The science mechanic needs a major overhaul in CBE. It had several problems in Civ 5 that need to be avoided such as: Having the capability to be hopelessly out teched. Generally, the civilized world has had the same general level of tech advancement throughout history. It was annoying in...

It sounds like a non-sense question, but I really feel like I would need a good explanation in order to have an immersive experience. Here we have 8 different factions from Earth, all united in searching for a new Eden together, avoiding the atrocities of war (remember The Great Mistake?), and...

This is the place to discuss about all the features revealed in the sticky thread entitled "Beyond Earth Features". Here's the link: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=524199 Recently, we learned there will be a new planetary threat called the Raptor bug. We also got a...

So we know that CBE will have lots of aliens on the planet world; some hostile, and some friendly. We also know that (at least in singleplayer), the player will start alone in the world before the other factions arrive later. Why not just have a mode or option that emphasizes this aspect even...

Does anyone know if there will be a campaign in Beyond Earth? Civ 5 seemed to really lack in the narrative department and that disappointed me. I think with hostile alien worlds and uncovered secrets, Beyond Earth would be the perfect candidate to have an array of missions that end with some...

Post anything here regarding Beyond Earth's multiplayer, whether it be info found, wishlists, or speculation. So far, we know for a fact that there can be a maximum of 8 players on one planet. http://www.civilization.com/#info As for a wishlist, the main thing that comes to mind are the...

Here is a brief analysis of the official screenshots that have been released. Take what you will with a grain of salt. Let's start with the first screenshot. WARNING: Large image. The most apparent thing on the screen is the spaceship-like vehicle at the center of the image. Because no other...

Hello! So recently, I played a multiplayer game where Arabia completely dominated everyone with his Camel Archers. I wondered to myself: "How do I counter this unit and the blitz tactic that it utilizes?" I eventually thought of a few strategies myself (all in theory) that take place in the...

I can't stand it! In every multiplayer game I join in Brave New World, everyone quits by the Renaissance era because either: -They lost the race to a World Wonder -They're bored -Someone declared war on them (yes, people will even quit before a single shot is fired) -They're losing -They...

Hello, I finally decided to try and do some Singeplayer for once on Brave New World but I don't know what settings to choose! Questions: 1. What civs are the most fun to play as or against (especially out of the new BNW lineup)? 2. What is the most fun map to play on? 3. What is the best...

Hello, I have a question about the Pitboss mode. If I create a Pitboss game, will it show up as a joinable game in the main lobby after it has already started, or do you have to invite friends to play Pitboss with other people? If Pitboss doesn't show up in the main lobby after the game has...

Anyone else think that the ranged units need a nerf (like, weaker :c5strength: so melee units can kill them easier)? Right now, it seems pointless to get Swordsmen over Composite Bowmen, for example (except to secure the capture of a city).

All Unit Changes in Brave New World Here are all the unit changes in the Brave New World expansion pack for Civilization V. Please correct me if there is any wrong information so I can fix it (it will probably go through several edits! :crazyeye:). Enjoy! :) Battleship: - No longer has 30%...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has bought an e-copy of the Official Brave New World Strategy Guide from BradyGames. If you have bought an e-copy, is it any good? Now, I KNOW BradyGames doesn't always make the best guides AND that patches could make some of the info outdated eventually. But...

Has anyone else tried out the Winged Hussar? I tried them last night and they were incredibly powerful. Combine these three buildings and they are nearly unstoppable: Ducal stable for the +15 XP for mounted units Barracks for the +15 XP for military units Heroic Epic for the +15%...

Hello! Right now, the turn timers for multiplayer can be set to specific time quantities such as 60 seconds per turn. However, there is a problem: when you get later in the game (perhaps somewhere in the late classical/early medieval era), 1 minute turns are impossibly short. The only dynamic...

Forgive me for the brevity of the post, but this is something that needs to be addressed. A host should NOT be able to kick people in an online game! As of now, a host can kick anyone if he wishes. Is there a player beating him? Problem solved. Just kick. It's silly and needs to be fixed! What...

Tourism is the best addition to Civilization V! Out of all the mechanics that have been added to Civilization V, Tourism is by FAR the most impressive in my opinion (followed very closely by the World Congress). It makes the game so much more dynamic. No longer is a culture victory a...

Ahh, the Ice Age. The land of glaciers, tundra, and of course, snowball fights. This map script in Civilization 5 (and others like it, such as Boreal and Tilted Axis) forces the player to think of new strategies in order to survive the harsh and freezing landscape. While on most other...

Do you guys know of any radical strategies that I could use (generally from early to mid game)? They can be civ-specific.
