    [BNW] World Congress Proposals

    Maybe I'm missing something, and maybe someone can explain. I was always under the impression that the top two get to make proposals. In my current game as the Inca (King level), I've been in 2nd place the entire game--but 1st and 3rd are making the proposals. I haven't been able to make a...

    High Sierra

    I'm guessing that Civ V will eventually will be patched for High Sierra? But--what is going to happen when a newer OS comes out in 2018 and no longer supports 32-bit? Will Aspyr make it 64 bit? Or is Civ V basically on borrowed time and in its death throes for Mac users (unless we run windows...

    I know it was bugy with the beta, but what about with the full release? Anyone here upgrade to High Sierra and playing the game? Also curious about Civ V and Civ BE.

    App Store Version and Console

    To anyone playing the Apple Store version and have OS Sierra: Any issue with the console suddenly popping up while trying play Civ VI or Civ V? It actually started last night when I was getting "messages" that were just plain weird in the corner of my screen. One of the ones tonight simply...

    [BNW] No Horses Again

    What is up with this game and no horses? Some games I get a ton of them, and I don't need that many. Other times I need them (i.e., playing as Arabia or Mongolia). Tonight--I have already started 14 games (YES--14)...and not one single horse (playing as Arabia or Mongolia). Not a single one and...

    Does Epic Speed Rules Apply to AI?

    Just curious. I used to play Epic when I was playing as Prince or King. But have been playing standard on Emperor. I decided to start Epic again as I wanted my military units to be more relevant and last longer. I understand the basics of the various speeds--how things take longer to build...

    Problems Loading Auto Saves

    Anyone else having problems loading auto saves? By that, I mean, I copy the autosave file to a folder so I have it and delete the original. I want the saved file for the future. But now (for some reason) it shows up at a text file. I get info on it, and change to open with Civ V, but it refuses...

    Average Turn AI's Get Musketmen

    Just curious how soon the AI can research and build musketmen (i.e., average time) I'm playing as Venice, turn 154 (Emperor level) (standard speed) (no mods) and the Aztecs already have musketmen. I'm not sure when they built them but I noticed the one musket man on turn 154 when they were...

    Stupid AI Trade Offers

    What are the most stupid AI trade offers you get? For example, tonight I'm playing a game, and it's around turn 300 and around 1900 or so. The Aztecs offer me one horse if I give them open borders. Why in the heck would I want one horse that late in the game and why would I give open...

    World Wonders Go Quick!

    How fast are these thing built (world wonders)? King level. I WAS playing as Babylon. Great start--next to mountain and river, and five salt. Great start. Great Library was built by turn 30. Temple of Artemis turn 35. Great Wall on turn 42. Turn 48 Hanging Gardens was built...But not by me...

    Renaming Units

    I know how to rename units when they are upgraded--but can you rename them when they are upgraded from a goodie hut? I could have sworn I've seen videos where the player was able to rename at that point (i..e, scarcher--for scout archer) or when a city state gifted them a unit. But I can...

    What Is Wrong With The Start Bias?

    I'm serious--and apologies for being ticked off. But I have yet to get a decent start or resources. And it's been over two hours. For example: 1) Tried to play as Arabia and got 9 jungle starts in a row. Why in the heck would Arabia have a jungle start? 2) So I said the heck with it and went...

    Puppets Have Universities But Build Libraries??

    Yup--Exactly that. Had a game tonight and I puppeted several cities during my wars. And I noticed that they are building libraries even though they already have universities and public schools. And this is late game--i.e., year 1940 or something. And when I did annex a capital, it...

    ATTN: Mac Users

    I got this tonight on the loading screen--Apple Store version. You may want to read this, as you may have to reinstall soon: http://support.aspyr.com/hc/en-us/articles/207941843?utm_source=GameGuide3&utm_medium=MacApp&utm_campaign=MASCertNotification

    Logic of AI Stealing Techs?

    Yup--what the title says. I am currently playing as the Shoshone--and it's only turn 140 and I'm in dead last place in science. Not a big deal--I know I can catch up once I get all my universities up. And Songhai then got to Renaissance first. But that's not the issue. It seems everyone...

    How Can AI Build So Many Cities?

    I only play on Emperor. I watch a lot of the videos and I never see the problem I come across a lot. That is mainly that the AI can forward settle two or three cities by turn 50. I was (note past tense) playing as China and the Ottomans had me surrounded on turn 56 with two additional cities...

    How Am I Supposed To Survive (Early)

    I just don't get it. I've seen all these videos and it looks so easy. I normally play on emperor but lately I've had games where I just rage quit early game. For example, tonight: I only have my original warrior and a scout. But I'm -3 gold a turn on turn 16. How am I supposed to do...

    Restarting Accidentally

    Have you ever done it? Clicked "restart" by mistake? I did tonight and I swear to God the entire world heard me scream in anguish. I was trying to play Babylon and kept getting lousy starts. Keep hitting restart since I kept getting stuck in either tundra or jungle. Then--I had the...

    App Store Version

    Is there anything I can do when the App Store has issues with their servers? Every single time they have a problem, I can't play Civ V or Civ BE. I get a window that says I am running an illegal copy. Am I at the mercy of Apple? And I don't get it because the App Store seems to be up and...

    How Does Bias Work?

    How does it work? I know it supposedly as to do with your starting location, but what about resources (i.e., horses, iron, etc.)? I just attempted seven games as Arabia and I didn't have a single horse anywhere that I could see. Or if they were available, they were 20 tiles away and I'd...
