I have a single aluminum mine. When I put my cursor on the aluminum icon, it says "8 aluminum, 1 hammer". Yet I am only getting 2 aluminum. If I put m cursor on the aluminum ressource at the very top, i can read "2 aluminum, 2 total, 0 used". Is this a bug? How do i force the game to...

I was not able to find a topic that covers this, at least not a topic newer than 2010-2012 so the data must be outdated. (People described it as a bug at a time, so i suspect its working has changed.) I am one of those people who micro manage hammers when playing on immortal. However i am...

For 150 hammers, you get a missile that hits a single target, does only 60 damage (which is equal or worse than most units available at his era), and is destroyed on the pot. Is there even any situation where you want to use those, no matter how crazy or remote? Frankly I don't know what the...

I just noticed this, In my current game, i lose 0.75 influence with some city states, others 1, and others 1.25 I am trying to understand what dictates this loss, so i won't ally those who lose influence too fast with and prefer those with which i lose influence slowly. It does not seem...

No seriously. I call that suicide by human.

We play the TSGs, we try to make a summary of our play by posting. But there doesn't seem to be a format, some posts have too much information, others too little, and mostly it seems what we talk about is not necessarily what people want to see. So I think the question is worth asking : What...

Would be nice to have a page or post somewhere listing all the TSGs in the format : TSG1 : king - diplomatic win - egypt - OCC TSG2 - immortal - conquest win - napoleon [etc] Since TSGs are for practice, it would let people find specific conditions to practice in, or specific leaders...

Have any of you been able to do it? My current problem right now is the moment the world leader vote happens, it makes me waste too much time to wait for it. I don't get how it works so i can optimise it. In my current test game, i got into the information era on turn 240, but the vote is in 29...

I have an old account on this forum i haven't used for years, i'd like to get it back but when i use the lost password feature i don't get any emails... I had to register a new account just to get this fixed. My other email is can an administrator of the site look into this for me please...

I have been staying away from the strategy forum because I think it might kill the re-playability of the game if I figure out how to optimize things too fast. What do you think? Can this game have good re-playability like in Civ4 even after you understand how everything works and know the...

I reload from my last save game, and everytime it makes the game crash. I am 16 turns away from victory, on a huge map / king difficulty / standard speed. Any suggestions on how I could "repair" the savegame or avoid crashing?

In Civ4 when you are done moving a unit, it auto jumped and selected the next unit that still has move points. In Civ5 this doesn't work, and I can't find an option to enable it. Basically if i have a warrior and a scout, at the start of a turn the game auto selects the warrior and i...

All tactics discussed in this guide have been tested successfully (and repeatedly to iron out RND elements) at Immortal difficulty, Normal speed, using Darius/Persia to rush Montezuma. This means Immortals instead of chariots, but the same principles apply to both. Success here means taking...

Right now I am playing for a culture victory, and I stopped research for a long while now. Sitting bull has a dozen technologies that I don't have (and he has all of mine), yet when I try to buy techs from him I see the message "we fear you are becoming too advanced". All other civs are ok to...

I am in part a web programmer (php/mysql/js/xml/etc)... And I would like to start modding civ. I'll be heading to the modding tutorials forum soon, but I would like some advice on how you can "find information" first. Is there a reference site where I can find all the functions, variable...

This is in part a question about how the AI works, and another part a suggestion on a possible AI improvement. Question I can see that each leader has a favorite religion, but I am wondering how this mechanic works in practice : 1) Do they have to discover the religion to switch to it? For...

I play on BTS, and I only have BUG and BULL installed. And even before installing these, I was getting no starting technologies with any empire, in fact I think even the AI is not getting the starting tech it should. (For example I get no Mysticism or Mining for starting as Ghandi both in BTS...

I followed the instructions in the readme, with the exception of installing the DLL in : D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization iv beyond the sword\Assets Because the directory specified in the readme does nto exist. I opened the game/BTS (yes restarted) and I see...

Is there a quick tutorial / guide / crash course on BUG? Something centralized where you can learn on all the best features without having to read a big part of the forum or documentation? Somebody explained to me the green bars and how to use them with slavery, and that was something great I...
