    Resources for getting better vs playing casually + guide to diplomatic modifers?

    I've been a pretty casual player for civ 5. I understand most of the mechanics and can do fairly well on prince, but i haven't dabbled in trying to actually get good or the higher difficulties, though i want to start. What are good resources to do so? There's obviously the War Academy...

    Changing location of "My games" folder

    Is there a way to change where Civ 5 looks for the folder that contains the saves, mods, screenshot, and other folders? It's set to C:, in user/you/My Documents/My Games/Sid Mier's Civilization V , but I don't have a whole lot of room on C:, and I need every megabyte I can spare, and having...

    Creating large maps

    Last time I was playing civ, right when BNW came out, it wasn't possible to create full size maps in the worldbuilder, I was never able to figure out how some people did it. I have a map idea now that requires a map as large as possible, so I'm wondering how to bypass the limits set in...

    First time modding tips/help

    There's two mods I want to make, and this would be my first time doing so. I want to edit the order/tech requirments for a few units/techs, and I want a different mod that changes some of the UA's. Is there a new modding guide for getting started? I know there's a really old and oudated one...

    Detailed BNW guide

    So, I'm trying to start playing BNW, but the advisor's aren't very helpful for the exact small new things. What does every little number and icon on the new screens do? What are the exact changes to units and other systems? I already know the big picture stuff (trade routes, tourism, etc)...

    Do railroads suck?

    I've never once used railroads in my games, they just seem so... uneeded with roads. Why spend the extra effort and gold? Am I wrong?

    Trade routes: Only between your cities?

    I was under the impression that trade routes were now how you traded resources with other civs. Is that not correct? I watched the sunday pax demo and that does not seem to be the case.

    Economic victory condition relating to trade routes?

    Am I the only one who hopes this happens? Something like "get 10,000 gold, control 50% of the worlds trade routes, and build X wonder" for an economic victory?

    Was the nexus tool/asset viewer ever fixed? I recall it broke after a patch at some point.

    Surronding/trapping civs

    When I was going for a dipo. win as Sweden, my civ was shaped like a C. One of my allies decided to plant a city smack in the center. This was beneficial, as their last city other than it was then just taken. This allowed me to reap the benefits of having an ally, without having them use up much...

    dll mods / Modded HOF

    Now that the DLL has been out for a while, has there been any good mods using it? I recall that we needed it for new victory conditions and AI changes, has any of that been done? Also, is there a mod that adds a "Hall of Fame" for games that used mods yet?

    Time victory tips

    Can anybody give me some tips for time victory, when all others are turned off? I picked ethiopia for this, thinking they'd be good at isolation, but in retrospect, I realize I dug myself into a hole with this one. Despite having one of the best starts I have ever seen, I have no bonuses...

    Mod to remove the UI

    Would this be possible? A recall a while ago, all of my screenshots I made in game had no UI present in them, but I never figured out what caused it, sadly. Seeing as how there are mods that alter it, would it not be feasible to make a mod that would remove the UI if you pressed a certain key...

    Getting AI's to like each other

    Is there something I can do to foster relations with 2 AI's that don't like each other? Eithopia and Songhai are on different landmasses, but eithopia doesn't like Songhai for some reason. I'm friends with Songhai, and it shows as a negative modifier for Ethiopia. The thing is, Ethiopia...

    If we are subbed to it, will we lose it? Or will it still be in our game?

    UI in screenshots

    How do you turn off or on the UI in screenshots? Up untill recently, whenever I hit the printscreen button to save screenshots (f12 has a habit of making the game reload the save, oddly), the UI was always saved with it. However, ever since I started a game as egypt, there was no UI in the...

    Worldbuilder large islands script broken?

    It seems that something is wrong with the large islands script; all of the maps it puts out are composed of ocean, and no pieces of land larger than a few tiles wide and tall. In the debug menu, I see it says "Target number of large islands: 0". I had unistalled and re-installed the sdk a...

    Is it just me, or does religion take away from culture?

    It seems like they just took part of the culture system, cut it away, and re-labled it as a new mechanic. Half the cultural buildings and bonuses now benefit religion, which makes cultural things harder to come by. The Religion beliefs just seem like a second set of policy bonuses...
