    Mp - ai?

    I find the AI to be the same as the SP AI. They'll never contact you, but that doesn't really make a huge difference to the normal game. Been playing on Immortal Pangea with some friends, and the AI has even got the better of all of us a few times! We sometimes play all human, but when there are...

    Terra Incognita

    Playing this in a MP game with some friends and some AIs. We seem to have an aboslultey massive new world - from what I've seen so far it's even larger than the old world! Seems a bit over the top, but I guess it's part of the randomness.

    What is your favorite way to play civ SP or MP? Why?

    I play MP only, however I play with friends and we don't play it as it is designed. While we are playing MP we all are online using voice communications on a ventrillo server. When war is declared the players who are at war move their military units as if it were in turn-based mode, with the...

    The new patch has made a bad game even worse

    Diety should never be a cakewalk. Seems to me that making it so the AI gets fewer handicaps can only be a good thing!

    [FIXED] Patch 1.0.1.135 - Luxury deals last one turn!

    This one is similar to the never ending deal bug for me. Complete game-breaker. Will be waiting for them to patch it before playing again.... again....

    [FIXED] Patch 1.0.1.135 - Luxury deals last one turn!

    I too have seen this. Selling whales to Ghandi. It wasn't for all his GPT, but it was for all his gold. Left him on 0 gold, 3 GPT IIRC.

    Death of Conventional Strategies? [11/18 Patch Notes]

    I think everything looks good except forcing SP choices immediately. I really hope they revert that change as it's going to create some really annoying situations where the culture is earned one turn before an era is advanced. While I'm not entirely happy with the way that SPs are earned at the...

    Roman Rifle Rush: Diety Walkthrough (w/ speech bubbles!)

    From the patch notes: AI # Never use ranged units to provide flanking bonuses. (Added 11/18) # Improve AI use of protected bombard attacks (melee in front, ranged in the rear). (Added 11/18) Aha - looks like they might have read this thread!

    If horsemen get nerfed

    I'm predicting -1 ST and -25% against cities. They will still be strong in the open field, but no longer so crazy.

    What am I missing re: movement costs?

    Roads are half a move, a third after machinery. Terrain doesn't matter, but they don't cancel out rivers before a tech (Engineering? Can't remember!). I also don't know how much railroads cost. Hills and forests and marshlands cost two movement points to move into. All other terrain costs a...

    Selling GPT

    But can really save you in some cases. Rushing colloseums if you go very unhappy in war time... units to save a city. Lots of cases where you need money now and it's worth losing some in the long run.

    What Now? (Deity Game)

    He probably wants to play "proper" diety. Looks like a good start to me. I'd recommend expanding agressively onto luxuries. Get that marble, and those gems. I'd also recommend targetting writing as a tech so you can get some libraries and great scientists up. How easy do you want to make it for...

    Tanks, does anyone use them?

    I've found tanks to be fairly pointless compared to Mech Inf. I usually end up with one or two being gifted to me from city states, but I don't tend to build them myself. I guess one redeeming feature is that they upgrade to Modern Armour whereas Mech Inf are a dead end.

    question about damage dealt by cities

    I agree that city damage seems a bit poor. It also really should show a "combat odds" type screen when ranged attacking.

    Road Workers

    Given maintaince costs in late-game Civ 5 this seems rarely worth it.

    Deity Spaceship in under 200 turns - a brief guide

    I'm not really sure the AI has the brains to do an inter-continental invasion. It's a bit better since the patch, but still pretty awful.

    Puppets are too strong

    One of my main issues is the fact that they don't increase SP cost at all. To me, the sub-optimal (and it's hardly bad!) governer is well worth the 5gpt saving, lower SP cost, and (temporary) unhappiness in most of the cases. One example of this is aimlessgun's Roman Rifle Rush Diety game, in...

    civ5 on hamachi

    Well I'm unable to see any games. I also can't seem to host on LAN (I press the host game button and nothing happens). Did some googling and it would seem that others have got it working, but following their instructions I couldn't get it working myself.

    roads and ignorance

    1) I'm pretty sure not. 2) I think so. Consider it "word of mouth".
