Haha yeah me too, though I started with Civ2 myself. This was my first online community, though I've always been more of a lurker. I started posting again with Civ6 though, and I gotta say... I'm liking the upgraded forums!

They didn't. (In reference to the last built item bug... still not fixed.)

Just chiming in to say that I completely agree. The quotes are ridiculous and really break your immersion when they're not appropriate to their relative era. I wish they'd kept to the "grand" scale that's what Civ has always been all about, rather than doing flippant and goofy stuff. I remember...

From the 20th December Patch Notes: Cities can no longer receive yields from more than one regional building per type; they take the highest (ex. production from multiple Factories) Cities can no longer receive amenities from more than one regional building per type; they take the highest (ex...

I keep trying to search for others who are having this issue, but I cannot seem to find any other reports. (My Google-fu is weak for Civ Fanatics, unfortunately...) I do remember seeing someone mention it in this thread, though, and there was a response that the issue had been fixed. So I...

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Yep, Science Victory. I totally forgot to post my screenshots! They've now been added to the epilogue.

Epilogue: Due to the influx of new ideas brought about by the conquest of the Arabic Caliphate, England quickly became a place where rational thought and the equality of man eclipsed the aristocracy's ancient traditions. Over the next half-century, this marriage of cultures led the English...

The Ascendency of England August, 1888 James Mycroft had no complaints about his modest lifestyle as a minor functionary in the patent office of the great city of Mecca. He had enough money to buy a pint with his meal after work, which was all a fellow could ask for really. Of course, it...

This is a story based on a recent game I played. I didn't realize I was going to write a story about it, so the only screenshots I have are from the end-game save which is in the future era, whereas our story begins in the late industrial era. (Sorry about that.) I've taken some liberties with...

Actually, I never really explored the (admittedly inferior) combat AI in Civ5 until G&K enticed me. Civ4 BTS had a clear explanation of AI behavior/diplomatic stance with easy-to-understand values. Civ4 had the Civilopedia always one click away. Civ4 made it so if a barbarian appeared, it...

How is Jon Shafer simultaneously the lead designer of both the best and worst things to ever happen to the Civ franchise!?!? My mind is blown. There were so many brilliant things that Civ5 did right, but at the same time there were so many beyond-idiotic things that Civ5 did so very wrong...

Hi all, The only discussions/math I've seen for this question was regarding Vanilla. With all the changes G&K brought to the game (enough changes to make me actually start playing it in depth, finally), I've begun getting pretty serious about understanding the nitty gritty. Is it still...

I understand that you don't want to waste time and effort if nobody wants to read a story like that, but nonetheless it is kinda silly to ask. Even if your story wasn't that great, a ton of fans would read it and enjoy it. The site is called civfanatics for a reason, after all :-) and if you put...

Funny thing, I just beat a King game for the very first time! My third try, and the first two I was completely doing the same thing others talked about; playing like I was on Prince, goofing about with early wonders and lolly-gagging for expansion. This time I decided to spice things up and rush...

Good stuff, thanks for breaking it down Bison!

It really is an odd way to handle warmongering, all things considered. I understand that it was just a design decision to balance how it all plays out, but I think it'd be cool if things like that could be determined based on your social policies. A warmongering path would let you do that sort...

I hated Civ 5 when it first came out. I feel like the developers really took some huge leaps backwards as far as some basic annoyances and ease of information for the player, and overall they simply made an inferior game with a laggy UI, ineffectual AI, and enforced war-mongering. I could...

Where I live its mostly classical music during the day, with short news breaks at noon and every two hours after that (or something like that). They played The Chairman Dances the other day and I was like "oh heck yeah!!" not realizing the song's fame prior to its inclusion in civ4 :P I...

When I first started playing Civ4, I distinctly recall the experience that became a running joke among my circle of gamer friends in college: "Load up Civ4, and it sings to you." Baba Yetu is simply amazing, as you all well know. It wasn't something I'd expect from a computer game. I...

Question - is the front page still up-to-date re: this mod not really being balanced yet? I've been watching it for a while but am hoping to hold out for the finished version. I'm excited to see that it is still very actively being worked on :)
