Which of the leaders are the best animated in your opinion? Which were not? Bringing these leaders to life through animation one of the hallmarks of the Civ series, so I thought we should investigate how well the leaders are done in Civ 5. Character animation, the background scene, the voice...

"Play a lot." That's the answer often given pertaining to improvement at Civ 5. I want to improve my game, especially in multiplayer, but in general this has to do with just learning Civ 5. Should I just slog at the tried-and-true method of beating Emperor consistently, moving up to Immortal...

I'm torn on whether or not to build these. In fact, I have so many arguments in my head over the logic of making these, and whether or not they are worth it, that I regularly just ignore them given how complicated the problem is. :c5war:CONFLICT #1: Are they worth the cost? The first debate in...

Lots of crazy changes have done down since 2010, with regards to coastal cities and naval units. Can you now use command of the seas to project your nation's power onto the world stage, or is it more of a sideshow to the real game on land? Is it now really true that "He who has command of the...

I'm talking Industrial to Modern Era, before XCOM and GDR. I often want to focus on growth in early and mid, and then go warmongering in Industrial and Modern with tanks and fighter planes, but I don't get the feeling it's as strong of a strategy as going Swordsmen and taking nearby land...

I've mainly gone Tradition since launch day, and I'm much better at managing small empires. However, I decided to give wide a try today, and started up a game as Russia with the intention of opening Liberty. I even made the map one size bigger so I had room to expand. I only played to...

How much money would you fork over for a Civ 5 expansion that overhauls the AI in the following way: - Difficulty levels no longer grant any handicaps or bonuses to AI - Difficulty levels are now based on AI skill level - The AI, at higher levels, is amazingly good at playing the game How much...

I'd like to get some general benchmark numbers to aim for in Civ 5, as they are one of the fastest and easiest ways to improve at the game. These are for general play, either higher difficulty (Immortal-ish) or multiplayer. Not interested in insane Deity numbers, as unbalanced strats get you...

I play a lot of MP, primarily in the No Quitters group. There are many actions in Civ 5 that, although not breaking any house rules, are so caustic that I simply don't do them for fear of actually earning the lasting hatred of the person I inflict it on. Over the years playing in NQ, I've...

I've recently started playing on maps one size bigger than the norm for the number of civs and city-states. Originally it was just while teaching someone to play the game in MP, but WOW, it's nice. On the regular sizes, you have the other civs up your rear by turn 25. I sometimes find it hard...

I've played about 6-7 games as Brazil lately, going for that Cultural VC. I haven't finished any yet as I've kept restarting while I hone my strategy. I'm a mediocre Civ player, but I think the core of this strategy is fun and strong, and I'd like to hear some feedback on it. 1. Build...
