September, it performed fine - the game itself loaded in about 10 seconds and loading save games never took more than about 20. However, over the last few weeks I've noticed that my loading times have gone way up. It now takes about 30 seconds...

Ever since I saw this quote from Dennis Shirk I have been waiting for someone to talk about it: It surprised me not to see this being talked about much given how the reintroduction of tech trading was something that people were requesting for a long time after release. Research Agreements...

A very minor point, this, but it has always amused me that the Great Wall goes obsolete when the builder discovers Dynamite. I would have thought it would be the people on the other side of the wall having the explosives that might be the problem :lol:

After a few months of playing G&K I'd taken the view that the 'intrigue' feature is fairly useless. Sure, it's nice to get a diplomatic modifier if your spies discover something which can be shared with an ally, but in practice, surprise attacks and declarations of war predicted by the intrigue...

The AI likes espionage. So much so, it seems, that even when someone is completely conquered, their spies like to stick around for a while longer :crazyeye: Elizabeth had been wiped off the map by myself and Isabella, yet when the next round of City-State elections took place, James Bond...

Given that they're Windmill replacements, I assume they can only be built on flat ground? Dumb question, and I'm pretty sure I know the answer already, but it just so happens that in my current game there are hills everywhere :(
