Civ runs perfectly on my desktop, but on my laptop the mouse cursor is hidden underneath the city management menu. The city management menu still "works", but it is extremely annoying. I found a thread on another forum with screenshots that explains my problem perfectly...

Once you unlock ideology you can still pick new social policies. There are usually a few ideological tenets that I want, but after selecting a few tenets some social policies look like they would help more. So at this point is it better to keep selecting new tenets, or would new social policies...

I'm playing standard continents and I continue to be placed on continents all by myself a very high percentage of time. Usually there is a large amount of land to expand too, enough for 3 civs. This never happened before BNW. I know some people may like being by themselves to grow, but to me...

I have enough tourism that I became dominant over another civ. When I look at the trend in the right hand column of the "influence by player" screen (inside culture overview), the trend is showing blank. All the other civs show the trend. So what happens when your tourism dominates another...

I was just playing as Brazil and had lots of tourism. Russia captured my 2nd best city that was full of great works and artifacts. I captured the city back, but all my great works and artifacts are gone. Russia must have stolen them and put them in their cities (or maybe they all got...

Can somebody explain exactly how tourism works? I understand the basics, but I'm having a tough time creating tourism and maximizing it. I know that you need a great work placed in something like a museum to generate tourism. But how do you generate the great people to get the great work in...

I'm wondering if anybody has detected any bugs or balancing issues yet. Because no matter how good the designers are, we all know that there will be bugs and balance issues. This is inevitable when such a massive expansion is added to the game.

I played BNW for about an hour last night just to see what it looks like and to explore the new features. I am confused about how caravans work. I thought caravans could come under attack from enemy units. My caravan was returning to my capitol after trading with a city state. Aztec declared...

In previous versions of civ (either 3 or 4 I can't remember), there was an option to conscript soldiers at the expense of a city losing population. I think this feature should be brought back. Conscription has been going on for thousands of years and still happens. If a civ has a bunch of...

Does anybody know when we will get more confirmed information? Are there any more gaming conferences coming up or anything?

A lot of people complain about 1 unit per tile (1upt). Overall I like it, but I do think it can be improved. I think that a military unit should be able to pass through a tile that is already occupied, so long as 2 units do not finish the turn on the same tile. If the terrain won't allow for...

One of the confirmed scenarios is the American civil war. Do you guys think we will get any new units for this scenario? We already have quite a few units from that era. But maybe they can come up with a more appropriate seige unit. The cannon is very primitive for the ACW, and artillery is...

I used a great prophet to spread religion to the other continent (the one that I am not on). There is already a religion on that continent, but only in a few cities. Most of the cities do not have any religious followers at all. So I used my great prophet to spread religion to 4 cities...

I have seen lots of discussion about game difficulty, speed and map types, but not too much about map size. Regarless of the difficulty, speed or map type, I feel that map size has a big impact on the game experience. I typically play on continents, standard speed, standard size. I feel...

In my recent game (post patch), Ethiopia was next to me and they were spreading their religion like crazy. Their religion spread to every city on the continent, and even my holy city was converted by massive religious pressure. Ethiopia was sending a nonstop stream of missionaries into my...

This is my first game on Immortal difficulty. I think i've done pretty good so far, but I'm at a point where I feel like the next few dozen turns can be make or break for winning the game. The year is 1420 AD, I'm playing as Spain. I'm second place in score, and I am the dominant civ on my...

So here's the situation. I am playing as Inca, the map is continents standard size, the difficulty is emperor. The year is 1818 AD. Right now, I am at peace with everybody. There are 2 continents, I took over most of my continent and I am 2nd place in score (score of 1189). 3rd place is...

I think most people (including myself) are very pleased with G&K. But we all know that there will need to be some patches for G&K to live up to its full potential. The game has been out for over a week now, and I'm hoping that a patch will be released soon. Even if its just a small patch to...

When the expansion first comes out are you guys going to play multiplayer right away, or play a few games on single player first? Personally, I am going to play several SP games before MP. SP is much better to learn how to use all the new mechanics and new units. I don't want to be done...

I would like to see some sort of scout unit for the mid-game. In Civ 4 they had a scout and an explorer. An explorer was basically the same thing as a scout but more powerful. I say this because the scout is so weak its almost useless in combat, even in self defense. A scout can't even...
