    Miscellaneous (non-anglophone) Politics: Self-Determination

    As it was requested, I thought, okay, let's do it, but where? I don't think there's a thread for Politics from non-anglophone, continental, small countries, but I do think there are a lot of those people around. So here it is, maybe this will be the only topic, but I do think we can have such a...

    Looking for a Fewer Units Mod

    I like civ, but I very rarely finish games. The late game just is too slow for me with so many managing tasks. My ideal game would keep the number of decisions roughly equal over the course of the game, but for now, I would like to try something. The biggest contributor to turn time seem to be...

    Indonesia

    Since there's talk going on, the one civ I dislike greatly at the moment and which just doesn't seem to work neither for AI nor for the human player is Indonesia. It's just so all over the place and it secondly has so much overlap with other civs that it may just benefit from a complete rework...

    [3.5] Popups defunct after Natural Wonder?

    So, while trying the new version 3.5, played a few turns and noticed that after finding the Old Faithful popups didn't come up for f.e. searching a ruin or clearing a camp. Looking at the lua file, I find this error: Do I need to post the whole lua file (just found that they include your...

    [GEM v1.9.1] Byzantine's got no Dromons

    When playing the Byzantines, I can neither build a Trireme nor a Dromon which kinda defeats playing them ;) Other mods running are Randomized City Names, a few single wonder mods, Info Addict, More Mercantile CS Luxuries and R.E.D.s units. Hmm, maybe I should try without them first :lol:

    GEM Stage 1: Terrain

    I do think that the stages are a good idea, and I do think they deserve a thread each, I'm free to do it myself, hope that's ok ;) Here's my guess btw for the next stages Now here's Thal's post My Comments: Reading that list reminds me of why VEM is better than Vanilla...

    Powers of Perception - Bachmann's Swiss Citizenship and Political Speech

    Michelle Bachmann has applied for Swiss Citizenship and received it since her husband's parents are Swiss. That's a technicality and really not much to talk about. However, I think the reaction of the American Media are really really funny, in that they are so hypocritical and lead me to the...

    Advanced Starts

    Advanced Starts are a feature I do miss from Civilization 4. Else I'd always fall in the trap of abandoning a game after so and so many turns for a variety of reasons, perhaps the game was decided, perhaps the game ran flat and I was bored by the Ottomans. The system Civ 4 used however is not...

    [139.1] Don't settle near us / Insane amount of Gold per turn

    I've had two AI's ask me not to settle near them, Catherine before I ever build a second city (and one turn after I've met her near her capital), Darius in another game after he settled a city near my capital (!!!). Also, in the first game I received +167 income after researching mining (or...

    New Buildings

    We know that there are 13 new buildings in G&K. If I had to distribute that number, I would suppose, that... 3-5 Civs will receive one Unique Building (most will have two UU, some will have a UI) 1-2 new culture buildings, as Temples and Monasteries will be moved towards Faith Buildings...

    Happiness

    This thread brought me to the idea that surplus happiness doesn't really help us all that much. Golden Ages are mostly accumulated through other ways and it's better to to sell the ressources. So why not introduce a Very Happy penalty as there is a Very unhappy one? Say, if you have more than...

    Inside Syria's Prison - Eye Witness Account

    An Eye Witness Account by a Al-Jazeera Journalist Link (with Video) Is the Free Press really worse than an American-Zionist Spy? If Iranian Prisons are that good, does that make the Islamist Regime of Iran better than the Socialist Regime of Syria? Why does she portray the Iranian...

    Eurovision 2011

    I can't believe there's no thread for the Song Contest yet. After all, it is the national holiday of Europe (right? ah well, it's May 5th and 9th, close enough ;-)) But the song contest certainly gets more attention than thos two. So, I can't believe "Boom Boom Xhaka Xhaka" didn't get into the...

    Gameplay-wise, what do you prefer? Complexity or Overview?

    What Gameplay Philosophy do you prefer? Are you an early game-player or a late game-player? Are you a Micromanager or a Strategist? Do you prefer CivRev over the Total Realism Mod? I personally am a fan of Rhyes and Fall of Civilization. The Mod is already smaller regarding the empires you...

    Switzerland arrests Polanski for the LAPD after 30 years

    So, whas it the right thing to do? Is 30 years too late after the events? Will he be brought back to LA and spend his last days in prison? Did Switzerland get something in return from the US? Was pressure put down on the Swiss authorities by the US or was it a trade? (hint: Polanski had been...

    Federer publishing photos of his twins online - stupid or honest?

    Federer today put the photos of his newborn twins on Facebook, the photo was made by his father "who thinks he's becoming a professional photographer". Surely he could have sold the first pictures to the press and made some money? Of course, he doesn't really need it, but neither did Angelina...

    How will you celebrate May 1st?

    Well, how will you - if it's a holiday in your state of course... ;-) In my city there is probably three options (if you're young or active... ;-)) 1) Enjoy the nice weather and the day off. Don't care about the day of work, you really don't actually know what it's all about. (This is the...
